Whether Commons is packed right now. Who's driving to Dulles on Friday. If the chicken is any good. Who else is in your nine o'clock. It's one board, and everyone on it is a confirmed Roanoke student.
Free, and only for @mail.roanoke.edu addresses.

Pulled from the college's own menu, the same as it is inside. Students rate the dishes, so you find out the pasta is a mistake before you carry it to a table.
Today's menu at Commons with calories and protein on every dish, ratings from students who actually ate it, and a live read on how busy the place is before you walk over. Tap dishes onto a plate and it adds up what you ate.
Post the seats you have or the seat you need — Dulles at 6am, home for fall break, the Kroger run. You sort out the details between yourselves; the board just finds you each other.
Textbooks, futons, mini fridges, concert tickets. Photos, a price, and a name attached to it, because it's a small campus and everyone knows who sold them a broken lamp.
Every event with the part that decides it — whether anyone you know is going. Add it to your calendar in one tap, and see who from your hall said yes.
Find people by hall, major or class year, and see who shares your sections so a study group is one message rather than an awkward week of guessing.
Reviews of teaching, pacing and workload written by students who took it. About the course, never about a person, and never anywhere near graded work.
Spotted is for compliments only. Posts can be anonymous and are read before they go up; replies always carry your name. It is not a gossip board and it is moderated like one that refuses to become one.
Everyone is a real student. An account only works once you've confirmed a @mail.roanoke.edu address, by link or by code. That's the whole reason the directory, the marketplace and the ride board can be trusted at all.
No money moves through it. The marketplace hands over an email address and stops. The ride board is a board — no dispatch, no payments, no insurance. Compliments on Spotted are read by a moderator before they appear, and replies always carry a real name.
It isn't the college. The Rock is a student project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Roanoke College, and it uses none of the college's logos or athletics marks. Course details are self-reported and never read from the registrar.
We dare to dream boldly.
Somebody put a stone on this campus without asking anyone, and it outlasted every permission it never got. Read the story.
