As far as the administration and rules are concerned, I can honestly say that I was so looking forward to the day when I graduated and drove out of Main Gate with my diploma.  One of the things that upset me about PCC was the attitude of many of the dean's assistants and floor leaders that walk the campus of PCC and think that it is all up to them to see that every infraction of the rules is found out and dealt with.  It's all that some of them seem to live for!  They seem to forget the fact that God is aware of who is doing what and that He can deal with someone who is breaking a rule much better than a floor leader can, should they happen to miss a top button being unbuttoned or an extra napkin being taken from the napkin dispenser at the Four Winds.  I don't mean to be sarcastic or disrespectful, I am simply saying that many of the people there in disciplinary authority (whether they be dean's assistants or floor leaders) take rule enforcement to an extreme by mistreating those around them who may break even the most minor rule and nearly always suspecting guilt before hearing the facts.  Many of the rules on campus may make things run more efficiently, but this efficiency almost always comes at the expense of the students' need to mature as the adults they are and learn to make their own moral decisions in life before God.  This attempt by the school to control nearly every aspect of its students' lives (as well as the lives of its staff and faculty — I've read the staff handbook) often unnecessarily creates a stressful and oppressive environment on campus.

I could give many personal stories about my experiences during my four years on the campus of PCC — good and bad.  I will say that there are many good things about the campus, as many of you who read this know: the food (relative to other colleges' food), the facilities, and my favorite part as I mentioned before, the friends (Good!  I got in my 3-point, alliterated outline :)).  If you are a high school student looking for a college, I suggest you visit and see what the campus is like for yourself.  I also would suggest that you dress like a PCC student and do not wear your guest badge as you walk around campus (only pull it out for entrance to the dining halls and the Sports Center).  That way, you can better know how you would be treated if you were a normal PCC student because people won't be able to tell as easily that you are a guest.
