    This college does not care about its students; from mushrooms growing out of showers to the ceiling…read morefalling in the middle of Main Hall, it is not maintained at all. Do not get me started on the dining experience here at Randolph College. In the past three years alone the quality and variety of the food has dropped tremendously. Students get excited when the food is fully cooked or not rotting in its place; at best the food is unappetizing and at worst it has sent students to the hospital. To alleviate the pressure on Skeller (the other dining option aside from Cheatham Dining Hall) they removed most of the options and raised all the prices so that students are forced to eat at the dining hall or starve. The professors are on average decent, at worst cooky and unorganized, but most are decent with decent classes that prepare students for their fields. Student life is ok, but worsening due to the surplus of underclassmen and lack of facilities to suit them. Local churches have begun to open their parking lots because there isn't enough room for all the students and staff to park. Freshmen are also being stacked into dorm rooms like sardine, with a few freshmen sharing a double with three people. Meanwhile, the science building is getting renovated instead of the condemned dorm hall-which is where they are moving the offices of the science professors. The rules about who is allowed to be a commuter and who is forced to live in the dingy housing (that comes with the expensive for what dining plan) are ridiculous. I have had friend who literally got married to save the money they were wasting on noisy neighbors and starving nights.

    I went to this college back when it was Randolph-Macon Woman's college. It took everything out of…read moreme not to transfer. I've never experienced racism more in my entire life, than at this "liberal" college. From an admissions counselor asking me to speak to a white Puerto Rican from the island, assuming we had a lot in common, even though I'm a brown Puerto Rican from NYC, three generations removed, and can't speak Spanish, to a professor arguing with me telling me I'm black, when most Latinos are mixed with natives and Europeans. This is just the administration, this doesn't include the countless racist encounters with my small minded, small town peers. The white kids hang out with the white kids, the blacks with the blacks and everyone else from other countries are grouped together, because among most of the whites there is still fear and intolerance. This place is far from woke and is under the guise of white liberal savior.
