Pensacola Christian College
“I went to PCC for 2 years beginningQuite BrightJournalism
I went to PCC for 2 years beginning in 03. I went basically on a deal with my dad. I go to a "good" Christian College for a year, and he would pay for my college elsewhere. Well, through my time there I saw a lot of my friends shadowed and expelled. I was campused once for minor things, and got into to trouble over little stuff. the summer after my second year I was regaling a friend with some stories and he looked at me and just said "Why go back?" that's when it hit me. "Why?" I could not come up with a good answer. I didn't want to be there. Sure, I endured to endless rules and even had fun with my friends. I lied and got off to go to a few beach parties and even got away with some things that suprise me now! but bottom line was I didn't want to be there. I tranfered to UWF (they took most of my credits, thank God!)and later moved to south florida. my life totally changed after PCC. i became the person i wanted to be, not the one PCC was trying to mold me into. for a while i didn't go to church, but when I did find a church to attend, it was because I wanted to go -- not because i was forced to go. I met and married my husband, we have a little girl, and my life could not be happier. I am part of a wonderful family, church, and career. When I look back on PCC i just have to laugh. I hold no bitter feelings, I just feel for those who went through what i did and thought there was soemthing wrong with them for not feeling the way the faculty did. I finished reading a book the other day that i would like to reccomend. "The longest trip home" by, uh, I don't remember, but he also wrote "Marley and me" Though the book is about growing up catholic, I think PCC students can relate to it as well. it's the same concept, different religion. Good luck to all who read this, and if you think PCC is right for you, great! If you don't, don't feel bad -- you'll find your own way.

“While attending PCC I became involved in manyAverageEducation
While attending PCC I became involved in many ministries. I got to know quite a few faculty and staff members. In general I found the students and staff to be quite genuine.
Thus, I take umbrage at the Oct. 3 reviewer's ranting and reprimanding review. The individual said something to the effect that "if you don't like it there then leave."
I stayed & completed my work and yet I do concur with many of the negative comments about the institution. I may not like how they are presented, but the emotion of a comment does not negate it's merit.
If PCC could glean one truth from all they read here, it is: Please stop trying to be God for every person on campus. This behavior creates spiritual and moral cripples.
It's like telling a child who is just learning to walk, "Do not stand up, you will fall down. Let me carry you, I can walk much better. I am experienced."
Unfortunately with so many sermons being fed into young minds saying things such as, "If you're not happy here you you have a spiritual problem." or "If you leave you'll never find peace with God." one's thinking can become conflicted and cloudy.
I would much rather hear sermons saying, "If you are not sure this is the place for you, then take it to God and let Him guide you. Speak to your pastor and your parents too."
This is not what one will hear at PCC, but it would be a very honorable and wise thing to do.
PCC, do as Gideon did. Take those the Lord's choses. It's not always about numbers.
