A negative review... does this sound much like someone seeking God's will? Most of the reviews were like this one.
You will not play Poker with your buddies and you definitely will not be playing strip poker with any sweet ladies...unless you are into your roomates, which i have heard rumors about, not that I'm judging!! Basically, if you chose to attend this college you will give up every right to freedom of expression and freedom of speech,your rights to peaceful assembly, and your God given right to check out some sweet honeys on the beach. my point is, make sure your ready for the sacrifices you will have to make, be prepared for a complete lack of trust, and a serious double standard.
it's your decision, but i think you should educate yourself as to the policies and practices of any college before you even think about attending.
nothin but love ya'll powell
Here's my favorite.. two positives... I especially like what the girl in the bottom one said "Whiners outnumber the praisers in this world."
As far as academics, PCC is quite challenging. Professors are kind and knowledgeable. Socially, the only ones who have problems are the ones who whine about the rules and turn into undesirable sour grapes. Spiritually, I was in awe the first week at the revival (athough it has taken some time getting use to a hymnal again...but I like it)
No, PCC is not for everyone.If it were there would be more than 4500 students. I would not have recommended it to myself in high school, ( Quite an odd statement , but you get my point) PCC is for a person who is willing to put everything into four years at a God-honoring, christian college and is willing to give up freedom to accomplish that purpose.
The saddest thing to see is a complainer. A graduate who complains about the time they had a PCC or an undergraduate student complaining abut the "legalistic" rules, needs to get a attitude check and realize that God has placed us in situations for service not selfishness. Everything is life isn't fair, so grow up.
If you don't want to be at PCC, don't come. I discovered that personal priorities must be God's priorities or one will be completely miserable. If your reasons for going somewhere else stem from rebellion or selfishness you will fall flat on your face. If God wants you at another institution, but you come to PCC just because it's cheap then that's pretty sad, and you will end up as one of the sour grapes thinking that you are hot stuff due to the many PCC jokes you drum up at the Four Winds (dining area).
I've learned so much about God's Word at PCC (it's preached all the time). I've enjoyed the christian atmosphere ( not perfect, but I haven't seen better.) It's four years at a place that strives to serve the Lord, check it out.
Above we are asked to not "reply" to other reviews and I will no reply specifically to any. I honestly was close to tears as I read all of these sad reviews of a wonderful school. To anyone who is reading these please consider this: in life who do you hear from more, happy people or mad people? If you go through a drive through and the order that comes to you is right, how many people look at the person working the window and say, "Thank you for getting my order right." Realistically, those who the person working at the window will hear from is the person who is angry because their order is wrong--the person who threatens to never eat hear again because that person made a mistake. Honestly, I myself rarely am that one to make a positive comment on a job well done. We do live in a very negative society. With road rage, "my rights" promoters, people looking for a free dollar because they were "done wrong", etc. we hear the negative side of everything. Please don't take the number of negative comments on here as "proof" that PCC is a "bad place". On the contrary, if you are not a rebellious "buck-the-system" type person, PCC may be for you. But seek God's will, not these opinions. I challenge anyone who is feeling that God may be leading in the direction of PCC to go visit the campus for himself/herself. Talk to the student body. Get many opinions. Stay in the dorm. Seek to know for yourself. DON'T CLOSE OUT GOD'S WILL BECAUSE WHINERS OUT-NUMBER THE PRAISERS IN THIS WORLD. Pray. Seek the Lord. PCC is not a cult, it is a place that is set apart for the training of Christian young people. If PCC is not God's will for you, please don't hurt the wonderful student body by becoming a part of it. If it is God's will, come, knowing that God has a wonderful plan for you, and He is going to accomplish that plan through what He does in your heart and life at PCC. I love this place and it hurts to think that some people may get an unrealistic view. Come see for yourself what the truth is. I challenge you.
