My experience at PCC was not an overall positive one. While the college does offer quality academics in some majors, others are staffed with recent graduates who have no real world experience. It's also very affordable, but one also needs to consider the old but true clich that

you get what you pay for.

In short, life at PCC becomes an extension of your childhood.

I'll grant that others haven't been through the very negative ordeal I experienced firsthand with PCC's administration, and most can't understand that a "Christian" administration would even act that way. My experience is a unique one.

Still, I don't hate the college, and I thank God that I experienced what I did because I'm a stronger person now for having gone through it. It changed me from being timid and allowing myself to be walked on emotionally by others. I finally take a stand for what I believe in, something I never had to do at PCC.

And while I still cannot recommend the college, I would still suggest that if you are interested in the school—don't just dismiss so many negative reviews of the college here as "internet rumor".

Also, check for opinions on pccboard.com and read the archives of the PCC Student Handbooks on pensacolachristiancollege.com—while there are still many unwritten rules that PCC doesn't publish in the Handbook, it will give you a good idea of what you're in for. Just one look at the section on what types of Music are not allowed is something I would like to have known before I attended. If you're an avid listener to CCM—if you find such music spiritually uplifting and encouraging—and you still decide to attend PCC, be prepared to spend FOUR LONG YEARS without CCM because it's not permitted there.

In other words, don't go to the school blindly. Visit the college beforehand and don't be afraid to ask questions and observe carefully how people answer. If you sense any doublespeak or that people just aren't being genuine, that should be an immediate red flag to you. Also, call the college in advance and ask for a copy of the Student Handbook. They'll try to send you a copy of the College Catalog instead, but insist that you need a copy of the official PCC Student Handbook. And when they tell you that they can't do that, ask them why.

There are other Christian colleges and universities that offer a liberal arts degree besides PCC. And in spite of PCC's propagandish slander of secular colleges, you can get a quality education there and you could possibly even become a stronger Christian because you would actually have to take a stand for Christ by being identified as a Christian. You could go through four years at PCC and never once have to defend your faith or your biblical views.

Keep an open mind, research the college, educate yourself, listen to the advice and wisdom of those you respect, and put a lot of thought and prayer into it, and then make an informed decision about where you want to go to college.
