Student Spotlight
"I would recommend Central to a prospective student because it truly is an accommodating place that acts as a second home for me. If I need any sort of assistance, whether it is getting help in a class, changing my class schedule, personal or social issues, there are many people there to make your life as great and easy as possible."
