Had a very good experience and learned some good things to assist in my career. PCC is a Christian school. If you're not like minded in your philosophy, this isn't the place for you. They're very upfront about that in their literature—and in the name of the institution!

I can't say I always agreed with the school, but then after completing a graduate degree at a state university, I'd say the same thing about that school. PCC is a crucible. If you're not a Christian and are intent to live a worldly life, then PCC is not the place for you. You'd be better off going elsewhere. If you do go to PCC, you'll be miserable. That's not their fault. People who don't agree to comply with the school's values are not allowed to drag the rest of the student body down. I'm thankful for this. I'm thankful for a school where I didn't have to worry about not being able to sleep before exams due to loud parties next door. I'm thankful I don't have to worry about my car being vandalized by the group of students hanging out in the parking lot drinking. I'm thankful that a professor isn't going to "make" me write a paper advocating a philosophy I disagree with just to earn a good grade. These were all concerns in my graduate work.

There are things about PCC that I'd love to see changed. Some of those things have changed since I graduated. I'm thankful that this school is where the Lord brought me for my undergraduate work. If the Lord leads you here, he'll uphold, guide, and protect you. If you couldn't care less about such things, then go to a different school. You'll be miserable at PCC (by design).
