"What Roanoke College provided me was an umbrella and an opportunity. You have the umbrella that isolates you from reality; that is, the world outside. The college campus is the most magical place on earth because you get to create a reality of your own making, and it is molded and shaped by your professors, by your curriculum, and by the rules and regulations that you must live by. But beyond that, it's what a person makes of that freedom that molds his or her entire life."
–John McAfee '67, Developer of McAfee Virus Scan
