Despite all the backlash for the "excessive rules," I've very much enjoyed my time here. It isn't as strict as others claim it to be. Very friendly atmosphere, helpful teachers, and an inspiring student body.

PCC is an excellent Christian College that allows students the opportunity of recieving the best education possible.
Overall 4.4
PCC has such a bad reputation for it's rules and such. The new president has made the school amazing by ending any rules that were dumb or pointless. The school really is great and you wouldn't regret coming here.

Great school! The new president has made numerous positive changes!

The school has some rules that most people would not accept. If you go into the college knowing that there are almost military style rules, including ones you won't know until you get there, you'll be fine. Most of the instructors genuinely care about not just your grades, but also your well-being. The nursing program is especially thorough.

It is not hard to make friends here. Not only that, but the professors and other faculty are incredible. There are some that argue that Student Life are overbearing, but I wouldn't say so. Dress code isn't as bad as people say. Besides, it would kind of suck if people were coming to class in their pajamas.

Literally everything you hear about this place is true, if you can afford to go some where else then you should.

First of all, campus ground is in such a great shape because fellow students wake up at 5am and start working outside,cold or hot weather.For minimum wage.I transferred to Pensacola State and out of my 52 credit hours they only accepted 12.Do not go there,it is waste of time!!!

The school is a waste of time. Don't bother. Stop. Go Back. Quit considering this school. I went to school here for 4 years and graduated. Their academic program was out of date for computer science and they aren't accredited so if you get expelled for any of their ludacrous rules (which is highly likely) they won't transfer anywhere.

READ CAREFULLY everything you can BEFORE committing!
Overall 1.9
Many of the classes are just outdated. go there if you like to be treated less than a person and talked down to. They treat you like crap and you cant say anything back to defend yourself and your reputation or you get kicked out. Its an EXPENSIVE DAY CARE CENTER!! i got anxiety attacks and had to run off the campus at times. They're mental! RUN!!

Unreasonable rules, horrible curfews.

The primary issue is accreditation. If you plan to do anything academically beyond the christian college environment, you will need to be aware of issues with transfer credits and with the legitimacy of your degree. Rules are extreme. Even if you prefer coffee shops to a house party, you are not given adult autonomy. Research before committing.
