Centenary College of Louisiana

Centenary College of Louisiana wants students to get all that they can out of their four years in college. CCoL requires students to complete three parts that make up a “Centenary Plan.” The parts include community service, career exploration, and an intercultural experience. Before a student graduates, he or she must also complete a module, or a trip that incorporates an academic project. After your stint at Centenary, you’ll surely come out well-experienced, but may be in need of a rest. Even the professors might be exhausted.

“The teachers are overworked—the entire history department consists of two professors, who have to teach all the history ever. So if you decide to go into certain majors, you’ll have very fried, exhausted—but still fun—teachers. And they do try to keep things interesting.”

If you’re in need of a drink after all the hoops CCoL wants you to jump through, it might be hard to come by.

“The parties on campus are fun, but always on guard, because Centenary is a dry campus. Off campus, Joe’s and the Phillin’ Station are good bars. I try to stay away from dance clubs.”

“There aren’t really on-campus parties. Since it is dry, people who are drinking have to do it in their room with only a few other people.”

Visiting campus isn’t enough.
