Roanoke College

At Roanoke you'll find well-appointed residence halls with lots of amenities: digital cable and WiFi in every room, lounge space, study rooms, laundry and kitchens. Most dorms are just a short walk from academic buildings, athletic facilities and the library.

Our food is great, too, with an extensive, ever-changing buffet served continuously in the Sutton Commons, plus a selection of "grab and go" favorites in the Cavern, Fruitions and Rooney's Brews. Want a change of pace?  There are fun places to eat a few blocks away in Salem, or just a short drive away in downtown Roanoke.

The Fintel Library is the intellectual center of Roanoke College. Its impressive collection of books, journals, media and archival resources, access to myriad electronic resources, and contemporary facilities create the perfect environment for you to read, study, explore, develop ideas, gather data and conduct research.

Security of the campus network is the primary concern of the Wi-Fi infrastructure. Roanoke College uses the Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) standard to ensure all data transferred is secure from your computer to our servers. In addition, the network also requires authentication with a Roanoke College username and password, preventing outsiders from accessing the college network.

Our experienced staff members provide quality, confidential and compassionate health care to the students of Roanoke College. Roanoke College Student Health & Counseling Services is nurse-directed, operating under the direct medical supervision of a local doctor. Our team is skilled in the assessment and treatment of health issues of college students.
