    Am learning a lot

    In our lab classes, we get a lot of hands on experiences because we are next to a hospital. Some professors keep the class flowing especially in long lecture classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    Since Jefferson is so small, everyone seems to know everybody. All my professors seem to greet me outside of the classroom. The residental hall bunch is a very close group of people. Each floor has their closeness. Everyone seems to have their door open!
    Bang for the buck

    Your getting your moneys worth going to Jefferson except if you do live in the residential hall because of the condition of the building. The Reid building is very old, I think it's time for a new residential hall building.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone interested in health care!

    Overall school is small with small classes. School does not have a large dorm life and is mostly located within one building. Everything is hands on and piratical.
    Tips for prospective students

    Great school if you know what field you what health field you want to go into.
    Academic Rigor

    Classes in major can be tough. Other classes can be easy, hands on, and enjoyable.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are currently in an apartment like building down the street from the college. Many students stay off-campus and drive to class from many locations.
    Food and Dining

    Only one cafeteria type dinning area.
    What to do for fun

    Some clubs and get together sports and activities are provided each semester. Information is sent via email.

    The dog house is a place to eat, study, or hang out with other students.

    a good school but the teachers/ professors really don't care about you. expect to be thrown into situations where you might wind up getting screwed/ not knowing. just be sure you pay attention to every detail from day 1 when you get there; it's kind of like the first day of basic for those in the armed forces.
    Tips for prospective students

    pay attention to every detail from day 1, again. you will easily get accepted. be prepared for them to think they own your life! they truly believe that their school is more important than your life. just be ready for that.
    Academic Rigor

    it all depends on your major and what you put into it. i thought it was harder than the state school i transferred from.
    Dorm Life

    the people you'll live with will be awesome but the conditions suck! recently however they have moved from the original building and are now in a remodeled hotel. i'd imagine its better than it was.
    Food and Dining

    there is really no food or dining hall. there is a cafe style lunch area but that is about it.
    What to do for fun

    roanoke really doesn't have very much to do weather you are 18 or 21+. again you'll have fun with the people who live on your hall but that is pretty much it.
    Bang for the buck

    for how much this school has set me back it is entirely not worth it. just the unprofessional manor in which you are treated pretty much for 4 years
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    none of the people who deal with/ manage your academic career seem to have your best interest at heart. it's just frustrating when it seems that no one is there to help. this all depends what your major is tho, the respiratory therapy track is apparently the most student friendly, where as rn is the hardest and least friendly.
    Great for these types of students

    attentive to detail and know the book smarts of their profession.
    Clubs and Activities

    a good about unless you are in the paramedic track/ emergency services.
    Greek Life

    none!
    Campus Safety

    average.

    Did learn a lot

    All the instructors are very excited about what they teach and do not seem to be burnt-out. If you attend classes regularly and continually study, this is a good learning experience for healthcare students. There are high-tech laboratories for the science classes that are usually open to students for extra lab time.
    Did enjoy being here

    The classroom experience has been wonderful and the instructors are animated in their classes. Due to the small college atmosphere, instructors are willing to help more with any questions. However, there are not many activities that are offered on campus, residence hall, etc. so students cannot get involved very easily. Not a very welcoming atmosphere for some of the newer students....
    Bang for the buck

    Due to the school being a private, not public school, the costs are very high, ranging from tuition, residence hall, textbook fees, uniform fees, etc. Plan ahead of time and apply for scholarships and grants!
