There certainly are experiences every college student should have before they leave; things like going on a road-trip with friends, acing a test you stayed up all night to study for, and actually making it to graduation. We live in one of the prettiest places in the United States, though, and have some uniqueness to us. Thus, there are some experiences that are necessary to live life at Roanoke College to the fullest. So, here are the 20 things every Roanoke student needs to do before President Maxey gives them their good ol’ cardboard tube (thank you to everyone on Facebook who submitted suggestions for this list!).
