Centenary is honestly the place to be! People (professors, friends, faculty, etc.) care about you. It is some work but that is expected out of a college. With Centenary you get what you give.

I am transferring if that puts in in perspective. The caf is terrible all around the dorms are old are everything breaks. Its very small so you might not find friends easily. The only good thing is you will probably get a pretty education.
