I have only been attending PRCC for one semester, and I absolutely love it . First of all, I have GREAT teachers! They encourage questions and discussions, while being very informative. Wich is my second point. I have learned more at PRCC in one semester than I did in high school. I definitely recommend attending PRCC. -nursing student

Teachers and staff are the best. Very engaged with students. Family-like environment. Beautiful campus. Teachers have an open door policy and are always available to assist student. Course work is challenging, not too difficult or too easy. Quality education at a great price.

Its an amazing school! Not only is PRCC rated 23 of the top best 25 community colleges in the US, but it is also an academically challenging school. Its basically like your in a small university. Amazing campus, beyond amazing professors and the best experience in my opinion. High reccommend this community college. Its great! (:

PRCC is a great school, and have had great experience there. Although, chemistry professor on Hattiesburg campus is horrible. Monotone, not thorough what so ever, slow, gets all homework due dates messed up, takes 2 weeks to grade anything, tests on stuff he Never mentions or has on PowerPoints, you have to teach yourself.

Internet sucks, ebooks are a mandatory expense and most classes don't even use them.

This school offers nothing but classes. There are no social opportunities when you arrive. If you don't come to PRCC with friends, you will probably not make any. The dorms are awful. The head residents are even worse. Lots of bugs, mildew, and rust. The cafe serves very limited options. Burgers and chicken almost every day. Not a very healthy menu
