I thoroughly enjoyed my art classes at PCC. The instructors were professional and helpful in every way. They were also available for me and demonstrated a godly spirit in their behavior and philosophy of life. That said, there were some aspects of the school that I didn't care for…the prevailing attitude seems to be more of a

you're a number, not a person,

but I can see how when you start getting into the 1000s it's hard to see each person individually. And that would only be as far as the student life area, not in my actual major (my teachers always saw us as individuals and treated us as such). At the end of my time there one of my favorite instructors and his wife were fired for a misdemeanor his son had been involved in. While I could see why the school would feel like they needed to dismiss them, it seemed like the way dismissals like this were done was just underhanded. A lot of times you'd come back to school and teachers would be gone and no-one would know why. I think if a teacher has given that much of his time and loyalty to an institution he deserves a respectable sendoff, especially if he wasn't the one who had done something wrong. :^(

Okay, on a more positive note again :^), I did make some of my best life-friends there, and these people are truly godly, iron-sharpening-iron friends. I will also say that I feel like I received a high quality of education there. I have since gotten a really good job that utilizes what I learned in my major. I do believe that PCC prepared me pretty well for a job in the secular world. In fact I've heard a lot of good comments about PCC graduates and how people like hiring them.
