Pasadena City College is a good school with some of the best staff around and boasts a more than decent looking campus, however, every school has its dark side and somehow, this has been plagueing schools for a while but I believe that the negative aspects of the school involves its students.

The students are not really too serious about their education and some of them are, for the lack of better terms, pretty weird or crazy. I've met some that are so misinformed about laws, literature and arts that I wonder about where they even to for school. For example, I've met a student in PCC that claimed that we should sue writers or authors that are using public domain characters (characters in stories who are not copyrighted due to them being too old or aren't copyrightable, the public owns these stories not a company or person according to the definition that's provided by Stanford University, so they could be used or modified in any way in a different work). He thinks that we should start issuing lawsuits left and right because he thinks that the usage of unpatented, public domain characters is copyright infringement and apparently, this includes John Milton because he reinterpreted biblical characters (public domain characters) in "Paradise Lost". Don't let this guy into the English department to read "Paradise Lost" then, since he'll probably start freaking out.

I also met another person who wants to be in a cult (he's about 20 years old or so) and he admires people like Marshall Applewhite and Jim Jones (these 2 are also responsible for group and mass suicides related to cults). I actually want to stay away from this guy but I have to wait another semester before that happens.

The school's rooms are also pretty old, I don't mind older buildings so long as there is a sense of history or culture involved with their architecture (such as the castles or older buildings of Europe), but these buildings just seem so plain and boring and there is little art involved with these buildings making the learning environment very plain. The room that I was in also had a dead beetle in the window frame showing you how bad the buildings are.

But other than the crazy students and old buildings, I don't have too many complaints.
