I loved PCC.Education
I loved PCC. Those who did not would not like any college with rules. If you know the rules going into a school and still choose to go, then live with the rules.

Question
I do not work in the marketing departmentOther
I do not work in the marketing department at PCC. This is a legitimate post. It's sad how people can spin just about anything.

I am not a homeschool product that lived an overly sheltered life. I graduated valedictorian of my large high school and had the opportunity because of my high SAT and ACT scores to go pretty much anywhere I wanted to go including being accepted to MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and The Air Force Academy... and I'm thankful I chose PCC.

For me, I enjoyed my experience at PCC. Yes, the rules seem somewhat ridiculous at times (I was written up for leaving my blinds open too late), but it's a structured place that needs guidelines to operate. These guidelines may seem trivial and mundane, but most of them are necessary. And yes, if you actually did read the handbook before signing the pledge that you said you did, you know the rules (they don't make them up as they go along)!

As far as preparation, the school helped me tremendously to succeed in my area of study.
The teachers I had were excellent and truly cared about me as a person, not just a number. I could work one-on-one with teachers if I needed to. The campus is safe and beautiful. Everything is done to the glory of God. Despite the negative posts about Dr. Horton, I know he is a godly man that loves the Lord and wants what is best for the college.Over all, my experience was great, and I am thankful for PCC. If you are considering PCC, pray about it and make sure it's God's will for your life. That's the same advice I would give to any HS student considering any college.

Question
This place genuinely changed my life.Quite BrightCommunications
This place genuinely changed my life. I know some reviewers do not believe any positive comments past Feb '07 are real. Well, I'm an '05 grad who works at the Sword of the Lord. This is the real deal, folks.

Yes, PCC has a controlled environment. Yes, they shield us from many things. Consider this. Plants grow the best in greenhouses. There, they are shielded form the outside world, and placed in what appears to be a restricted environment. Why do they grow so well? Because they receive exactly the nutrients and ingredients needed to grow, and only these elements they receive. This placed helped me grow spiritually. I made friends that I'm still in contact with today, and I am marrying the girl of my dreams. Sure, there are some personal and personality conflicts among individuals. Who doesn't have that? We need adversity to introduce us to ourselves sometimes. But this place isn't all harsh, back-breakers. These people are only here to help us grow.
