RU's SELU Conservancy is an impressive retreat center that offers 380 acres of natural beauty and charm. Located just seven miles from campus, it’s an “extended classroom” with its 4,000 square-foot modern facility equipped with meeting rooms and an observatory.

Visitors can gaze across the landscape at the overlook, use of one the facility’s canoes to float along Little River or hike along the abundant trails. Selu is a special place for students, faculty, staff and community groups to bring the environment and education together.

Fact: Nestled in the New River Valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains, an hour away from Roanoke and within a three to five hour drive to Richmond, Washington, D.C. and the beach, Radford University welcomes students from across the country and around the world.
