Reviews of Roanoke College (College)

Rebecca Marsh

I am currently a sophomore at Roanoke college and I am loving every minute of it! The small class sizes are truly amazing and the community within majors is one of a kind. There are so many opportunities to get involved on campus and grow as an individual.

Roanoke College has changed my life in many ways. It has shown me that my dream job is attainable and has given me the skills and tools to reach for it. I have found my passions and great friends to go with it.

This college is so artsy, personal, and full of life. The professors are incredible, and many hold class outside a lot of the time! The campus is stunning and full of trees, the food is phenomenal, and the curriculum is unique and engaging. I waited for 5 years to attend school, because no college seemed worth the price. Once I found Roanoke, I didn't hesitate for a moment. It really is a family here, and full of the best people. I have grown so much in my first year here, and I am so excited for the growth ahead. Going to Roanoke College will be the best decision that you could make.

As a senior here at Roanoke College, I could not imagine any other place that I would have wanted to spend my last four years in undergrad education. Relationships built on this campus are truly amazing. Professors always open their doors and are willing to push students to their greatest potential. Waking up to the beauty of this campus every day will be one of my greatest memories. The outside community is also so welcoming to students, while Salem is a small town there is always something to do whether that be on campus, in Salem, or in the greater Roanoke Valley. I would suggest to anyone who is looking for a school that will help you find your dreams and passions to look into Roanoke College. The attention and relationships you will find here are rare and incredible.

Roanoke College is a great college. I am going to be a junior this year and I couldn’t possibly have asked for a better college experience so far! The campus is amazing! It is so well kept and the facilities are great. It was ranked the 18th most beautiful campus by the Princeton Review and I think it should be ranked higher. The academics at Roanoke are great too. The faculty and staff are so supportive of the students and they genuinely care about us. There are so many majors, minors, and concentrations to choose from, the options are great. There are so many different clubs and organizations at Roanoke; it’s very easy and fun to get involved on campus. One of my favorite things is the food. The Sutton Commons has some of the best food. Sporting events are also very fun to attend. Roanoke has a lot of school spirit for their fellow Maroons. Roanoke College was ranked one of the top "Up and Coming Schools" by US News and World Report, and I understand why. With our new exciting curriculum, renovation of old buildings, the construction of new buildings, Roanoke is definitely on the up and up.

Roanoke is a really pretty liberal arts school. The INQ curriculum allows you to try out a little of everything with professors that are very helpful!

Dominique Bowers

The professors and staff are wonderful. They are always pleasant and willing to help. The courses offered are stimulating. I enjoy my time here.

Brianna Carroll

Roanoke College is a great college for students looking for small classes and caring professors. INQ 250 with Dr. Wise is a great class for students not majoring in biology but interested in our planet.

I've loved Roanoke College. The opportunities on campus are numerous. The only thing is, you have to put yourself out there to find them. I have a job on campus that relates to what I want to do in life. I've joined a Greek organization that I've met some of my life long friends from. As for academics, you better come prepared to go to class and study hard. The classes and professors aren't easy but it makes you for the better. They encourage you to work hard because that's what you have to do in real life.

Love this school!!

Sabrina Michelle

Great place to spend my college years! I graduate in a little over 55 days and I can't believe time went by this fast. No college is perfect and there are definitely moments about the school that drove me crazy. But I wouldn't trade my education, friends, and experiences for the world. I was born to be a Roanoke Maroon and if you have even an inkling that you might go here, you're probably a Maroon too!

Catherine Chestnutt

I could not imagine myself anywhere besides Roanoke College. It is such a beautiful place with stunning Blue Ridge Mountain views. The professors are always willing to help you with anything that you do not understand and they want you to succeed. There are also plenty of clubs and activities on campus to be involved in outside of class! You'll be challenged, you'll be busy, but Roanoke gives you the most rewarding college experience that will pay-off after graduation.

Gracie Tompkins

Roanoke College has a beautiful campus and very friendly, helpful staff. I visited with my daughter for a tour and we absolutely loved our experience!

Alec Carlson

It's like fast times at ridgemont high, if the fast times meant you wanted to leave this place as soon as possible

Carolyn T

A wonderful atmosphere! The professors are great.

Liam Courtney

I went on a campus tour in August and I was blown away. I was given my own parking spot, a private tour and was able to speak with an admissions counselor. The campus is beautiful. This school will definitely be at the top of my list when I apply for college.

Ashley Eagleson

I give Roanoke College 5 stars because of the professors, students, and campus. Having a smaller campus allows you to really connect with your professors and peers. There are countless of opportunities available on this campus whether it's studying abroad, conducting research, or hiking around Roanoke. I also love the student body. Everyone here is so kind and supportive. It feels good to find a home away from home. A bonus is the gorgeous mountain view around you 24/7!

Rick Daum

Beautiful college with a collection of interesting people and insightful professors. My INQ 250 class gives me a chance to learn about subjects outside of my major in a manner that makes me think critically.

Kinsey Overfelt

Roanoke College is full of wonderful experiences and opportunities. I am so happy I picked this college and got involved with campus life! The professors, campus life, and people I have met have added to my wonderful experience. I recommend this beautiful school and everything it has to offer. I love it here!

Madalyn Chapman

I love it here at Roanoke College. You're able to pursue your passions, create real and rich relationships with your professors, and go outside of your comfort zone. Within just a few months here, I have grown exponentially as a person. I can only imagine how much more I will grow in my remaining time here. Submitting my deposit here was easily the best decision I've made to date.

Dakota Fink

Only problem is the MAJOR MAAAAJJJJOOOOR Theft, things will get stolen left and right and the CP wont do anything and they wont file charges because they "don't want to ruin the kids future," and they don't even bother to install cameras after multiple complaints!

Jack McElwee

It's a beautiful campus and a great liberal arts school. Most recently, my INQ 250 class with Dr. Wise has given me an insightful and eye opening view of biology and how it is affected by our changing planet.

Shenique Jeremiah

I value the years I spent at this school! Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. :)

Gabrielle Foreman

I currently attend this college and I am transferring due to the lack of diversity and racism on this campus. This is not a good school for people of color.
