W&L vs Roanoke

[Anonymous]

Is there a difference? Roanoke merit makes it cheaper than a state school.

This is like saying UVA vs GMU or W&M vs UMW... get a grip

If you have to ask....

Ridiculous post/ question.

W&L is a well known LAC with excellent teaching and insanely loyal alum networks. Roanoke is a regional LAC.

If money is really a factor, then I'd look long and hard at Roanoke and seeing if you can make it work. Successful people have come out of Roanoke. But W&L really is that much higher ranked and opens that many more doors so it can't be discounted either.

Also consider what your child wants to do in college. If he or she is interested in going into business or law or consulting afterwards, W&L hands down due to alum networking and ease of getting better internships leading to analyst roles. The name on resumes opens more doors. If child is more interested in going to med school or a master's in whatever, maybe save the money and go to Roanoke and be at the top of the class.

Roanoke is nationally ranked just like W&L and we heard they have a similar vibe. Are the students similar socially? Is there really evidence that W&L grads get better jobs?

the data published by the colleges is the evidence. W&L is several leagues above Roanoke.

Why does any of this matter for a high stat kid that would be successful at either college?

I hate to summon the bucknell boosters, but W&L actually places on the Street. Roanoke doesn’t. The best Roanoke College grad is probably going to Advance Auto corporate to do FP&A.

If one has the academic profile to possibly get admitted to W&L, Roanoke shouldn't even be in the conversation.

A troll post, OP is just ignorant, or both.
