Several of my professors, like the AWESOME MR. Pribble, did their very best to instill solid journalism practice and principles, with all its questioning and hard facts, while others seemed to serve as mouthpieces for a purpose far removed from presenting professional and bright writers to the "outside" world.
Your best bet as an aspiring journalist/writer is to skip this one. I survived by God's grace alone, in spite of my many, many close calls with The Boot. I also profited from a more varied philosophical background and a very inquisitive mind that could not be snuffed out by anyone's contentions that such things were possible hinderances to staying in God's favor. And unless you are able to come up with some pretty creative an insightful stuff between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and about 10:15 p.m., excluding class hours, meals, chapel, church, prayer group, and work, you might find your emotional and mental resources fairly zapped before you get a few words out. I, along with many friends and acquaintances, managed to beat the system and get in some late-night studying in the bathroom tucked between the comode and tiles. Great inspiration! It's also hard to find time to get alone to think, especially if you have no car to get off campus, and, even if you do, to have to take 2 others along. No internet (ok, very limited access, in the library.) I'm thankful to for Dr. Hunt arranging the journalism minor, and for my initial, though mostly untested, knowledge of the field. PCC, however, seems to laugh at and stand against most of what journalists aspire to, either out of ignorance or a calculated belief that the castle (sand?) could not withstand scrutiny. It's a pity, because I was under the impression that those who know the truth have nothing to fear.
The other side---PCC loves guilt trips, repetative and frequently inapplicable sermons, and hypocrisy. They also like to punish those who do not deserve punishment. Those who do need punishment get away scott free. Even when you try to submit and follow the rules, which are vast and often ridiculous, they are those power hungry, ego maniacs who wield their "power" with awesome viciousness. I do not think that a lot of the administration is to blame. I have known some of them and I thank them for what they taught me. I do blame all the little ego maniacs with their power trips. The school would be great if you could separate the teachers from their retarded system! The education is top notch, but the "system" could be equated to a triple root canal without pain killers.But please let me add this, those at PCC are human and humans sin and err. And when humans are full of pride they can become blinded to it and do stupid things. I believe that PCC has become blinded with their pride and if they do not humble themselves, God will. I can only pray that they realize what's going on before they end up like all the other "Christian" colleges. If you want a college to go to, I suggest you pray pray pray pray and look. If God leads you to PCC, He will help you through it. He helped me in more ways than I can give voice to, even with eternity!
