There are many good things about PCC that would make it worth the while of someone from a conservative background. If you're used to cleaning your room, being in bed by 11:00, and not touching people of the opposite sex, then you'll have very little trouble adjusting. If, however, you consider the above mentioned things next to impossible, then you may want to think twice. The two major advantages of PCC are the price, and the avaliability of on-campus work (for minimum wage). It is possible to work your way through college and owe nothing at the time you graduate. The Computer Science teachers are very personable and willing to help students. Be aware, however, that much of the program is backward-looking, with an emphasis on Business related programming in languages such as COBOL. One of the assignments in the second semester of the sophomore year is to write a "sequential file update" that consists of more than 1600 lines of COBOL code. Programming is taught from a "structured" point of view, emphasizing maintainability, documentation, and consistency in programming style. For instance a student may have points deducted from a program for not having three blank lines between the opening comments, and the first lines of code.
