Frequently Asked Questions

Who will my roommate be?

Roommates are matched by age and the information provided in the student profile. Four students live together in a suite, and resident halls are samegender by floor. Staff members live on each floor to provide 24-hour supervision.

I am flying to camp; can someone pick me up?

Yes. The College offers drivers and vans to pick up students at Newark Airport. Students are escorted by a Summer Scholar staff member. For those who choose this service, payment and travel information must be submitted via our secure online system by June 1.

Can I bring my cell phone or laptop?

Students may bring their cell phones, however we do implement a strict cell phone use policy. We do this for two reasons: cell phone use can be disruptive to the academic environment and can prevent students from connecting with those surrounding them on-campus. Students may take cell phones on all off-campus trips, to provide an extra level of safety. Students and parents may reach each other at any time, 24-hours a day, through the program office and security office phone numbers. Students may not bring personal laptops to the program but may use the labs for email.

How well supervised are the students while attending Centenary?

Safety is our number one priority at Centenary, and the environment we create is filled with excitement, relaxation, and opportunity.

With a staff of experienced, highly trained teachers and mentors, Centenary provides the necessary supervision to ensure the safety and well being of our students at all times.
