“Well, I have mixed feelings about PCC.History/Histories (art history/etc.)
Well, I have mixed feelings about PCC. I chose to go there myself and completely paid (and am still paying) my own way through. When I was there, things were difficult with the rules. I wouldn't say that it hurt me however. The friends that I made are the kind that last a lifetime and I wouldn't trained them or the life lessons I learned from them for anything in the world! I get a little offended when I hear someone talk badly about my alma mater but I do try to understand. PCC is not for everyone but it does prove self-discipline. The education is excellent unless you are pursuing a career that will require undergraduate accreditation. Overall, I would definitely do it again and would recommend it to others. I am even considering returning for my master's degree in education in the summers while school is out.

“PCC is a very good college.Education
PCC is a very good college. Rules are everywhere; you must learn to live with them. Usually, those who already have problems submitting to authority will not make it at PCC. College taught me that my education depended solely on me - no one else. If you can self-study, you will do well in ANY college you choose. Dorm life will will teach you how to live with and get along with others - especially from other geographical regions. Social skills are necessary; friends are important. PCC does have a rep. of being the "friendliest" campus. Did I agree with everything there? NO. But, I learned that you can't agree with everything or everyone. I got my degree and left; no sense complaining about what you can't change. Get what you can in your education, and leave the rest behind. I find it interesting the negative reviews by alumni. Ask yourself, why they stayed if they hated it so much? And, by the way, don't be afraid if you find yourself doing something later in life that you didn't study for. Statistics show that 75% or more college students change their majors AT LEAST ONCE before graduation. College should teach you how to organize, prioritize and work. Enjoy this time of your life. It will never come again. You have much to learn and look forward to!!

“I graduated 16 years ago and the memoriesEducation
I graduated 16 years ago and the memories continue to haunt me. Do NOT attend this college under any circumstances. If you are a true believer it will screw you up with its emphasis on man obeying the law instead of God's grace. If you are not a believer you will never want to become one!
Like many others, I went because this school was on the short list of ones I was "allowed" to attend without being excommunicated from my family -- another was in South Carolina, if you get my drift. So I thought, "Well at least this one is close to the beach." Ha, ha. If you love to go to the beach, this will be a new experience for you. No music, nowhere near the guys, oh, and please wear pantyhose between the school and the beach in case someone sees you!
But I digress. We were required to attend chapel everyday, church three times per week (plus S.S.), prayer group each night and hall meeting (it's another devotional) once a week. This would be fine if these were quality services with real substantive messages and/or real discussions about Christianity. They were not. They were often guilt trips about having a good attitude about all the rules, or the same message over and over again about knowing God's will for your life. My personal favorite was "Incest is Wrong!!!" -- so is that a big problem at PCC?
I came out of that place so screwed up. If it hadn't been for my husband, another PCC grad (God bless him), I would have dropped out of the whole Christian life. Please, please, do not attend this school. If your parents won't pay for anywhere else, you can get loans on your own! They will get over it sooner than you will get over the painful experience of attending PCC.
