All students are allowed to have cars, which is a good thing for outdoor enthusiasts; without venturing far from campus, students can play frisbee golf at Henry Jackson Park, canoe at Cummins Falls Marina or explore the Central Kentucky Wildlife Refuge. Longer car trips will take students to Lexington, Kentucky, in 40 minutes; Cincinnati in two hours; and Nashville, Tennessee, in 3.5 hours.Students at Centre College are encouraged to take on experiential learning projects, be it through an internship or research with a faculty member.
