Randolph College

It has been a great opportunity for me to grow and to learn so much more about our community here in the area. I have lived here for more than half of my life and I would not have learned so much in such a short amount of time here had I chosen to go anywhere else. It is extremely inviting and welcoming. I don't mean just the environment, but the people all around. People are willing to go to great lengths to help you out and support you--inside and outside of the classroom. This especially means professors. They are very much involved with student activity and with the ins and outs of student organizations around campus. They are great to work with, from my experiences thus far. It's the perfect scene for a homebody. It's comfortable and right near most places that you'd need to get to--either within walking distance or a short drive. It is definitely a place to get connected with and it has certainly become a second home to me. There have been hiccups of course, but thankfully, because of the push forward with diversity and inclusion, it has become a safe space for everyone around. And, if they are not, those issues are addressed. I have found so many secret amazing places around this campus. It is a decently sized campus but everything is close to a maybe 5-10 minute or less walk, depending on where you're going. They only downside to this campus is the layout flaws, since it is older than most campuses, it has not yet been completely set up for disabled access. Some places make no sense as to why they were built that way, so in the place where there are no elevators, stairs are how you get around as well. I've had some troubles with the school, but it is relatively easy to work with everyone.

I think it’s an awesome place to start your future. The academic side is very challenging and pushes you to be the best student you can be. The students there are very nice and helpful. I enjoy that all of the buildings are connected and it is easy to get around. Over all Randolph is an awesome school!

It's a great school to be at, but there could definitely be some improvements.

I feel like I should lead with the fact that after only a year here, I was already calling Randolph home. The professors are phenomenal and I love going to classes every day. My peers provide a lovely community of like-minded, caring individuals that only add to the sense of home. The really beloved and unique thing about Randolph is the Honor Code which creates a trust and feeling of safety like I have never experienced before.

This college has changed dramatically since I first arrived. As a senior, I find the changes that the college has gone through very frustrating and unpleasant. These changes include student demographics, on campus activities, and administrative positions. The administrators on campus are never helpful and do not take student concerns seriously in any way. As a vegan, I find that the food in our dining hall has gotten much worse over time. Randolph has a significant vegetarian and vegan population and the students complain about the lack of food often, but nothing substantial has been done to accommodate our needs. The biggest problem I find on campus is the lack of study space, which I have complained about numerous times. Overall, the quality of this college is in steep decline and I would recommend finding somewhere else to go.

Randolph is a very welcoming and bright part of Lynchburg. Even before I was considering colleges to apply for, Randolph seemed very appealing. With its quirky staff, interesting side activities (Fencing, Humans vs Zombies, and the Gaming Center standing out from the rest for me), appealing majors (Creative Writing for myself), the wacky traditions, and the friendly atmosphere that just radiates from the campus. All in all, I can't think of a more appealing place to be for four years of my life.

I live 5 hours away from Randolph College, but I have visited twice! I absolutely love it, and I would recommend it to anyone. I feel extremely safe in the environment and everyone is very nice. The faculty are also very involved in student-life to make sure you are living up to your potential!

It's a wonderful school with wonderful staff and professors. It's small everyone knows everyone. I was only there for a semester and move back home because my family wanted me to be closer. They give an ample amount of money for academic scholarships and grands. It's a private school located in Central Virginia. If your looking for small classes and professors who care this is the places for you.

It is a fantastic school for students who are looking at a small school to make instant friendships. It is full of wonderful opportunities for students to get involved in. With 17 NCAA sports, students come to the games to cheer on their team because everybody knows everybody here.

Randolph is an amazing college. If you're looking for small class sizes, happy faces, and teachers that are always there to help you then Randolph is the place for you! Just like any school the food does get old sometimes but that's one of the only cons. You can roll out of bed 5 minuets before class and still make it there on time!

If you are looking for a small school, Randolph College is the place to be! The campus is beautiful. and the professors are great. The staff is willing to work with you to get the things you need, whether that's moving a class to the ground floor because you've broken your leg, or a ride into the city to shop.

My overall opinion of Randolph College is that it is a great school. The students are like a family; they are all welcoming and friendly. They are there for each other and looking out for one another. The faculty is always trying to find ways to help the students not only in their college career but also with helping them with their future after college. They do not restrict us; they allow us to be who we are as people and express ourselves how we want. Randolph college is a community filled with great people that only want the best for each other. The college campus is not the only beautiful thing about Randolph, but also the faculty and students that make up Randolph College itself.

Randolph college is a really good college whether it be the size or the food or the safety. Even though the college may be small there are many benefits tot eh small college. It does not take long to get to your classes and you can find your classes easily. Since the class sizes are small you can get to know your fellow students and your teachers a lot better compared to having a giant class. The food is ok at dining hall. Even though the dining hall is only open at certain times of the day you can food throughout the day whether it be at do in hall or skellar. The safety of the college is very good. They make sure to patrol the ground all the time and if you need help and are afraid to walk around you can call security and they will come and help you. Overall the College is really good!!

i attended Randolph College from 2015, the longer i study here, the deeper i love here! this is small, but close-knitted community. in addition to the nice campus, good facilities, it is easier to access to professors and staff, and they are very nice. Don't think there are less opportunities to research and internship because of its small size, but actually it is just the opposite. I have participated a full- scholarship research in the just past summer. We also have a variety of after-class activities and clubs. Anyway, I bet you won't feel bored on campus!

Randolph College is an interesting place to be. For an individual that worries about being around lots of people and potentially getting lost, a school like this is great; commutes to class are breezy and class sizes are good sizes: my largest class was about 35 people and my smallest class was 5 people. The downside is that tuition is steady climbing to an IV league institution price, so that's something to think about. People are close-knit and from what I've seen it doesn't take long to find your group.
