Homecoming is a recurring occasion for Centenary students and alumni to reconnect through campus activities and athletics. Its particular schedule changes from year to year, so students should distinguish the continuing tradition from any single year's event lineup.
Music and theatre performances are another recurring part of campus life, supported in part by the Hurley School of Music and student performers. Centenary in Paris also gives the college a distinctive shared first-year experience for participating students: it connects travel with coursework rather than functioning solely as a vacation. Together, these events offer ways to take part in campus life beyond clubs and classes.
Centenary offers on-campus residence halls and dining for students who want a residential college experience. It reports coeducational housing and a high proportion of students living on campus, but that does not mean a particular room type or placement is guaranteed.
Housing applicants should review the current residence agreement for first-year rules, assignment procedures, deadlines, accessibility accommodations, and what is included in a room. The college's dining arrangements include campus meal service; students with dietary requirements should check available accommodations and the terms of each meal plan before selecting one.
Living off campus may change a student's transportation and meal costs even when tuition stays the same. Students comparing the two options should use the current housing contract and financial aid budget, since the college's typical room-and-board figure represents an estimate rather than the price of every possible arrangement.
