Roanoke College (reviews)

In 1930, Roanoke became a mixed-sex education institute and some women enrolled in the school. Since then, the number of women enrolled has grown abundantly.

During the 1980s and 1990s the university had a remarkable growth, as over 150 million dollars was raised through campaigns. With that money, Roanoke was renovated and a great number of facilities were built, such as the library, the student centre, and the arts and performance centre.
