Student Voices
Laura Taylor
I really wanted to attend a small school, and I knew I really like the idea of having a relationship with my professors. From the start, Centre felt very accessible, both financially and academically, but a place where I knew I would be challenged.

I love that most students live on campus, it helps me stay busy and feel cared about. There always seems to be things going on around campus. I can walk around and find a club or organization hosting an event.
