Good reviews

Great school being very small obviously has certain restrictions though. The campus is beautiful and the surrouding area is filled with breath taking views especially during the fall. Great people and professors overall.

Centenary is perfect for me! I love the small class sizes which makes the education more personalized. As an animal health major, I love the personalization and hands-on experiences. I especially enjoy having access to veterinary observation hours. Overall, Centenary is a tight knit community with lots to offer.

The social work program is the best! It is NOT easy, but you will be prepared to enter the field when you graduate. They set up your internship with people that have the time to train you.

Writing my review from the perspective of an equine student. If you want to work in the equine industry but are not sure how exactly or where to get started this is a fantastic place! Professors have so many connections and will help you find where you fit and continue after graduation! I am so glad I studied equine studies here, no place better!

The school is a complete joke that doesn't give any care about the students the dorms the food, professors are horrible felt like I didn't learn a thing while attending. Played sports there and its just as bad coaches demanding so much bull then what they can offer and will just throw players off for no reason.

The dorms could use a lot of work. The food is not always cooked properly and thoroughly. Half the things that are suppose to work don't or they break (washers, driers, internet, showers). Really expensive college for what little you are getting out of it. You do NOT learn in most of your classes. The Equine classes are the only good thing.

This school is for people who never grew up from highschool, there is always a lot drama and everyone is inconsiderate. Most professors dont care about you or how you do in their class and most dont answer emails. theres no air conditioning. With the amount of MONEY i pay to school you think they would clean it up, fix the wifi cause its horrible

Out of date campus. Old and smelled weird. No air and almost no heat in the buildings. Most buildings are not handicap accessible.

I went to cent for a yr & transfered, horrible school & programs. HS was more challenging. People are not friendly, faculty are rejects of the field they went into, hate to admit. Too expensive for broken down dorms & nothing to do on or around campus. Go to a state school, get a real degree & have a happier experience at school.
