Know that this is a place where no one completely fades into the woodwork, and your professors will check in on you if they think you're struggling.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The English major is only as challenging as the professor teaching that class, but all of the English profs grade for participation in class, as well as for attendance.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There is pretty much a place for everyone, no matter your preference in living arrangements. It would be a good idea to research each of the dorms before you pick one.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are three different places to eat on campus that accept the meal plan, and they are all decent. My favorite was Geisler Cafe (it's also a great place for work study employment).
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Central is a fairly expensive college, but the professors and the class options can be worth the expense.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a pond on campus that all unusual traditions revolve around: the Lemming Race is an event where people dress in costumes and race from the library to the pond (and jump in). And of course, if you tell people when your birthday is, you'll probably be thrown in the pond at some point that day.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who like a small town atmosphere would do well at Central.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are plenty of sororities and fraternities on campus, and the variety among them is great. Plus, they aren't national fraternities, so dues are manageable.
