It has been a great opportunity for me to grow and to learn so much more about our community here in the area. I have lived here for more than half of my life and I would not have learned so much in such a short amount of time here had I chosen to go anywhere else. It is extremely inviting and welcoming. I don't mean just the environment, but the people all around. People are willing to go to great lengths to help you out and support you--inside and outside of the classroom. This especially means professors. They are very much involved with student activity and with the ins and outs of student organizations around campus. They are great to work with, from my experiences thus far. It's the perfect scene for a homebody. It's comfortable and right near most places that you'd need to get to--either within walking distance or a short drive. It is definitely a place to get connected with and it has certainly become a second home to me. There have been hiccups of course, but thankfully, because of the push forward with diversity and inclusion, it has become a safe space for everyone around. And, if they are not, those issues are addressed. I have found so many secret amazing places around this campus. It is a decently sized campus but everything is close to a maybe 5-10 minute or less walk, depending on where you're going. They only downside to this campus is the layout flaws, since it is older than most campuses, it has not yet been completely set up for disabled access. Some places make no sense as to why they were built that way, so in the place where there are no elevators, stairs are how you get around as well. I've had some troubles with the school, but it is relatively easy to work with everyone.

I think it’s an awesome place to start your future. The academic side is very challenging and pushes you to be the best student you can be. The students there are very nice and helpful. I enjoy that all of the buildings are connected and it is easy to get around. Over all Randolph is an awesome school!

Shae - 07/02/2019

It's a great school to be at, but there could definitely be some improvements.

Victoria - 05/30/2019

I feel like I should lead with the fact that after only a year here, I was already calling Randolph home. The professors are phenomenal and I love going to classes every day. My peers provide a lovely community of like-minded, caring individuals that only add to the sense of home. The really beloved and unique thing about Randolph is the Honor Code which creates a trust and feeling of safety like I have never experienced before.

  6. What's unique about your campus?

    I love the strong connections professors and students have between them. Classes are rarely more than a dozen people, thus allowing for free flowing disucssion based classes. Students hold true to the honor code which enables us to have self scheduled/self proctored exams, unlocked dorm rooms, open mail boxes, and a sense of trust that everyone will take care of each other. Furthermore, the appearance of the campus surpasses even what the word beautiful describes. I consider it my new home and all those who live their my extended family.

  9. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    Randolph College isn't right for a prospective student who just wants to party in a big city or not attend class. If a student isn't comfortable with a very small student population, where everybody knows everybody else, then it isn't the right place for them. Students need to study hard and go to class, not because they are afraid of getting a bad grade, but because they know the professors personally and the student does not want to let them down.

  12. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    In my experience, the worst thing about Randolph-Macon Woman's College was the flip-side to being a small college with personal attention from professors. With only two Classics professors, there were a limited number of courses available, some only available every other year. The faculty also noted this issue. As a result, the Classics professors reorganized the major program and created a new accademic schedule that allows them to teach more varied courses. They also took into account the students' need of writing longer papers before the thirty page thesis due at the end of the senior year.
