DANVILLE, KY—For every high school student, a campus visit is key to making the right college decision, and time spent on Centre’s extraordinary 150-acre campus is interesting, educational and fun. That’s why the College’s office of admission is hosting two special July admission events:

July 17         Summer at CENTRE I Register
July 31        Summer at CENTRE I Register

The campus visit may well be the most important part of a student's decision process. Register online for one of these special admission events, or schedule a visit any weekday throughout the summer by calling the office of admission at 1-800-423-6236.

A few things to keep in mind when planning a visit:

• Count on being here at least a half day—it's best to arrive in the early morning or early afternoon.

• Dress comfortably—your interviews will be informal, so you can wear what you normally wear to school.

• You can visit with your parents or alone, but we do, of course, encourage parents to come for the visit.
