I am currently finishing up my second and last year at Pierce. I am a running start student, so I'm still in high school, but will be recieving my AA in June. Some people might think the students at Pierce act like high schoolers, but that's cause most of us are. I guess my experience at Pierce may have been more positive than others, considering I wasn't expecting much, and it was just a way for me to get two years of college for free, but I still think Pierce is an awesome school. The faculty is VERY helpful - you just have to know how to speak up when you need help. Everyone at Pierce cares how you're doing, and wants you to be successful. The best thing about this school is the diversity. My high school (which is actually down the street from Pierce) is mostly white rich kids. Getting the experience of going to an extremely diverse school is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I've met every type of student in the book and I will never forget these years. I love/loved my time at Pierce.

I'm a recently graduated high school student that was in the state's "Running Start" program. I graduated with both my high school diploma and my Associates' of Art degree. The Puyallup campus has an increasing population of Running Start students, so the atmosphere can be a bit high school-like at times, but most people are quite friendly! The classes are taught by well educated professors, and most are very available for extra help. Like most schools, the amount of effort you put in will reflect in the quality of your education! :)

I would say that choosing to go to Pierce College Puyallup for my first two years of college was a great choice. The quality of education at Pierce is great, especially for the what you pay. The staff, for the most part, is well-qualified to teach each of thier respective subjects. I have also found the students to be friendly for the most part. The only thing that I don't like about going to Pierce College Puyallup is the lack of extra-curricular activities offered by the college. The sports program is held at the Pierce College Fort Steillacom campus, and rarely do the two campuses cross each other's paths. The selection of clubs available is also rather poor, but due only to lack of student interest, not due to lack of neglect by the college. All in all, I'd give Pierce College an 8 out of 10 score.
