Alexandra - 11/08/2019

Centralia College is a great community college that continues to grow each year. Most of the professors are kind and helpful. There are a lot of fun events that let students get involved. The facilities are very nice; some of the buildings are practically brand new and they are in the process of expanding even more. I highly recommend CC for anyone looking for a college in a small town like Centralia.

Autumn - 11/07/2019

Centralia College is a good school to go to just for a associates or nursing degree. As a running start student my adviser is always there for me if I need help planning my next classes or need help with transferring schools. Overall this school and this experience has gotten me ready to transfer and helped me find out what I want to do. The only thing I recommend is to only get your associates from here if your going to a big university it is best to start small then go big, because you will have prerequisites out of the was and it is cheaper.

William - 07/09/2019

I've been attending Centralia College for a little over a year. Centralia College is a great small school with class and professionalism. The city of Centralia is great, a really nice and convenient city with a lot of access and things to do. The old town is loaded with old buildings, old streets, and very nice people. The college is growing, the college is actively building a new building, always clean. Just a short hop skip and jump from the I-5 freeway. The new town is medium-sized with a lot of things to do. Overall, I look forward to seeing where Centralia College goes in its future. I've heard the school is building its IT department and hopefully bring in more with A.I. Technology is always going to be moving forward, but the school huge of Art, History, Math, English and a lot of other majors. A great school.

Elizabeth - 11/07/2018

I do really like what they have here. It is a good way to start of college and then go from here to another big place. I enjoy It because typically classes are not super high and it is easy to go talk with the professors about comments or concerns. Most of the teachers are great about making time for students.

Centralia College FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Centralia College?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Centralia College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

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

    The advice I would give myself if I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior would be to not hold back. Use the oppertunity of going to college to reach out and grab hold of all different types of oppurtunites. There is so very much to be offered at college and you really have to step out and reach for it. I would tell myself also to not lose sight of who you are and embrass it fully. Once you step out of that high school and onto the college campus it doesn't matter any more what you did in high school, it matters who you are. People aren't going to say to you "Oh you were a homecoming queen." or "You had a great game last night" You will no longer be what you do, but you will have the chance to be truley who you want to be and grown in that. The last thing I would tell myself is college isn't as easy has high school, you gotta work kid.

    Before attending Centralia College, you attend CC101, which is like an orentation. During this, I feel like I was given all the information, tours etc that I needed and then some. Along with news and information posted around campus, there really isnt anything that you can't easily figure out. Honestly, I was given all the information I needed to know before coming to this school and cannot think of anything I wish I had known.

The new addition is online classes which makes the task of working full-time and school easier. Diversity is a big plus at Centralia College. They share and promote intercultural curriculum and actiivites preparing the student for globalization. An additional uniquness about the college that I am attending is the location and cost. In today's world that is important.

  9. What's unique about your campus?

    The best part about my school is the layout. Everything is in walking distance and esy to get too. Also the entire staff is very nice and helpful; if you have a question they can't answer, they will direct you to someone who can. The overall mood of the whole place is nice, its like you have joined a family thats glad to help you and point you in the right direction. So I guess there are alot of things great out my school.

  10. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    Yikes! No one. This school accompanies ANYONE....it has a vast diversity....international students from around the world, and in my own classes so far I've met 16 year olds in Running Start, and 60+ year old men trying to get back into business for themselves. They even cater to Spanish only speaking people, holding orientations to help usher them into english classes and the workforce. All at this tiny, but well respected Community College in Centralia, WA. I would shudder at the thought of ANY public school not accompaning all types of people.
