Roanoke College Top Questions

There is a lot of writing. Usually, we have 2 essays, an essay form midterm, and a final. Sometimes, we don't even have a midterm. There is a lot of pressure to do well on everything--if you mess up on one paper or exam it could cost you your grade.

The cost! It's a cute, small school with great professors and a beautiful campus and surrounding area. But...the price is a bit outrageous. You'll have fun while you're there, but once you start to pay back the loans you start to wonder if it was worth all that money.

We don't have our own football team and no availability of sports scholarships for the level we are at. I believe more athletics, especially football, would increase school pride and would increase competition for diverse applicants because the school would be more well known and ethnically diverse individuals, who tend to have lower grades, would be more likely to attend college where they can play sports and need good grades to play.

Not diverse. Very conservative and expensive (not worth the money). Students are apathetic.
