What Students Are Saying

Flexible classes and great teachers at Century College. Century is a great school and really close to home. This is where my dream will start to come true.
Maivtiaj from Saint Paul, MN
Century has been a great school to continue my education. It has given me more options on classes to take for my associates in the arts degree. I would strongly recommend Century to friends or family who wanted to continue their education.
Ashlie from Saint Paul, MN
Century College is a wonderful place to start your post-secondary education. The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable and they will make time to help you if necessary. Century is not a monetarily rich college, but the true richness lies in the community and the people within.
Austin from Forest Lake, MN
I would rate Century a solid 9 out of ten. The staff and volunteers have been very helpful in my return to school after many years of being in the workplace. I love my professors and the flexibility of class options.
kristin from Forest Lake, MN
This is a very diverse college and it is a little more challenging than your run of the mill community college. If you are preparing to transfer to a university, this college is great because of the more challenging aspect and it gets in a great area around quite a few great universities.
