What Students Are Saying

Very hard classes but they will push you to maximum potential. The teachers are very nice and understanding. They are willing to help if you don't understand the problem. If you still don't understand it, the tutoring center is superb. They are very helpful and by the time you leave there, you will know the material.
Ryan from Roanoke, VA
Depending on you departmental major, academics can be very challenging. The most challenging academics are in the science department, just because of the required labs, and in the honors program, because of the many requirements. Many of the other majors, such as the fine arts and liberal arts, aren't as challenging because they don't have as many requirements. All classwork is doable as long as you create the time to succeed.
Rachel from Salem, VA
Classes are challenging, but teachers make it easy to catch up. They want you to pass, however you definitely have to try.

I am learning so much from Roanoke. The teachers are amazing and are very interested in what they teach, which in turn makes the students more interested in learning. I feel that I am really getting a top-notch education that is going to help further my education and career.

You will have a good amount of homework depending on the classes you take but not to the point where your weekends are going to be taken up by you doing homework
