| Quite Bright | Here's the deal. It is all greek life. The student population is not diverse at all. There may be a total of 5 minorities in the whole school. One one hand, you have the in-state students that are typical Virginian's (redneck's that drink budweiser and talk about how the south will rise again). On the other hand, and this population is even worse, you have the prep school students. These people are either rich or try to act rich. They wear pink shorts, yellow polos, sandals in the middle of the winter, and have long hair sticking out of their hat that says nantucket on it. Basically, a bunch of clowns. The student population is not very intelligent. They consider a good time going to the same houses every week, just wearing different vineyard vines and pink lacoste shirts. As for the city of Salem and Roanoke, what a joke. There is absolutely nothing there unless you are part of Salem's local Klu Klux Klan chapter (meets about 2 minutes from campus). The faculty is not particulary impressive, and the school is waaayy overpriced. About half of the freshmen class leaves after the first year, and for a good reason. Don't waste your time or money on this snake oil. Unless you like to play dress up and pretend you are on Nantucket in December. | Faculty Accessibility: A-, Surrounding City: F |  | | |

Roanoke.college is a very interesting school. It has this image on the outside of being a great school that has awsome kids. I really like most of the people i have met here. The social life is really fun and the parties are great.
However if you like to drink beer do not come here as a freshman, the RA's are crazy. im the guy who parties once a month maybe but, i drink in the dorms and watch movies with my friends on most weekends. The problem is the RA's make it a game and try and ge you in trouble any chance they get. im about to get suspended for getting written up four times my freshman year. it's crazy ok so, here is a story, one saturday night in octobor around 11pm i was out with some friends away from my dorm. while i was gone the campus police pulled the fire alarm and had everyone leave the building. campu police then proceded to search every room in the building. I had a small amount of marijuana in my room. campus police found this and reported it to the real police. Basically i had to spend three nights in the Roanoke County jail for possession. Lastley this jail i went to is actually attachted to the school. campus police is basically insain here. MY ONLY ADVICE IS THAT IF YOU LIKE TO DRINK OR SMOKE ON EVEN AN OCCAISION DO NOT GO HERE!!!! | Campus Aesthetics: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: F |  | | |

| Quite Bright | Best experience ever! I had fallen in love with the college, but with my overall application process became overwhelmed and almost did not decide to go here, then it hit me that I was in LOVE with everything they had to offer form the research opportunities to the intensive learning term, its amazing!!!!!!!!! | Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: B+ |  | | |
