What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

It is just as important to have enjoy oneself as much as it is to be responsible.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

There are many different clubs, teams, and other extra-cirriculars to offer fun and excitement here, but I did not know how easy it was to take advantage of them until the end of my Sophomore year.

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
Central is a small college, but I definately do not see that as a negative thing. My teachers know me as a person, and not just a number. Class sizes are small, about 25 - 30 per class, and sometimes smaller. So my teachers are able to easily help me with any thing I may have questions on. Also, Central's campus is very pretty. It's not divided by many roads, and everything is fairly close to the dorms, and not to mention our football team is awesome! Go Dutch!
