Information for Future Residents
Welcome to Roanoke College Residence Life & Housing!
The Residence Life & Housing staff would like to welcome you to the residence hall community at Roanoke College! Our goal is to make your residence hall living experience a significant and positive part of your college life and beyond. You will find the campus living environment to be an integral part of your experience and a valuable complement to your classroom activities. As a residential student you will have numerous opportunities to interact with other students, faculty, and staff and to enhance your social and interpersonal growth through shared living and learning experiences.
Steps for Residential Students to Select Housing:
- Sign your housing agreement in the housing portal
You'll need your student ID number to complete this step. - Complete your housing profile (available mid-April) & Communicate with potential roommates
Are you a morning person? Do you work late studying? Do you like your room to be neat and organized? Complete your housing profile to help future roommates learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle habits. You can send messages to potential roommates through the housing portal or many students hop to social media. If you find a roommate match, you can create a group for easier housing sign ups. - Select your building and room (available early July)
After the summer orientation sessions have ended, those that signed their housing agreement and based upon the date your deposit was received, you will be assigned a date and time to go into the housing portal to select your building and room!
In the meantime, you should familiarize yourself with the content of these webpages for information that will help make your transition to campus living a smooth one. We strive to make every student's experience as satisfying as possible. We understand that moving to a new community will require an adjustment and we are here to help you be successful! Please let us know if you have questions or suggestions. We can be reached at reslife@roanoke.edu or 540-375-2308. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Sincerely,
Residence Life & Housing Staff
