This school is perfect. I love everything about it. It is very hands on, and the faculty takes the time to get and know the students. It is a very small, private college, but I would recommend it to anyone.

I am wondering why Central Penn's men basketball is unheard nationwide?? This school (CPC), is a wonderful school in both academically and professionally. I think all men basketball coaches need to be more energetic and cheerful to the players so that we as central penn college students get warm-up. It will be my pleasure if the head coach allowed me to assist him for ONLY one season. Thank you all! Sincerely, Phillip Deng
