Nasty Nevin. I'm kidding, Nasty Nevin isn't really all that nasty. It's a freshmen guy's dorm that everyone makes fun of because... well I guess you'll just have to come here to understand. The worst thing about Centre is probably Cowan. Cowan is our cafeteria and whereas it is not bad, it just gets boring. Small campus = small kitchen so there isn't always the largest range of choices. But there are two cafe's on campus with simply amazing meal options for those days when you just don't want to deal with Cowan.

The fact that the professors are willing to go out of their way to find things to engage you in the material. I am terrible at Chemistry, and I had a professor that new that I was struggling, so he suggested different websites, books, and additional problems from the book to help me. Also, he met with me several times to explain the material more fully with me, even if it were at times that weren't his scheduled office visitation hours. He worked with me and my schedule to make sure I knew the material!

Read all 3 answers What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
I brag about my school's school spirit, exceptional level of academic ablility, excellent student-teacher ratio and good student-teacher relations. I also brag about how cool our president is and how rigorous Centre's work load. I also brag about how well prepared Centre helped me become for post-undergraduate studies.
I often also brag about how it is a common theme among students to do work and do it well. Slacking and not doing work isn't deemed cool. It's often frowned upon. Its not academic utopia, but its a great atmosphere for learning.
Read all 2 answers What are the academics like at your school?
Academics are extremely important. We have Fall and Spring semester, like many schools, but we also have CentreTerm, which is a two-week intensive semester following Christmas break. You take one class 5 days a week for 3 hours, and the subjects range from the Art of Gambling to Philosophy Through Film. Some include the ever-rare field trips. CentreTerm is also a great GPA booster because Centre classes are difficult.

There is not tuition-lock in place and scholarships do not increase with the increase in the comprehensive tuition fee. By the time I graduate, tutition will have increased just over $8,000. That is a lot for a middle class family still paying a mortgage. Although the schools boasts about their financial-aid packages, they do not provide proper financial assistance.
