Professors are great teachers and truly dedicated to helping students learn. They are accessible, and some even give you their cell phone number and tell you to call, day or night. There are a few not-so-stellar professors, but most are wonderful. The work is fairly challenging but not overwhelming. You really do learn here. PC also offers great merit scholarships and pretty good financial aid. However, in my opinion, the other aspects of the school leave much to be desired, which is why I'm now looking at transferring. The surrounding town of Clinton is very dull and run-down. All there is to do on the weekends is go home or party at the frat houses. If that's your cup of tea, I say go for it, but I found out soon enough that it wasn't mine. Greek life dominates the campus. There is a huge divide between Greek and non-Greek students. There are a few other activities on campus, but they're not very well-funded and students are generally very apathetic about them. The typical student is white, rich, preppy, very conservative, and only concerned with going out on the weekends. There is a small group of evangelical Christians, but they are definitely in the minority. Unfortunately, there are only a few liberal and global-minded students, maybe explaining why I didn't click with these particular students. If I could do it all over again, I would have done more research and probably ended up somewhere else. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Surrounding City: F Have a Question?

Having said that, did I receive a good education? Yes. Did I chose the right major? No. But, hey - you're 18, on your own, what the hell do you really know about the outside world? Liberal arts is great if you're def planning on grad school - which I did, thank God. PC got me into the #2 Nationally ranked MPA program (and still is). If you're going to stay in the South - and by that I mean South Carolina, Georgia and limited parts of North Carolina, the PC name pays off. It's a beautiful campus. My only concern of late (as an alumni) is the huge - and I do mean huge - investment that PC has made in athletics. My last trip through campus looked like an ad for Abercrombie where all the dudes where on steroids. But maybe that's the way all colleges look these days. Suffice to say, it's a hard-core, Southern, prep and jock school, the fraternities still rock (hell yeah!), Clinton still sucks as a town, and you can transition easily from your public or private HS to PC with little or no effort. But *watch out*: PC is as tough as everyone says it is. It maybe full of jocks and preps - but they're damn smart ones. Preparedness: F, Reputation: B+ Have a Question?

They expect a lot from you but are all willing to help in way possible. Many professors will even give thei home numbers to you, just in case. The school is in a small town, so be forwarned. The student body is not extremely diverse, but I have visited many colleges where it is much worse. It was a great experience and would reccomend anyone that is up for a challenge to attend.

It's a great place to learn and grow as a person. I am now in grad school and feel that my PC experience prepared me very well for it. In my opinion, PC is just a great place. Go Blue Hose!
