I am unfortunately in the class of 2014 that is paying 15% more for tuition than previous classes. My tuition and room and board next year will be over $56,000. I can tell you right now that this school is not worth that exorbitant price. The quality of the education here is average at best. I've had some really mediocre professors this past year and this school has so many requirements that it is difficult to pursue classes that you are interested in. I was hoping to minor in art, but DWC makes it impossible to pick up 3 hour art classes since I have that class every day in the middle of the day (was not able to pick time, it is assigned to all freshmen). Also, there is an abundance of theology and Catholicism at this school. Every paper I've had to write this year revolves around the Catholic Church. I feel like that's all I'm studying. Another disturbing thing about this school is that it is not in a safe area. Every week we get an email about another student that has been stabbed or robbed,because students are forced to party off campus. This is an intensely strict school and probably 50% of students are on probation. Trust me when I tell you that you should think long and hard about whether you really want to attend this school.

PC is a great environment, I am a first year student and have had very little trouble adapting to life here at PC. While it takes some time (for me at least) to get used to the party scene (lots of drinking on the weekends) if you look you WILL find other things to do around campus. McFail's the on campus bar is a great place to watch games on TV and the PC basketball team is a lot of fun to watch...season tickets are a must! All and all Friar town is a great place to attend college, I recommend it

College life here is pretty good i would say. i came here for the quality of the education and because of the prestigious reputation of the college. There is a lot of work, but civ isn't so bad if you get good professors and especially if the material interests you. It is a big party school, theres somewhere to go every night of the week, and theres always some people that go out most nights. Parietals suck and are probably the worst part of the college. It makes you feel like your in high school again with a curfew. You can get away with it sometimes in the guys dorms if your careful. Being in a dorm with all guys kind of sucks too, even though every one i met have become my good friends. The people are all friendly, I made a lot of friends right away, and the facilities are really nice. As far as the food, go as much as you can to slavin, but ray isn't too bad, it might just take some getting used to and you find yourself getting the same thing over and over. There's always a lot to do on and off campus, lots of clubs and intramurals are fun. Overall great academics and facilities, friendly people, and a lot to do, a good choice for a college if your considering it
