I took almost exclusively upper-level courses at PBA and rarely received a grade on any piece of work under an A. When I came to a state school and enrolled in intro-level classes (PBA has almost no general requirements, which bites you if you transfer), I figured I would have to step it up to maintain the same grades. I did step it up, and papers that would have easily- and did easily- earn a full A at PBA returned, at the HIGHEST, a B, down to C-'s. That's right... an A in an upper-level composition course at PBA returns something like a C+ average at other schools. Also beware, the campus DIES on weekends. Literally almost every single student leaves, and every weekend has either minimal or- the usual- no activities. Many times I walked around the campus on a weekend day and did not see a living soul.

A very large number of people arrive and have no idea what the rules- which are readily available online- will be like. This creates bitter students and people who have no interest in upholding the standards of the university. One very important thing: the school advertises 3,000+ students. This includes EVERY student: undergrad, graduate, night, part-time, one class, whatever. There are less than 2,000 traditional students with whom you will interact. Also, the retention rate is listed as in the 70s. During the mandatory freshman year experience class, students are told by professors that the four-year retention is between 25-45 percent. Even by conservative numbers, 55% of your freshmen year classmates will transfer out. They come for the location and for many students it ends up not being enough. You will NOT be getting "the college experience" at PBA. This isn't because of a lack of partying and inappropriate behavior- that is certainly present for those who choose to pursue it. You miss the experience caused by engaged students who love and are involved in their school, varied EC activities (there is almost nothing to occupy your time at PBA, even if you are involved in everything), a variety of students and interests, and school pride. Transferring to a school where I can live out my faith but still have that experience is the best decision I could have made. In less than a month at a state school, I found more committed Christians to journey through life with than a year pursuing them at PBA, where calling yourself a "Christian" is the style but not the lifestyle.
