I thoroughly loved the years I spent atBright
I thoroughly loved the years I spent at PCC. The people were very friendly. And the teachers were top quality! They were very knowledgeable and professional. They also gave as much time as needed to their students to help them with questions or problems so the students can succeed. It was because of the teachers that I decided to return for my graduate degree.

I am so thankful for the chapels they have every week. They really encouraged me in the hard time in life, and challenged me to grow even more in the Lord.

The campus was also great from the grounds to the dorms/residence halls. Their dining halls have such a great variety of food, you wouldn't think you were eating "campus food" at all. --Rebecca Linzey

Question
PCC needs to make it clear to itsAverageEducation
PCC needs to make it clear to its first semester freshmen that it is not an accredited school, and it needs to explain to them how difficult it will be for its graduates to get a job. They should definitely show statistics on this for each major.

Teachers at PCC are friendly, dedicated, and competent. But PCC needs to reconsider the people who oversee and handle discipline. These people are immature and proud, especially their floor leaders.

PCC must definitely reconsider how much control it has over its students' personal lives. Spiritual matters should be handled by the pastor and the youth pastor, rather than monopolized by staff whom the students do not trust.PCC provides a great Christian environment. But it needs to understand that God doesn't want all Christians to be ultraconservative as they are. Christ always preferred to convince people and appeal to their knowledge of God, rather than forcing everyone to be like him.

Question
I transferred to PCC from another school.BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I transferred to PCC from another school. If I had to do it all over I would have attended another college. Despite what others have said on this site, you really don't know what you're getting yourself into as far as rule go until you actually attend PCC. (Even if you read the student handbook) Probably 70% of the rules are unwritten and very subjective.

Girls are required to wear hoisery (What is that?!) to church always, to dinner M-Th, and to chapel every day. (this rule is getting lacks however--this semester we don't have to wear them to breakfast--whoopie!) Guys are required to wear ties during the same times.

Here's something crazy. If you're off campus and you see a member of the opposite gender, and you talk to them you risk being "socialed" meaning you can't talk to any members of the opposite sex for 2 weeks! I understand the promisuity is rampant on most college campuses and PCC tries to protect their students, but really?!

Girls get the bum end of the deal here. Unless you're 23 you must have a minimum of 2 people in order to go off campus after 5 p.m. If you're a guy, you can go off whenever you want (between 6 a.m. and 10 p,m,) and work off campus. Girls are limited to working for minimum wage on campus. Guys are also allowed to go off campus with girls if the girl is 23 or older, or on staff, or a non-student. Girls must be 23 and get a pass in order to go off in a mixed group.

I do value rules and morals, however, it's ridiculous to have to look over your shoulder every moment and wonder if you're going to be stopped for some minor, idiodic infraction. I was not aware of the stupidity of the rule of PCC or I would have never come. I do have to say, I've made some good friends, mainly because they're people like me just trying to survive and make it through without getting in too much trouble.
