by Aelwen Iredale We all know that Centre is expensive; we complain about it all the time. Between tuition, room and board, meal plans, and all the money we spend avoiding staying on campus, we are all broke college students, as per usual. But what if I told you there was a solution? Centre has…

By Daniel Covington For the past few weeks, weather around Centre’s campus has been as bad as it could be. To start the CentreTerm semester, there was an unprecedented snow storm that led to an ultra-rare Centre College snow day.

Well well well, would you look at that? I’m back in business. The Cento’s ever-so-kind Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor decided to pay me a visit in my prison cell and pay my bail so I could, quote, “dangle keys in front of our bored readers.” Whatever that means.

by Connor Parks Well all, election season is now past us. With a new issue on the horizon, I decided to finally answer a question I’d had for quite some time: how had Centre’s student body reacted to previous presidential elections, as seen in past editions of The Cento? I turned my eyes to the…

by Kayla Rogers As a residential college with almost everyone living on campus, along with the difficulties of obtaining off-campus housing/status, one would think that our dorms would be much better than what we have. Housing comprises a significant chunk of our tuition, tallying at $6,970 for the 2024-2025 school year. Centre’s policy of having…
