However, today, I figured it\u2019d be good to have a relaxing reflection on the place that we all share: the Roanoke College campus. While there are endless possibilities when discussing our respective loves with the campus, here are just a few questions given to some campus residents that capture the grandeur of being able to exist on such beautiful college grounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your favorite place to hang out on campus outside, and why? \u201cEven as someone who isn\u2019t spending a lot of time outside, the Sutton Terrace outside Cav is very nice. The umbrellas are good for shade, and when it&#8217;s nice out, the view of the mountains is incredible. Also, those chairs that face the mountains are super comfy to sit in.\u201d &#8211; Jenna Thompson (Class of \u201827)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your favorite academic building and why? \u201cPerhaps this comes with some bias due to my major and where most of my classes have been, but I believe Miller is my favorite. The professors there are quite wonderful, it&#8217;s very small and has very good lounge areas that are centered as opposed to the layout of other Halls.\u201d &#8211; Alexander Fritze (Class of \u201826)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your favorite activity to do in the game room, and why? \u201cPing-pong, easily. Last semester I tried out the tournament but that didn\u2019t go so well for me. I wasn\u2019t able to make it to this recent one, but the next one I\u2019ll be ready. I even have my own personal paddle that I use to destroy my enemies, and I\u2019ll use it for the next tournament.\u201d &#8211; Michael \u201cPing-pong master\u201d Foley (Class of \u201829)<\/p>\n<p><\/span>Vance Redd<\/p>\n<p>Staff Reporter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last publication, we saw maroons talking about the world abroad and the wonders they\u2019d like to see or even have seen.
