I just graduated from the Social Work program. The program is awesome! The Professors are all wonderful. The program is not easy, but it does prepare you to work in the field or to go on to Grad school. The Professors are very helpful with job leads before and after graduation. I would highly recommend anyone interested in Social Work to go to Centenary. I am 52 and was the oldest in my cohort, but I can honestly say everyone in my class graduated feeling confident going on to their next step. I had such a wonderful experience that I recommended to my son to go there and he will be going into the psycology program in the fall.
Review Centenary College - New Jersey
I have so fair have enjoyed my experience at Centenary College. It is a very nice school, especially the Equine Program that they offer. The teachers unlike at many other colleges, truly wants you to succeed in their class. They go out of their way to help you in and out of the class room. The thing that I would say needs to be changed is the freshman dorm rooms. Though they are working on redoing them, the freshman doors need work. Especially the bathrooms, they are falling apart and really need to me fixed up.
Housing here is definitely one of kind! The people you live with will make the experience well worth it because of the great friends that you make. The freshman dorms here are pretty nice the ceilings are really tall and seems like there is a lot of space. The bathrooms are usually clean Monday-Friday because of the cleaning services, Saturday-Sunday the bathrooms tend to get a little messy. The placement of the freshman dorms are not in the greatest spot because you have to walk a far distance to get food but its a great distance for classes! The social atmosphere is great many people leave there doors open and its friendly and fun and you make a lot of great friends. The food here is pretty decent it gets a little repetitive once in a while and if your a picky person like me its a little hard to find things sometimes but they definitely have a varied of foods. The amenities are pretty good we have a small campus so its not much but the gym and the weight room are pretty sufficient. The library is definitely a one of kind. Its split up into different sections and it is easy to find and get around. It is a great place to get work done and have a coffee at Greens Beans!
