In financial trouble.

My colleagues son went there. He did well with the small classes and down to earth students. Pretty campus from her photos.

Isn’t Roanoke College and the area nicer than the state schools you listed? Why would a state school be better?

So true, who would choose state schools (yuck) like UVA and William and Mary over private schools (elite) like Hollins and Mary Baldwin! State schools are so icky!

Why is Longwood, MW or CNU better than Roanoke?

That may depend on your income. The kids I know at Roanoke have a combination of financial aid and merit aid that makes it cheaper than the schools you mention. If your income is high, or your kid is near the bottom of the stats they accept, that may not be true for you.

The kids I know there are having a good experience.

Why does any of this matter?

Never heard of it.

I’ve heard of it but have never met anyone here in NOVA who attended. Seems pretty, though

Why is this college never discussed on here?
