Major: PreMed and Medical (This Major's Salary over time)
I am a real student who graduated from PCC in 2002.

The positives about this school were the safe environment, friendly students (for the most part anyway) and helpful faculty (again, for the most part). The buildings are beautiful and the cost is amazingly low (ask yourself why). The negatives were the UNWRITTEN RULES (there are many that they don't tell you about until you are a student!!) and the fact that you can't transfer credits anywhere. Personally this has been a HUGE headache for me as PCC refuses to become even regionally accredited. I credit the staff—they will graciously go out of their way to send info about PCC's academic programs to whatever school you want it sent to, but it makes NO DIFFERENCE in your acceptance since PCC is not accredited. I was a premed student who switched my major to biology and I am presently trying to complete a paramedic program. I am taking a paramedic program in order to transition into nursing. I would have completed a nursing degree by now if my PCC credits were not rejected by several colleges.

I wish that I had gone to a local college—I am sure that I would have graduated at the top of my class instead of struggling at PCC (the education is "good" but extremely challenging, and I was a high school valedictorian).

One of the other major problems with PCC is that they concentrate on RULES and outward appearance while missing the fact that true Christianity should reach the heart. I am nowhere near as conservative a person as when I was a student there (I am, in fact, a single mom). I think that like many students I felt so chained down so when I got out of the college I felt like I could run free. Don't make the mistake that I did—consider carefully where you go to school and what you do with your life afterward. Visit colleges, ask alot of questions and decided for yourself where you should go. Best wishes.
