Campus living is a significant part of the classic college experience. It always will be. So, the majority of students at Roanoke College live in residence halls.
First year and returning students live together in most of the residence halls. Stately fraternity and sorority houses are also located on campus where they house affiliates and friends of the organizations. With the exception of one all female hall, the halls are co-ed by alternating floor, room/suite, or wing.
With the opening of the new residence hall in fall 2012, there will be a total of 28 residence halls on campus, 6 of which will contain Greek housing.
