College Courses and Campus Life Make For Fulfilling
Post-Secondary Experience
Attending college offers students a unique experience that allows for
learning from a practical approach. However, college isn't only an
educational experience. It also helps people to step out of their comfort
zone by meeting new people, partaking in on-campus activities and
networking. Let's take a closer look at the balance between work and play in
one's college experience.
Most colleges are known for ensuring that their college courses offer theory
and practice. Therefore, the school you choose should include some sort of
practical application in each of its courses. At Centennial College, for
example, students of all Schools of Study — Transportation, Business,
Communications, Media and Design; Community and Health Studies,
Engineering, Technology and Applied Science; and Hospitality, Tourism and
Culture — get to apply what they learn in some way. Among common
practical applications that students may experience in their courses are:
field trips to companies in their chosen field, listening to guest speakers
and engaging in discussions with them, case studies, simulated real-world
assignments, projects, role playing, participation in competitions, field
placements, internships and more.
Additionally, many of these courses prepare students for a range of other
designations and exams. For example, Police Foundation students attend a
Police Prep courses, which offers a comprehensive approach in preparing for
the application and testing process to become a police officer. Meanwhile,
those in Architectural Technology are able to gain membership in the
Ontario Association for Applied Architectural Sciences (OAAAS), which can
lead to Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) membership as a Licensed
Technologist OAA.

how important it is for students to relax and unwind. That's why all four of
Centennial's campuses (Progress, Morningside, Ashtonbee and the Story Arts
Centre) have numerous services that will provide students support,

entertainment, and expand their learning.
For example, Centennial College's Athletics and Recreation has seen a
resurgence and growth. It is now aiming to take Centennial College to the
top of the Ontario College sport landscape. From the experienced recreation
staff, knowledgeable fitness staff to the industry leading facilities and
equipment, the recreation experience can be memorable for students at all
levels.
Additionally, the school offers a range of activities through its clubs and
associations. There are many benefits to joining a club, including building
relationships, meeting a diverse range of people, developing networking
skills and continuing to grow. Current student clubs include: Software
Engineering Student Council, Leaders in Efficient Architectural Design, The
Society of Aerospace Students, Hindu Y.U.V.A., Automation and Robotics
Student Society, Electronics and Computer Engineering Student Society,
Centennial College Students Section – PMI, Club Paramedic, Mechanical
Engineering Student Association, Centennial Student Club of Bangladesh and
Student Centre Smashers.
Lastly, the Bachelor of Public Relations Management offering is a unique,
first-of-its kind program in Canada. The program includes a strong focus on
research, social and digital media and corporate communications, and
prepares students for a variety of careers in public relations. The strong
focus on business principles and digital communications gives graduates a
competitive edge.
