Student Author OverviewWhat'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.

Off-Campus Dining at Centre College

Not Much

There are enough fast food restaurants but there is not a lot of variety. If you do not have a car, restaurants near campus are few and far between.

I Would Choose Centre Again, Again, and Again!

I knew I couldn't go to a large school and Centre fit almost perfectly my idea of an ideal college; and it still does. Life here is what you make it to be. There are many students who have fun going to the frat houses regularly and others who rather stay in their rooms with some friends and watch movies. The one thing every student on campus has in common is that they are good, respnsible, down-to-earth people who care about academics and their futures.

I did think it is kind of funny that I didn't see anyone walking around campus in their pajamas until exam week.

In class, I have enjoyed how professors incorporate their experiences into the class topics. For example, my humanities professor translated one of the books we read in class. So she was able to get our class to think about wordchoice and interpretation when translating a work. In addition, many of the pictures we looked at in class, my professor had taken recently when she took some students to Greece.

My two favorite experiences out of class have been being on the golf team and attending many of the performances. The golf team has become my second family. I know many students at Centre participate in varsity and intramural sports, but there are actually a lot of activities to do outside of athletics and you don't even have to be a member of the club or organization to participate. Also, I'm not very familiar with famous musicians and entertainers, but I certainly am learning with all the shows at the Norton Center! It may not be big names like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra or Chloris Leachman coming every week, but all the shows have been amazing! I've attended many of them, and why not when they're free!
