Roanoke College has truly set a high standard for offering a diverse and inclusive range of food options to cater to their students. Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, have celiac disease, or follow any other dietary restrictions, you’ll find their dining services accommodating and thoughtful.

Unfortunately, the student population here at Roanoke College seems to be dropping like flies as we enter the peak of cold and flu season. I, along with pretty much the entirety of my friend group, was bedridden for most of last week due to contracting the flu. Thankfully, I’m mostly recovered now! There are a…
Walking out of my room on the second floor of Bartlett to a crowd of people was a shock last October. I probably should have turned around and returned to my room after seeing all the people in the tight hallway. Across from the water fountain was my RA’s room where all the people were…

Studying abroad is an experience that transcends the traditional classroom setting, offering students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in new cultures, environments, and academic challenges. As a student at Roanoke College preparing to study abroad in Costa Rica next semester, I am eagerly anticipating this next academic journey! One of the most exciting aspects…
