Cool Things to Do!

I think what sets Centenary apart from other schools is just the fact that it's a private school. There's cool activities that other schools probably wouldn't get to do. I definitely enjoy going to CAB events, those are always fun and other activities that people put on, the things that people do here are totally awesome.

Oh...Sodexo.

The food here would be better if the cafeteria people would learn how to cook things right. I don't want to have to eat a burger every single time I come in to the caf. The cakes are ALWAYS dry. I find that the only good options are the unhealthy foods. Sometimes the lettuce tastes like pesticides. On the weekend the food is just...terrible. Centenary needs to get their food together because I'm paying $2000 for crap.

There's Not Much Crime Ever.

There's hardly ever any crime around here, just maybe like a burglary and some suspicious characters roaming about the school but nothing to get deathly scared over. DPS sends email's about crime updates and everything, and they'll text everyone in the school to let everyone know what's happening.
