My CENTRE Life videos complement updated entries

RELEASED: October 23, 2008

DANVILLE, KY—Several weeks have passed since the six first-year students of My CENTRE Life landed on campus, and they've already become well acclimated to the rigorous lifestyle of being a college student. As Brian puts it, "I’ve learned that time management is essential at Centre; once this concept is fully grasped, classes continue to be just as hard as they were before...there's just a greater sense of acceptance."

Though the coursework occasionally becomes overwhelming, all six students couldn't have better things to say about their experience thus far. Tess, who's impressed by the whole atmosphere of Centre, says, "One unexpected twist: college is hard. It’s a lot of work. Stress has been incorporated into my everyday routine. But aside from the endless assignments—and maybe even including them—I’m having a blast. I’m having more fun than I’ve ever had before. "

And perhaps the most enlightening entry this week comes from Patrick, who lays out the 5 Stages of College Laundry. It turns out there's more than class on the minds of these first-year students.
