The only little problem is that The computers in the Math classes are not working at all. they really need to be upgraded to better laptops so all students can be able to use .. some laptops the mouse is broken, some laptops wont turn on or log you out.

It's a good place to start your High Ed academic journey. It's going to save you a lot of money, and you're going to be able to transfer your credits to a 4 year college.

look at the campuses this colleges so Poor has no vision for the future has not build any of the campuses for the students I believe Prince Georges County is bigger than Macgomery County but they have rented space in old office buildings they do not care about the student population .. Go visit the main Campus and look at the track all worn out

Pgcc is the worst school every. It is very unorganized. The staff members are very rude and disrespectful. The college is more like a high school then a college. There advisors do not know much about the system if you want to transfer you need to find out everything on your own. The school is always going through some type of outage. It is just bad

The exams are not going from the text books. The professor make the exams from their head .It good be more organized.
Overall 1.6
This school is a joke, it really is. This place feels like what happens when kids pretend to be teachers except these teachers are much more afraid to actually teach. Most of them stick strictly to what the textbook says and offer no extra knowledge; almost as if they themselves are learning the content as they "teach" it to you.
