Central College Top Questions

I wish that I would have known more about classes and scheduling. During orientation, we signed up for classes. I met with an advisor, but I basically trusted that they would be able to help me pick an ideal schedule. However, I took way too many credits that first semester and had a much too difficult schedule as a Freshman. If I would have known more about classes and scheduling, things would have gone much better.

Before I came to Central College, I wish I had known how easy it is to become involved here. 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. If I had known sooner how easy it was to get involved, I would have been able to cultivate experiences and friendships much sooner.

I wish I had known that college test questions have many critical thinking questions on them so instead of studying the cold hard facts, I wish I took a couple different views on the material. Also, I wish I knew that reading the book you need for the class before you get to class can help extremely with remembering the material.

i wish that I had known how hard it would be to be away from my family, but there are great professors here who look out for you!

That the food they served at Scholarship day isn't like normal food.

I knew everything that I needed to know when I got here. I asked a lot of questions before coming and that's what really helped. The admissions counselors here give you pretty much all the information you need to know, but be sure to ask lots of questions. Even if you think they are dumb questions, still ask them. They will help you get a better picture of the college.

Sometimes you have to make tough choices to decide what it is you want to do and how you will spend your time. You will not get along with everyone. Sometimes there is a lot of homework, but making time to make memories is so much more important.

I wish I would have know the percentage tuition was going to rise. I was told not very much, but it has risen at leat 1,000/year.
