Before you buy anything: what is actually true at Roanoke College
A generic college checklist will cost you money here. These are Roanoke College’s own published room measurements and rules — check them before you order.
Room size and rugs
Rooms run from 80 sq ft (Yonce Hall) up to 272 sq ft (Chesapeake). At the small end a 4×6 rug is the largest that leaves walking room — measure before ordering anything bigger.
