My daughter visited Roanoke a couple months ago and was very impressed. She was offered their top merit scholarship and received an invitation to interview for the Fellows Program (a paid research position). She really like the campus and the people she met. Just wondering if anyone there could share their experience with the school. Especially the Honors Program and Fellows Program. She must choose between the two and is not sure about the merits of each. Thanks!
I can’t speak to either program, but my D submitted her deposit a few weeks ago. She loved the school from the moment she stepped on campus, and went back for an overnight that sealed the deal. ALL the feedback I’ve heard from others has been nothing but positive. Maybe @123France can provide some more insight?
Hi, yes, my son is a junior business/computer science major at Roanoke. We live in NJ. He is not in the Honors Program and I have not heard of the Fellows Program, so I cannot speak to either of these programs. My son has done very well at Roanoke and loves the environment. He is quiet and not into the party scene but has found a nice group of friends. He finds the academics challenging enough and is involved in various clubs. Roanoke has a very dedicated alumni base who are passionate about the college. My son was in a mentoring program last year that paired him with someone in the community who worked in IT. He really found the experience useful. The campus is beautiful.
@Freebie73, The Fellows Program sounds very interesting. Perhaps you could call Roanoke and ask to speak to a current student who is in the program. The same for the Honors program. Best wishes to your daughter!
My daughter was just accepted into the Roanoke honors program. Anyone out there who can share their experience of the Honors College at Roanoke?
How does she like the Honors program? A lot of work? My D just submitted her app for Roanoke and is in the process of applying to Honors program. If she attends, she will be on the soccer team so hoping Honors won’t be too much of a load.
@Freebie73 Did your daughter end up choosing Roanoke? My D just submitter her honors application. Not much about Roanoke on these forums.
My daughter ended up at the University of South Carolina Honors College.
