Pensacola Christian College

I absolutely do not recommend this school since it is not accredited. I went on to earn a second BS degree before I could pursue graduate work.

Dear reader,
The rules at PCC are overbearing and somewhat prepostrous because you can be kicked out at a moments notice for such simple things. I know that the rules are there for our own good, but some are just crazy (example: Shaking hands of the oppisite sex at anytime is prohibited and considerd inappropriate, students saying amen during church services is considerd disruption of the service). Although I dislike most of the rules, the students here are great. There are some jerks, but for the most part people here care about you and are willing to help you.

The acedemic program is good, but the problem is that it is not accredited. For some majors that is very important for a job. If your are looking for a college that is accredited and has an excellant spiritual emphasis PCC is not the place. If your looking for a college that has a good emphasis on spiritualality, then PCC is for you. Some things you need to realize before coming to PCC:

1. Strict rules!
2. Closed campus
3. Really hard acedimics (especially for work students)
4. Stiff dress code (no jeans, no tennis shoes, no tee shirts with writing/pictures)
Basically if you want to stay you have to give up your freedom and deal with it. It's hard but possible. Just makes you love home all the more no matter how strict your parents are!

If you have a problem with obeying rules, forget PCC, you will not make it and you will be miserable the whole time. Trust Me! Take this advice positive or negative. If its God's will for you to come, then be my guest! :)

I loved my years at PCC. The Lord used those years to draw me closer to him and prepare for service. PCC helped me to develop discipline in my life and expect excellence in all that I do. The rules were mostly organizational, and made sense to me. Everywhere you look on campus you see excellence and that is instilled in all of the students (meticulous yardwork, quality programs). I only wish more students had a desire to serve the Lord on campus, what is reflected many times at PCC is a student body that is wordly and rebellious. For the most part the student body wants to learn more about serving the Lord and following his will, but the few detractors make it difficult for the average student to see the spiritual heartbeat of many of the students. If you are planning to attend PCC purpose now to:

1. Follow to the best of your ability every guideline you agreed to follow (it will make you more disciplined and will help your focus.)

2. Make friends with those students that go on Christian service and have a positive outlook towards authority and thier college experience. Don't make friends with those that allow you to complain and be lazy, purpose to make friends that you know will encourage you to draw closer to Christ.

3. Pray and read your Bible every day
4. Make goals concerning your college career 5. Don't confuse your lack of demerits with spirituality (less than a third get more than 15 demeritys)... only through the leading of the Holy Spirit make personal standards and assess yourself.
