I attended PCC on the advice of myQuite BrightComputer Science
I attended PCC on the advice of my mother and because we did not have alot of money. I am a graduate of Victor Valley College with an AS in Computer Science. Did not matter, nothing transferred. I came on a train from California. And i did not shave because of the train trip, i was looked at as an alien. The school isolates you from every aspect of life, its like a mini culture, which SUCKS.

I was accused of crap i did not do, i was shadowed (i cried to my mom on the phone). This is so funny...

I had a sip of wine on the train to get some rest and I was given 75 demerits because i checked the box that said "I was not drunken with wine within the last sixty days". I bet they drink it quite often those rich commy bastards.

Dr. Musch cant satisfy his wife sexually,it was a known fact around campus he even spoke about it at a church meeting to stop the rumor.

Dr. Horton is a rich man, but he acts lowly in heart, he owns more than half the city of Pensacola. Its a beautiful campus but, Wolf in sheeps clothing. Dont even think about expressing your opinion. (notice i mention positive and negative)

I met some good people there and some of the faculty were downright helpful, while others were self absorbed pompous asses. Anyway on the drinking thing i got 75 demerits and was campused for two weeks, i could not even get laundry for my pcc clothes. So, i made up my own moniker "Catch the spirit" (i drew a hand underneath it with a wine bottle falling into it)

I also made a couple tshirts for people like
"I got kicked out of PCC for being a normal human being and all I got was this lousy tshirt"
"I looked at a girl and was written up and all i got was this lousy tshirt"
I met a couple nice people there i stuck well to, Melissa and Liz as well as Josh (gay guy who had to fight to keep his cool), Johnny, and a couple others.

I was accused of cheating on a final exam and was called into the office. I brought a senior, my room mate, and a floor leader to the office to contest on my behalf that i did not cheat, they still failed me, i was holding the highest grade in the class with two other people. Mr. Pettarisi did not even care..........Dean OH MAN doesnt really care about you. Im sorry this is just how i feel.

Im not afraid of saying who i amFareed 1999 attendee

Question
PCC-If you are interested in attending this collegeQuite BrightCriminal
PCC-If you are interested in attending this college visit before(not during college days) and spend several days in the dorms, converse with other students, and if you still want to come don't complain about the rules when you get there. The college has good academics, not as goos as some people propagate, but lacks individual accredidation. The college has a one track mind and will not tolerate views differnt or opposing then their own. Make sure you know what you believe, and don't be afraid to speak out. Just be prepared for the results when you do; explusion is the usual result.

Question
Many people will tell you they had aQuite BrightReligion/Religious
Many people will tell you they had a great experience at PCC, that they did not have trouble with the disciplinary system, that their degree was helpful and that their years at PCC were the best of their life. What you should realize is that even if all of the things the rest of us are saying about PCC -- their odd secrecy in removing unwanted students, staff and faculty; their enormous assets which have been put toward everything BUT helping the poor community in Pensacola; their elitism and refusal to even TALK to, much less cooperate with prominent Christians of even slightly different beliefs, or those whom they consider to be undesirable for any reason (real or fictitious, like Kent Hovind) -- even if all of these things are only partially true or only hearsay, THE COLLEGE HAS EARNED FOR ITSELF A POOR TESTIMONY through the way it has handled the accusations. By simply firing any staff members or faculty who voice concerns over ANY policy, event, or accusation; kicking out any student who does not absolutely conform to the "spirit of the College" (whatever that is); keeping completely silent about their ruthless methods and providing no explanation to the students or to the outside world; and by failing to answer any of the claims of behavior by the administration that can accurately be described as diametrically opposite to Christ-like behavior, they have earned their reputation as a cold, unmerciful, uncaring institution with horse-whipped students and a faculty that, for the most part, really cares about its students -- while they last.Remember the people Jesus was the most angry towards. Those who placed the moral law above real compassion, mercy, and Christ-like attitude. It doesn't matter how good of an idea it sounds to have lots of rules and try to be holy. What the Bible says is more important than what you think is a good idea or what the administration of PCC things is a good idea. You have to remember what's really important to God. Read about the life of Christ. Read about the Pharisees. The Bible will tell you all you need to know about the "spirit" of PCC. The parallels are striking.
