Pensacola Christian College

PCC has helped me quite a lot. Its rules are very strict, but they help provide structure in my life. Most rules were helpful in getting used to the real world.

Should have known that it's not accredited -- if you decide to transfer or go on to grad school, your grades better be good or you may have a hard time getting accepted.Recommend that you visit the school and stay for a couple of days because PCC is not for everyone (I should know -- I was kicked out . . . ).

PCC has been a two edged sword for me. The good side--being there was God's will and with His will comes trials. But through all these trials, I grew and learned. It took me a while to find a job in the major I learned, but I didn't sit back and expect a job to fall in my lap. I prayed and prayed and prayed and looked. I finally work at a great job in my major with great people. All the credit should go to the excellent teachers at PCC. They taught, corrected, encouraged, and supported me through my classes. And yes, even bled all over my term papers in red ink. But without them, I would not have learned what I know now and it's invaluable!

The other side---PCC loves guilt trips, repetative and frequently inapplicable sermons, and hypocrisy. They also like to punish those who do not deserve punishment. Those who do need punishment get away scott free. Even when you try to submit and follow the rules, which are vast and often ridiculous, they are those power hungry, ego maniacs who wield their "power" with awesome viciousness. I do not think that a lot of the administration is to blame. I have known some of them and I thank them for what they taught me. I do blame all the little ego maniacs with their power trips. The school would be great if you could separate the teachers from their retarded system! The education is top notch, but the "system" could be equated to a triple root canal without pain killers.But please let me add this, those at PCC are human and humans sin and err. And when humans are full of pride they can become blinded to it and do stupid things. I believe that PCC has become blinded with their pride and if they do not humble themselves, God will. I can only pray that they realize what's going on before they end up like all the other "Christian" colleges. If you want a college to go to, I suggest you pray pray pray pray and look. If God leads you to PCC, He will help you through it. He helped me in more ways than I can give voice to, even with eternity!

PCC is okay for those who are majoring in a Pastoral ministry of some sort but for those who are majoring in fields that need accreditation, you are in for one big surprise. As for those people who were raised on farms or on base, PCC is their home away from home and they love it. For those who are home-schooled, this is the only chance that they get to be out and learning without a television in front of their faces. If you want to shake hands with the opposite sex or just want to be alone with that special someone, don't bother to come to PCC because they will make sure that they know when you are getting married and if you plan to get a divorce. Overall, if you want to go to college, Pensacola Christian Center is not the place for you.
