Did you know prospective students who visit Central College are more likely to attend? Once they see campus and experience the culture of Central's campus community, it's hard to picture themselves anywhere else. If you visited Central prior to choosing to attend, you remember the feeling!
Makenna Hall ’23, above, started college at a big state school, but when she visited Central, it changed her mind about what her college experience should be like. “I had a gut feeling about Central,” she says. “I knew I was going to come, and I knew there was something in store for me here.”
Do you have a student or students in your life who are unsure of what college will best fit them and their goals? Encourage them to schedule a visit to Central! It's a low-pressure way to observe the college experience, which will help inform their decision. You remember how it felt to be a young adult making such a big life choice; prospective students need all the positivity and support they can get — and it starts with you: trusted adults who care for them! ❤️
