Major: PreLaw and Legal (This Major's Salary over time)
Academics: PCC is an excellent preparation for law school. Their curriculum is very strong on the basics; it's not Ivy League quality or difficulty, but it is still very sound. I was well prepared for law school. PCC's non-accredited status does NOT hurt your chances of getting into a good law school. It just doesn't help them. Law schools will put more empahsis on your LSAT score since they don't know anything about PCC. If you do well on the LSAT (relative to the school's statistics that you wish to attend), law schools won't care about PCC as long as your GPA is good. I know a number of graduates who have been accepted to numerous top 25 law schools and received scholarships to these schools as well. For example, my friend was told by the admissions office at University of Southern Cal (#18) that the undergrad had to be accredited. My friend applied anyway, got accepted, and was offered a partial scholarship. So just look at the school's median to 75th % LSAT score. If your score is in the range, PCC's not being accrdited will not affect you. Once you're in law school, your ability to get a job will be based on your law GPA. Once again, going to PCC won't hurt you in interviewing, but it probably won't help you either. However, the strong writing skills and basic understanding of a variety of subjects that you learned at PCC may improve your law school GPA.

SOCIAL LIFE: Unless you were raised in a VERY sheltered home, the rules will seem unreasonably strict. So you might as well spend your time studying. Make sure you understand what you're getting into before you go there. If it's too strict for you, there is no point in being miserable. Alot of this can depend upon the friends you choose and the roommates/floorleaders you are stuck with. If you can handle the rules, the low cost and good education is a benefit. But don't fool yourself into thinking the rules "aren't that bad." They are. Just decide before you go whether you can follow their standards for four years.
