How do I mail letters to my daughter?
All residential students are required to have a box on campus. Your daughter will receive her box number via email approximately one month before arriving on campus. The information will also be given out again at check-in.
Addressing mail to a box.
Daughter’s Name
7916 Williamson Road
Box #
Roanoke, VA 24020
Do not address U.S. mail with your daughter’s room number because it could be returned to sender. Please make sure to use your daughter’s name as registered with the university (first and last), as nicknames will not be in the mailbox system and mail could be returned to sender.
