I was the student that said I would never go to a school like Radford, but as soon as I stepped foot on campus I knew it was the place I really wanted to call home for the next four years.

I am
accepted here and planning to attend soon
There are so many clubs, organizations, and things to do around the campus year-round. Also, you're about 20 minutes away from the mall and movies and all. If you say there's nothing to do here, then you obviously have been in your dorm all year!
