Pensacola Christian College

PCC is definitely not for everyone. If you are not good about following rules, you will probably have a pretty crappy time. If you grew up following rules, you will do fine. It seems as though a lot revolves around appearances. You don't get "written up" if you never do your devotions or pray(outside prayer group), but you do if your sideburns are lower than the middle of your ear, even if they are neatly trimmed. Some of the rules, like wearing a tie to morning classes, and a tie and jacket to dinner are pretty stupid, but it looks good when guests come. A lot of the students don't like a lot of the aspects of the college. I also don't "feel the love" from the college as an institution, but I do feel it from individuals. I know some really great students, and I have had some great teachers who are willing to help me, but they are individual parts. Some stuff, like not being able to wear the Hollister and Abercrombie + Fitch logos, no jeans or sandals, no t-shirts for guys, but the girls can wear shorts to the sports center, is just plain insane. Also, they are very uptight about guy/girl relationship. People can get socialled for sitting at the same table as a member of the opposite sex in the library, of for talking to them in the halls while classes are going on. In short, go to the college before you apply, and ask the students a lot of questions, about rules, what they don't like, and what annoys them. Also, don't go during "College Days." That is just for the guests, and you get a better view of the college if you visit during regular times. As far as working on campus goes, if you quit during the school year, outside of christmas break, you get 20% of the demerits necessary to get kicked out. Work comes before school, which is stupid.
