Briana from Cincinnati, OH

I would definitely encouraged students to come to this school. There are always people on campus who care for you. There are different sections that pertain exactly to your major, which of course will allow you to be more focused on what you want to do for the rest of your life.

Xavion from Moore Haven, FL

Stay focus on your studies before you decide to go partying. Do not consider everyone your friend because they are not. Central State or any college is what you make it. It can either be a good experience or bad the choice is up to you.

Janay from Bellwood, IL

Turn off the television, limit time on social net works and get plenty of sleep to stay focused in school.

Angela from Detroit, MI

Make sure that Central is for you, meaning that it has something to offer it and that you have something to offer as well.

Paulisha from Cincinnati, OH

Coming to CSU, keep you mind open. College is a big step, so keep an alarm clock handy too. Your not always given the afternoon classes, so you might just have to wake up around 6 or 7am. Get involved in some type of activity too, networking really does pay off.

chelsea from Inkster, MI

Be sure to get involved.
