The students of Roanoke are from all over the place, but the majority of students (and the most vocal) are from the Northeast. Many graduated from boarding schools and were too stupid or lazy to get into an Ivy League, so they decided to attend a school which costs about the same as an Ivy, but is fairly crappy.

As a result, most of the students are rude, egotistical, snobby, and selfish. Social life revolves around Greek life entirely. Students are obsessed with cliques, to the point that certain tables in the cafeteria are known as belonging to certain groups, especially of sorawwwrity and frat groups. Students involved in Greek life are strongly discouraged from interacting with the "normal" people. Alcohol poisoning is extremely common.The college administration is exceedingly deceitful, unhelpful, and conniving. The offices of the deans will do whatever necessary to cover up a mistake made by a faculty or staff member, or to cover up a scandal. The school's only priority is to fake its way to a reputation as an ideal school and get as much money as possible- student welfare is the absolute last thing on the administration's collective evil mind.

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. They even have themed nights such as ?beach blast? where they have shrimp, king crab legs, and steak. It?s awesome. 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.
Education Quality: A+,

Roanoke College seems to be for rich children who couldn't make it at other schools or were tricked into coming here. The students have no social graces and act more like high school students who have recently become popular. Don't expect to make true or meaningful friendships here nor to have any intellectual discussions. Check out the rate of failed personal relationships of alumni.
