Ailish - 11/17/2023

I think Randolph Macon College is a wonderful place. I would say the class size and the proximity to stores/fast food places is my favorite thing. Most stores and fast food places are a 15-20 minute walk from campus which is great for people like me who didn't bring a car. If you are religious there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with your faith via on campus faith groups. The housing could definitely be better and the food isn't horrible but it's meh. There are a good amount of food options within the one dining hall though, and there is birdsong grill which is really nice. Overall, it's a very nice campus that I really recommend.

Ryan - 06/18/2023

Randolph-Macon College is a college I would recommend for anyone who enjoys the life of a small college campus and not be overwhelmed on a large one such as Virginia Tech or University of Virginia. The college is just a peaceful and quiet campus to live and study on. It's a very safe campus with pretty much a non-existent crime rate (i.e. assault, theft, murder, rape, and other crimes). The professor are great to talk with and answer questions wit the answer you exactly need and overall it's just a great a campus to help you get your education and degrees with less stress and pressure. The food is somewhat iffy but it has it's moments. Given that it is a small campus there is really not much to do other than a few events a club would host almost every month but other than that there is really not much. This is a college for a quite and simple life to study and work. If you ask me my rating for RMC it would be 11/10, and yes I meant 11 out of 10 as it's much better than 10.

Sarah - 01/20/2023

Randolph Macon College is very welcoming! Whenever I've visited everyone has been so kind and made me feel at home right away. The campus is also very beautiful and in a nice area. Everyone going there is very active, whether that be in a sport or club activity! Small class sizes and professors are always willing to help students in need.

Raegan - 12/04/2020

Randolph-Macon is a family, everyone there is so nice and always supports each other. The sports teams are great, the academics are great, and the overall feel of the school is so home-like. I couldn't ask for a better fit! You have to visit Randolph-Macon College

    Dear me, As you are about to enter college, it's very important to understand who you are and what you are trying to get out of the college experience. Knowing these things can affect decisions on friends, classes, degrees, and your entire future. While you may not have an exact plan for your entire future and career goals, and you do have time to figure it out, don't stop thinking about it or assume it will work itself out. Do what you think you will be happiest doing as well as what you would be successful doing. Don't allow people to pressure you into doing things that you know aren't right.

  3. What's unique about your campus?

    The resources and tunnel vision toward being sucessful. Everything is geared toward helping you as a person grow individually and academically, and the resources available are fansatsic to helping students gain confidence to be sucessful. The student body is concerned with learning and takes the initiative to learn on their own and to ask professors for guidance. This environment makes you want to learn more and try harder to grasp the concepts at hand. At R-MC, the whole person is vauled and you are very much an individual that professors, students, staff and administrators remember just after one introduction.
