The number of negative reviews should tell you the story. However, there are a few things (very few) that are good about the school. Mr. Birney and Dean Ohman do genuinely seem to care about your well being. I am speaking from my own experience (almost got the boot once), I have heard others' experiences to the contrary. Also from my experience, the academics are good. I have learned a lot from my teachers (Dr. Bostwick, Mr. Schmuck, Mr. Wasser, and Mr. Simpson). Mr. Simpson was one my favorites in my opinion, but he got the ax after letting his class skip the final if they were happy with their present grade in the class.

One word to describe the entire school: Cult. I was brought up in a strict Christian home…actually stricter in some ways than PCC. This place breeds hypocrisy. One minute a guy is your best friend, the next he is turning you in for listening to rock music (which is not allowed). Technically, you can't even listen to the Star Wars soundtrack, believe it or not! Although there have been good messages preached from the pulpit by Pastor Jim Schettler, sometimes the other speakers twist passages of scripture to manipulate the student body.

The administration wants to know everything about your life off campus. When going off, you must scan your card on a computer at the dorm. Then, you must select where you are going from a list of preapproved places to go. Be careful! If you check out to Pizza Hut and go to McD's instead, you will be campused if caught (again from experience)! Campusing means you may NOT leave campus (aka "the bubble") for 2 weeks, or more depending on the dean's discretion.

The dorms have just been upgraded with wireless networks that allow very limited access to the internet. How limited, you might ask? Well, for one, you can't get to eBay. But that's what WiFi spots are for, right? Students now have access to a limited email address provided by the school. But don't plan on getting any pictures from home or any other attachments. Oh, and watch your language, demerits will be given for anything past the word "sucks." Someone checks emails to see if they are "appropriate."

One last thing, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT touch a girl for any reason. You will be socialed, which means that you are not allowed to even speak to the opposite sex for 2 whole weeks! And make sure you are not talking to a member of the opposite sex before or after social hours. My roommate was socialed for one week because he met his girlfriend for breakfast a few minutes before that magical time began when it becomes ok to converse with the opposite sex.

To sum it up: DO NOT ATTEND, even though the academics are good and the price is cheap, dealing with hypocrisy and a Communist type system is not worth it.
