Human attraction is strongly linked to smell, according to scientists. If that’s so, then Central’s campus has a major aromatic advantage. Fill your nostrils with these scents and start your happily ever after.
Fresh Cookies
“My favorite smell on campus has to be walking into Central Market on Tuesday at 11 a.m.,” says Daniel Sunvold ’20. “Fresh cookies just like grandma used to make, baked to perfection, filling the air with that mouthwatering aroma that you know you shouldn’t have but apparently need. Simply exquisite.”

Barbecues at Fred’s
The familiar fragrance of a Central tradition gives Katie Larson ’22 all the feels. “I love the smell from the barbecues we have on Fred’s patio because it reminds me of home!” she says.
