Roanoke College is a place for any ethnicity or background. However, it is important that you realize most professors will not allow you to miss more than three days without penalty. It does not matter what your excuse is for missing. While this may sound rather strict, you must also keep in mind that you are in college to learn, not party and sleep late.
