Joe

Centralia College offers great and exceptional classes at an affordable price to students. It is tucked in a small rural town with-in an hours drive of many different fun places to go. Student are great, professors are helpful and challenging. Overall, 5-star.

Lilah

Overall a decent community college. There's been a few teachers I didn't like but you'll find that anywhere. Protip, don't take Michael Threapleton's math class, most of the students there when I took it had to retake with a different teacher. I was Running Start so I don't know how the financial aid office is, or any of the regular advisors, but the Running Start advisor's really great.

Tempprince

I really enjoy Centralia College. I have been helped the entire way, through applying and deciding my classes. I am able to talk to my professors and advisers very easily. I know that there is someone in the office there to help whenever I need it. I feel a lot of support and commitment form the staff. The classroom environment is very welcoming and engaging. This college is a great school to start, they offer many great classes.

Rhian

I think it's a really great school and has wonderful programs. They have some state of the art facilities, awesome classes, and is very affordable. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to start out at a community college then transfer or even just earn their associates degree.

Centralia College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Centralia College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Centralia College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    The advice I would give myself if I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior would be to not hold back. Use the oppertunity of going to college to reach out and grab hold of all different types of oppurtunites. There is so very much to be offered at college and you really have to step out and reach for it. I would tell myself also to not lose sight of who you are and embrass it fully. Once you step out of that high school and onto the college campus it doesn't matter any more what you did in high school, it matters who you are. People aren't going to say to you "Oh you were a homecoming queen." or "You had a great game last night" You will no longer be what you do, but you will have the chance to be truley who you want to be and grown in that. The last thing I would tell myself is college isn't as easy has high school, you gotta work kid.

    The best part about my school is the layout. Everything is in walking distance and esy to get too. Also the entire staff is very nice and helpful; if you have a question they can't answer, they will direct you to someone who can. The overall mood of the whole place is nice, its like you have joined a family thats glad to help you and point you in the right direction. So I guess there are alot of things great out my school.

  10. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    Yikes! No one. This school accompanies ANYONE....it has a vast diversity....international students from around the world, and in my own classes so far I've met 16 year olds in Running Start, and 60+ year old men trying to get back into business for themselves. They even cater to Spanish only speaking people, holding orientations to help usher them into english classes and the workforce. All at this tiny, but well respected Community College in Centralia, WA. I would shudder at the thought of ANY public school not accompaning all types of people.
