I was really happy with the school, students were very nice, teachers are very helpful. Not a lot of money.

Being online felt easier to me than being in person as I'm not much of an extrovert or comfortable around lots of people. However in person they were kind enough to maintain distance and most teachers were nice and ready to help.

I have overall good feelings about Central except that COVID ruined a bit of the experience. But even then staff/teachers tried their best to make us comfortable before and after quarantine.
