Pensacola Christian College

PCC is a great place to get an education. Nobody will ever agree with them completely on their stand in various areas, but I went there to get an education not to bicker about Bible doctrines.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

If you don't agree with every policy of the school be careful for you could be expelled if you share your disagreement. (most people have different perspectives and beliefs than the school adminnistration does- if you agree with the school on everything, you need to be concerned) I had some very helpful professors as well as some very discouraging professors. One of the professors helped instill a love of Chemistry in me.

Spiritual life is what you make it for yourself. Don't expect great sermons to come from the pulpit, though every once in a while God would really bless me by a message I would hear and I would be so thankful for the encouragement to persevere. This helped me recognize the importance of having a daily quiet time because you weren't going to get much when you were required to attend the church on campus. (The only church you're allowed to attend is the church on campus)

Before attending PCC I read some reviews and considered many reviews too ridiculous to believe. As a student I discovered many of the statements describing this school and its policies were actually true.

I am transferring this next year and am thankful for the things God has taught me this previous year while at PCC. I am also thankful I do not have to repeat another year at PCC. The advice I would offer to friends considering PCC as their college would be to answer the following questions; Is PCC the place God has shown me beyond a shadow of a doubt He wants me to attend? Does accreditation matter in my chosen field? (No degree at PCC is accredited; nursing is approved by the FL state board, but it is NOT accredited- this means you are allowed to take the NCLEX and gain licensure, but your credits are not accredited.) If you're not fundamental independent Baptist be prepared for your "denomination" to be criticized by the spiritual leaders of this school.

Another recommendation I would make to a friend is if this is not the place God has obviously directed you- DON'T ATTEND for the sake of your intellectual freedom

If God has shown you that this is indeed the place for you, get a support group of friends, pray, and forge onward- continue in God's strength. Don't allow leaders to tell you what you are to believe. Believe what God shows you through His Word. Be aware that God's Word can be twisted.May your future education be uplifting.

This school, after having been here two years, is getting to be extremely stifling. It's difficult to stay here for the three months that you are, especially considering that during the spring semester we get three days for "spring break"; in reality, we go to 12 church services in three days. Yes, 12 church services in three days. That's two on Wednesday night, two in the morning in Thursday and Friday, one early afternoon on Thursday and Friday, and two on Thursday and Friday night. Additionally, students must wear suits and ties anywhere they go off campus. I know I've spent a lot of time on that subject, but it's a major issue with the normal students in campus. Out of room, but thanks for letting me help you choose somewhere else!
