Pensacola Christian College

I've already posted a comment but I wanted to say a few more things that I feel are important to the reader. I came to PCC because I wanted to find God. I considered myself a Christian and I wanted to learn more about the bible and get spiritual as well as academic education. So your question may be did I find God? Do I feel closer to Him since I went to a Christian institution? My answer is no. PCC made me dead to religion and anything spiritual and changed my views completely. I was afraid to go to a secular university because everyone always told me they try to skew your thoughts and beliefs. Well PCC did just that. To be honest with you I can't even explain completely how they did it, but I know fellow college students who are there and live and see it everyday are the only ones who can understand my thoughts and feelings. If you dare to find out then go...maybe its the best. But if there really is a God (and I'm not sure about that anymore), I can't imagine Him wanting somebody like me who was searching open hearted for Him, to go to a place like PCC. I stopped praying my sophomore year and despite the good friends and spiritual influences, it still did not stop my faith from diminishing. One thing PCC did not take from me though is my will (even though they constantly talk about braking the will of students is God's will). And even though I am no longer a Christian I still believe in doing whats right. (That does not include only wearing skirts, and judging others). It does include standing for whats right in my country, loving others, helping the poor and others in need, and helping young people stay away from drugs, violence, ect.

If you are interested in seeking a professional career and higher education, I do not recommend PCC. I graduated with a bachelors in mathematics and when I tried to get my masters it was not accepted by any university even when I seeked help from PCC. Consequently I decided to get another bachelors in Industrial Engineering from an accredited school. They at least transferred my credits from PCC so I don't have to start over completely but it does set me back a few years before I can go on to my masters. As for getting a job, if you don't plan on higher education, I got a somewhat decent job after graduation. But I am not satisified and that is why I am going back school at a university that is accredited. I would recommend PCC to students that plan on working in the ministry and do not plan on a professional career. The only exception I would make is for nursing students. Most of my friends that graduated with nursing are doing very well.

I don't think I would ever go back if I were given another opportunity. I think it is just how and why I had to leave that completely destroyed what little hope I had left in believing that the college was worth while. If you are an extremely conservative Christian young person, this would probably be a good place for you to stay for 4 years. If you are anything other than, I would not recommend this institution. The plus side. I like the fact that they teach traditional English grammar to all students.
