<p>I am a lesbian student who will be starting Hollins University in the fall and I'd like to know what the queer community is like on campus, how'd you'd recomend meeting other girls who are gay and also any events at the school or in Roanoke that are gay related but do not involve alcohol (I don't drink and I don't like being around people who do.)</p>
<p>Also, because I have no idea where else to ask, anyone have stories about ghosts on Hollins' campus? I never got to do an overnight thingy (I live in MN, the school is in VA) so I never got to hear any. </p>
<p>Ghost stories on campus? Trust me, there are tons. Here’s just one: a girl was said to be in love with her piano professor but they could never be together. It’s said that she committed suicide in the music building (Presser, I think it’s called?). She cut her wrists and played one of the pianos until she died. Her ghost haunts the building still. Another: A girl killed herself in the Green Room in Main during a ball, I think it was. If you go in the room now when it’s crowded and you look in to the mirror in the back, you can see her.</p>
<p>The school’s said to be pretty haunted. There is a graveyard on campus where the founders and formed heads of the school are buried.</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t know about the queer community at Hollins.</p>
