At PCC (just like everywhere else) it seemsMechanical Engineering
At PCC (just like everywhere else) it seems there are two types of people, those that are going to get somethng done, and those that are just going to blame their problems on everybody. I went through there and it was tough let me tell you, yeah there are rules, and they are pervasive, but by the time you leave that place you have an excellent knowledge of your chosen field of work and you have the mental and physical discipline that so many people seem to lack today in the workplace. Basically you end up being someone who can get the job done, that's what bosses want, not excuses. I hire and fire based on that, I don't have time to hear whining, I want results. Thats how I got to where I am, thats what my company wants, that's what people have to deliver in my workplace. It's easy to be mediocre, and there are plenty of those types graduating today from the 'top universities' who in my experience have been the ones who can't think creatively because they don't know the basics well enough. In my opinion what has been achieved in my life is directly related to my suprise choice to attend PCC rather than the original university I would have attended in Mass. If your thinking of going to PCC don't go there if you want an easy go at it and you want 'to be who you are'. I heard plenty of drop-outs say that. Like I said it's easy to be mediocre. If you are a hard worker and you can be flexible enought to follow the rules in order to get by this is an outstanding college to attend for engineering or nursing as well as business. I have yet to run into a problem becasue it was unaccredited. I have travelled throughout the world working in different places and doing post-graduate work and have still to be set back because of the accredidation status. If you are willing to trust in the Lord, this is the place for you!

Question
I've been a Computer Science student at PensacolaQuite BrightComputer Science
I've been a Computer Science student at Pensacola Christian College for 3-1/2 years currently, and I've been very pleased with both the environment and the education at PCC. I feel that I have not only grown in knowledge of the computer science field, but also have matured as a person. This has been the result of the great friends and the structured environment of the school. While, I will admit that I don't like every rule that the school has (probably no one does), I will be honest in saying that these rules have kept me focused on my studies and helped me learn how to follow rules and instructions (be they school rules, business rules, government rules, or etc.) Many people complain of the rules and standards of the school and then leave (or some are expelled) only to badmouth the school and fill the minds of prospective students with presuppositions that are all based (or should I say "biased") on the former student's experience--or secondhand accounts of other student incidents.

What am I really trying to say? This: I had a great experience at PCC, and I would recommend the school to any Christian that wants to learn in a structured and God-centered environment with friendly teachers and students and a great campus Pastor. HOWEVER, I feel that you should take the time to go down to Pensacola and check out the school yourself. College is a significant investment of time, money, and you. Wherever you consider going, go check it out for yourself FIRST-HAND. Be sure to talk to students, staff, and faculty. Research before you make a decision, then you'll be much less likely regret whatever you decide.

Sincerely,
Clint McGee Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. (hopefully it won't get lost in all the spam!)

Question
It is a schoolQuite BrightPreLaw and Legal
It is a school FULL of rules, so if you aren't prepared to handle lots of self-discipline (and that of administration) then it's not the school for you. On the other hand, the school is very friendly and safe.
