The class of 2015 has arrived at Roanoke College.

But before they hit the books, students will hit some nails.

Right now, these are just piles of wood, but when it's all said and done they'll be transformed into a 2-story, 4-bedroom home as part of the college's "R house."

The project has this year's freshman class building a house for Habitat for Humanity.
