The school is a great place to attend. I would reccomend that you know all of the rules before you come. If you can submit to authority, then you will be fine. It has a great spiritual atmosphere.

One thing that everyone must understand about attending PCC is that there are rules and you will be expected to follow those rules or there will be consequences. Often people misrepresent PCC to others with horror stories of how terrible the rules are and how they didn't know what they were getting into until it was too late to get out. I answer that by saying that they mail every student an updated copy of the student handbook during the summer before you return to school. Obviously not every rule is specifically mentioned in the handbook, but they make it very clear what is expected of you. In return for your willingness to live in an environment that is probably more restricted than what you are used to you will receive a quality education (accredidation is really not that big of a deal, I'm currently in a Graduate School of my choosing and had at least 4 other schools to accept my transcripts) and will meet unbelievable people who you will form lifelong friendships with. I know every college makes those claims and it's very true at PCC. One of the best things is that the student body interacts with each other on a daily basis so you're not limited in the people you can meet, actually it's almost impossible not to meet people completely different than you in personality and career goals. It's just as easy to interact with someone with a completely different major as it is with someone who is in all of your classes. Boredom will not be a problem either if you apply yourself to your classes and get involved in the activities on campus such as Collegiate Sports. Teachers are similar to other colleges in that some will be good and some will be poor, and that's just the way it is. The good thing about PCC is that you never have to worry if you're getting your money's worth because the classes are all packed with lectures and assignments to challenge and expand your knowledge base. Also grades are (for the most part) handed out fairly based on what you've earned, not on whether the teacher liked you. The campus is beautiful and the facilities are top notch. If you accept PCC for what it is (a conservative Christian College) and don't insist upon breaking the clearly stated rules you will have a wonderful experience and earn a great education. Too often people think they can just do what they want just because that's what they believe or how they feel with no regard for the boundaries that have been set for them. Many college graduates are weak in their ability to follow directions and do what they're told (things that are going to happen in any job). PCC is a great lesson in how to do what you're told; a four-year lesson actually. And for those who would dismiss this critique as being written by another PCCite or Cult member or whatever, that's not the case at all. I don't believe in or agree with all of PCC's methods or teachings, but I do believe the administrators have the right to determine those things and students have a responsibility to live their PCC lives according to the policies. Since I have graduated I now have the freedom to live my life according to what I believe, and I still have the experience of following directions that I learned at PCC and that I believe I would not have learned as effectively elsewhere.

The faculty and staff and PCC are genuinely caring, not just for my academic success, but for me personally. Those who have trouble with the rules are those who are rebellious, want to run wild, and have a general disrespect for those in authority. They just want to goof off and party all the time. If that is what you think college is, then PCC isn't the place for you. For all those who do nothing but complain about the rules, heed this comment: absolutely NO ONE is locking you in--no one is preventing you from going home or to another college. I know, I have been there. You should try a school like Bob Jones--much stricter and more rules. PCC is a great college, and may God bless them.
