Location
The Glebe offers the ideal location and environment for continuing your active lifestyle. Revel in the Roanoke Valley’s exceptional cultural events, its fine arts and theatre, and its historic heritage – all within a short drive from campus. Savor the beauty of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains during a quiet moment from your own porch or patio.
Roanoke’s historic downtown features the oldest continually-operated farmer’s market in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the prestigious Taubman Museum of Art among other galleries and museums, and plays host to a variety of festivals and events throughout the year. There are also ample opportunities for volunteering your talents in area schools, churches, and hospitals, and lifelong learning possibilities through local art galleries, museums, and the Roanoke Higher Education Center.
Two 18-hole golf courses are located minutes from campus, as well as the 147-acre Botetourt Center at Greenfield, a recreational park with a 12-acre lake, baseball/softball stadium, soccer complex, picnic areas, and scenic trails and walkways throughout.
Outdoor adventurists may choose to hike the nearby Appalachian Trail or kayak the historic James River with several local launch sites. For bike enthusiasts, the Blue Ridge Bicycle Club, more than 350-members strong, offers scheduled recreational rides most week days—and welcomes non-members.
