After reading through several recent comments, I foundQuite BrightPreLaw and Legal
After reading through several recent comments, I found it quite humorous to see how different aspects of the school were adressed on opposite spectrums. One student would say it was the most awsome thing ever while the next would say it was the closest thing to hell.

I am a prelaw major, and I came to the college because it was inexpensive and academically formidable. It's hard to rank the college from a general standpoint, because people are different; majors are different. What I am saying is that if you want to know how far a degree from this college will take you, my answer is it depends. I have heard about computer science students graduating to find out that their education was too obsolete to get them into any respectful career of their choice. That does not mean that education in general at PCC is bad, it just means that if you are looking for a good computer science education, PCC may not be for you. On the other hand, I have heard stories about criminal justice and prelaw students becoming very successful in their lives thanks to PCC. I know of a lady who graduated from PCC, went to Notre Dame and graduated second in her class. She became extremely successful in her vocation because PCC adequately prepared her. That is an encouragement for me, and I will say that if anyone wants to go into law, PCC is an excellent school to prepare you. I said all of that to say this. Do not come to this school blind, or you may find that the school is not cut out to be what you thought it would be. Check your sources, find sources. Honestly, despite the complaints from other students, I believe every major is generally good enough to get you where you want to go in life. The education here is excellent overall.As far as their standards and rules go, it's fairly manageable. I personally have a problem with the way they push their rules on students. To me, it all seems very arbitrary. The attitude seems to be that if you do not obey the rules or if you receive a lot of demerits, then you are falling away from God. I know for a fact that this is how they think, because I have personally witnessed it. That is what frusterates me about the school. It is a very closeminded school in many ways. The preaching generally rests on a low educated level. You will hear the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over--bored yet?--and over again. I do not want to make myself sound enlightened or above, because I am not by any means; but to me the Bible teaching is very shallow, lacking any substance to intrigue the mind. In class one time I asked my Bible Doctrines teacher a fairly difficult question to challenge some statements he made in lecture. Without really giving an adequate answer, he basically made a circle around the question, not knowing that he ended up making even less sense than before. I am just one tiny example out of hundreds of others. Just ask people, you will see what I mean. I appologize if I sound too negative, but I just say it how it is. Basically, I would compare the college to "Christian" socialism. I see more religion and ritual than actual Christianity. Now I say that with respectful reservation, because not everybody is going to see it that way. Everyone is different, and this college will impact us in different ways. Do not let my review make you think one way or the other. Just have an open mind. Let your expectations be formulated after you attend, not before. Success or failure is not determined by an institution, rather it is determined by the individual. A student at PCC can be just as successful as a student at Harvard. Any student at PCC can end up leading the biggest churches in the world, they can end up becoming the most prestigious people in the world. Don't limit your success by overdoing your negativity or positivity of an institution. Let Christ be your guide through all things. If you have any questions for me, you can email me at Good luck!

Question
I spent one excruterating year at Pensacola ChristianAverageNursing
I spent one excruterating year at Pensacola Christian College and that was too much for me! I was a freshman nursing major who at the end, the last week of school was told that there no spots left in the fall nursing class. This was due to them bringing in too many freshman nursing students, taking their money but then not coughing up a clinical spot for the following fall. I was told that I could come back for a year and take Bible classes and then after 2 semesters that I MIGHT get a clinical spot. I thought long and hard about that option and then decided that i had been screwed enough. After 1 whole year there I had nothing to show. None of my credits transferred and I was out of a lot of money.

PCC is a great school for Bible but no other majors! The School is completely unaccredited and bogus! They are cheap but hey you get what you pay for! The Nursing classes were intense. With added stress from social rules, my time spent there was barely tolerable. They treat you like 5 year olds and don't respect your rights or individuality. Everyone is supposed to conform to their religious and radical beliefs. And if you don't no questions asked, they will kick you out! Don't go there!!! Don't even think about it!!

Horrible school.Accounting
Horrible school. Don't waste the little money it costs to attend. Would be better spend buying lottery tickets considering PCC is unaccredited.
