I probably would brag about the location, food and atmosphere. The staff and students here are really friendly. Just walking around the campus gives you a calming feeling because of the beautiful scenery. They serve different things every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also if you don't feel like being on campus all day, right down the street there are different food places, shopping stores and just places to hang out. The location is convenient so if you need something you can just walk down the street.

Roanoke College is such a small school that it's hard not to get close to anyone, let alone the professors and staff. The size really helps because you actually have the chance to meet with your professor one-on-one or after class and they actually remember your name! It makes it much easier to get help when you need it.

I think the best part about Roanoke College are the small classes. It allows you to really get to know the professors and students in the class. Also you can ask questions during the classes and you can always stop by to ask more questions during office hours.
