<p>We visited many schools starting in her sophomore year but she ultimately applied to 4: Centre, Hendrix, Christian Brothers, and Univ of TN-Chattanooga (they have a kickin’ Honors program). After visiting Centre a couple of times, it quickly became her first choice. Money was definitely an issue and they made it affordable for us.</p>
<p><<does your=“” daughter=“” have=“” any=“” information=“” opinions=“” about=“” the=“” different=“” departments=“” and=“” professors=“” at=“” centre?=“” you=“” said=“” her=“” classes=“” were=“” challenging.=“” how=“” much=“” time=“” did=“” she=“” spend=“” on=“” homework=“” studying?=“”>></does></p>
<p>She loves the religion department and the professors. So much so that she is now minoring in religion. Her major is Psychology. She has been happy (for the most part) with her professors. I think she had issues with a spanish professor but there will always be a couple you would rather not have. Studying? I’m not sure really but I do know that she devoted most evenings (2-3 hours) to studying except Friday night and Saturday. Most Sunday afternoons was spent with her books. There is alot of emphasis on writing – if you don’t do that well you will probably struggle greatly.</p>
<p><<are there=“” many=“” social=“” activities=“” other=“” than=“” greek=“” parties?=“” if=“” you=“” do=“” go=“” to=“” parties=“” and=“” don’t=“” drink,=“” is=“” that=“” a=“” problem?=“” or=“” are=“” more=“” likely=“” become=“” extremely=“” popular=“” because=“” always=“” qualify=“” as=“” designated=“” driver?=“”>></are></p>
<p>There are lots of non-drinkers and usually the parties are big enough that no one cares either way. There are lots of other activities though. They are heavily into community service and there is usually something going on arts-wise each weekend. I know my daughter doesn’t worry about the designated driver thing as campus is so small they just walk to the parties (and stagger back I’m sure). BTW, for parents who don’t believe that alcohol is prevalent on ALL campuses (or that’s what the school tells you) don’t believe it (unless it helps you sleep better at night)…</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
