I have learned to write better, to be more tolerant of others, and how to study and take tests better. I also have learned to not procrastinate.

I love Randolph! I have met (and still meet) amazing people from all over the world. The classes are small and you can create a personal (that's appropriate) relationship with professors.

It's a bit expensive, but the experience you get at Randolph College is worth it.

Randolph is a great college. It lets you make your own decisions while creating an environment that's unique from any other college. DON'T PROCRASTINATE! If you get all your work done, you can use the rest of your time having fun.

Students that are tolerant of other's differences, and make good decisions. Those that like to have fun, but that are safe and respectful.

Randolph College is very rigorous, but enjoyable. You always feel like you are at home. It's very welcoming, but people give you the space you need.

Come prepared. Don't show up thinking you can fly by. Faculty will push you pretty hard, but they will also help you. And try to be nice to everyone, it'll make life here easier on you.

Randolph is VERY demanding. It's very hard to just show up thinking you can do a couple of the readings and never show up to class. Their programs are some of the hardest ones I've been in.

Dorm life is pretty simple. Like most dorms. You have one room with two to three roommates (usually two) and one-three communal bathrooms for the entire halls use. The camaraderie between you and your hall mates...well, depends on how open and willing you are to get to know them. And vice versa.

Some days it's not at it's best, but for food that you get to eat everyday three times a day, it's not that bad. Oh, and take advantage of the meal plans. It'll be worth it.

And late night dining is great.

Hanging with friends, at parties. Go to art galleries downtown. A shuttle runs on the weekends (for students who don't have cars) to take you to shopping centers.

Rivermont Pizza (the best pizza place and bar in town) is literally right next door. Hit it up when you get the chance.

Lots of secret societies, that you won't learn about at all. Unless inducted or people spill and tell you. Lots of class related traditions, such as Ring Week and Pumpkin Parade. Stuff like that.

The Dell is probably the coolest location on campus. It's used for Greek Play every other year. It's also used as concert spaces (for like big end of the year parties) and just places to have fun.

Randolph focuses a lot on these two main things: Academia and Sports (like most colleges, I know). So, if you are big into one or the other, or both. This is the place for you.

Oh, and the slogan Be and Original. If you're and original as they so claim, Randolph is for you.

HUGE HUGE list of clubs and activities. Too many to name. MAC (Macon Activities Council) who run most of the parties and dances and stuff. All kinds of departmental clubs, like French Club, Environmental Club, etc.

We don't have Greek Life here.

Replaced it with secret societies, probably.

Top notch. You don't have to worry.

Randolph College is a wonderful institution. This college offers many diverse opportunities for a brighter future. Though rigorous with workload Randolph College offers many social clubs and activities to stay busy.

Randolph is different from many other Colleges. Located in Lynchburg, VA, giving the college a towny perspective, lets the students attend off campus activities without needing major transportation.
There are many athletic and nonathletic clubs and organizations that Randolph offers. The transition from high school to Randolph College is a major one, considering coarse load and possibly living off campus. Attending Randolph College is an experience of a lifetime.

Randolph, though a small school has a very competitive academic stance. Transitioning from a blue ribbon high school to Randolph College lead me to believe that the transition was going to be simple and I would easily pass all of my classes. This is the exact opposite, Randolph has one of the most academically challenging yet amazing programs around. The teachers are very helpful and always willing to help their students succeed.

There is no off campus living at Randolph College but the dorm life is very pleasant. Bell one of the larger dorms just got renovated and is beautiful! The dorms are mostly co-ed and really offer students to meet fellow piers and make friendships and bonds with one another.

Randolph dining is just like any other school. There is a personal chef that prepared different meal options per day. There is a fresh fruit stand, a full salad bar, most always various types of protein and veggies. Various different flavors of ice cream and soft serve and a whole lot more!

There are many different activities to participate in at Randolph College. One can go to sporting events, one can go to MAC events which are school sponsored events such as DJ dances, formals and such.
There are many beautiful mountains that are only minutes from campus. Lynchburg is filled with many little boutiques for shopping. And then of course there is the nightlife where friends meet up and hang out at night.

Randolph is a community like no other. Going to this College will help one mature to the levels that they need for the 'real world' and help one academically succeed. Randolph has been rated number one in the country for professors meaning that the professors care about each and every student and want them to succeed to their greatest potential.

Randolph College is filled with history and traditions! There are many different spirit groups, Evens vs. Odds (Class of 2013 is odd while class 2014 is even and so on) which are friendly rivalries between the classes. Randolph College has amazing history since it went from being an all women's college to now co-ed.

Randolph College is honestly great for everyone and anyone. There are wonderful athletic programs, art, music, dance, educational etc. You name it they have it! Everyone is accepted here and it is a really nice feeling to be friends with everyone on campus.

The clubs offered at Randolph College are amazing! There are so many whether academic, athletic, social, or educational. Randolph College puts a great deal of effort and commitment towards making these clubs enjoyable and lasting.

There is not greek life on campus but that does not effect this school one bit! The clubs and activities help provide a sisterly and brotherly bond between piers like a sorority or fraternity would.

Randolph College has an extremely safe campus. There is security all over campus but also an honor code system that everyone at this college takes extremely serious.

Weigh all your options n consider many factors when deciding where you'd like to attend such as the environment, the atmosphere, the professors, and the class sizes.

The work is a lot, but is manageable as well. You are prepared very well for what you plan on doing in the future.

Beautiful dorms.

New student center was just built and has many features including varieties of food for your liking.

biking, hiking, intramural sports, the list is endless.

Undoubtedly. Private, liberal arts based. There's no question.

Creative and exploring.

intramural sports, design, theater, etc

top notch

Randolph College is for independent thinkers who are ready to learn. Randolph is a small family that focuses on academics and community. I know that I belong at Randolph College.

-be sure you want to be at a small school
-try new things
-don't be afraid to meet new people
-do your homework and go to class

Randolph is an academic school that prides itself on its intelligent and open minded students who aren't afraid of intellectual challenges.

I live on the 5th floor of a dorm with no elevator, which is a pain. But renovations are promised, and all of the dorms have spacious rooms.

There is one dining hall, one coffee/pastry shop and The Skellar, which offers food when the Dining Hall isn't open.

-hang out with your friends
-go to MAC events
-go to the movies
-go to the mall
-attend the dances (there is at least one each month)

Randolph College is expensive, without a doubt. But here your professors will know your name, the President will be your friend and people will care about your experience.

Traditions:
-Evens vs. Odds (determined by your class year)

-original
-academically based
-open minded
-friendly

I'm a member of the Macon Activities Council and the First Year Board (student government at the freshman level).

NONE

I know the security guards.
There are poles throughout campus with buttons that can be pressed if you are in an emergency, and a security guard will come to your aid.

It's nice to be able to pick all of the classes you want to take. As a first year, it's definitely a nice thing. The atmosphere of the school gives you all of the tools you need to succeed.

Everyone I have met is friendly. The traditions make everything so much more fun. There is always something to do and to jump into.

It's expensive, but it will take you where you want to go.
