Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Centre sells itself as an all-around environment; being more than just an academic powerhouse, the school promotes self-growth through service and community involvement. The progression from freshman to senior can seem like just the change of another four years, but Centre’s influence over the students is obvious. Centre graduates emerge as well-rounded leaders, activists, and the prominent who’s who of their generation. While the College experience is something few would trade, Centre’s best asset is the post-graduation benefits of the Centre Mafia of alumni that help graduates score hot jobs.

As far as the overall experience, it’s amazing. Merging a great social scene with academics yields rounded individuals who are smart and fun. Centre is a place that takes away all the boring parts of high school but keeps all the spirit and fun. At Centre, each day is a healthy combination of work and play. Centre C is a few hours of class and homework blended with living with or next to your best friends, that hot crush, and your professors. Centre offers a remarkable experience for the whole person. It’s life changing because years after graduation, you’ll still keep in touch with your old professors, attend all the Centre events with other alumni in your neighborhood, vacation once a year with your sorority or fraternity friends, return for every Homecoming, and donate back to the College. The experience of Centre College is one that you’ll appreciate, at least a little, every day, and each year is a little sadder because it’s one year less you will have lived within a community of endless support and lifetime friends. It’s the priceless experience.

Financial Aid at Centre

I received a decent amount of financial aid even if the process was a little difficult my first year. Regular meetings at the finance office helped a lot.

Dorm Life

Freshman dorms leave much to be desired but that is slowly changing. New housing options are becoming available for upperclassmen leaving the better dorms available for freshmen. The cost is not unreasonable and the buildings are well situation on campus. The social atmosphere is wonderful.

Great in All Aspects

Centre College is amazing. Class sizes are relatively small and professors are dedicated to their subjects. The Biology major is great. There are tons of opportunities for internships that do not clash with the rest of your course work.
