Central is, in my opinion, one of the best schools in the state. I have learned so much from all of the wonderful teachers. Majoring in elementary education studying biology, I have begun to take classes pertaining to my specific major. In the spring 2011 semester, I took a child psychology class learning how young minds develop and how his/her environment is crucial to cognitive development. Overall, I have learned a lot in each of my classes and I feel like I am extremely challenged.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
As part of the full college experience, I live on campus in the dorms. I have met so many great friends and the housing staff is extremely welcoming. The dorms are clean and the police officers keep everyone safe and protected.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Since CCSU is a state school, the price is very low compared to the expensive private schools most high school students strive for. Last year around March 2010, I was planning on going to a private school. After getting the financial report of $35,000 a year including all of the financial aid I received, I decided that going to a state school would be much more affordable. Looking back on my first year of college, I am no where near in debt because my scholarships went a long way. Not only is the school inexpensive, the bookstore runs a program where you can rent books for half of what the price would be. It only cost me about $250 last semester for books for 6 classes.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure you chose a school that you can afford. You do not want to be paying for college ten years after you graduate. Central is just as good as any private school, except thousands of dollars cheaper.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Central is a great school for education majors. It is one of the top teaching schools on the East coast. For other majors, there is a variety of majors to chose from and they recently added a nursing program for students aspiring to become an R.N.
