WHAT I LIKED

PCC is a very inclusive community with highly experienced professors who teach not only at PCC, but at PSU, Lane, Lewis and Clark and Reed colleges. The value for the credits and the learning is phenomenal.

It can be a tad bit casual compared to a university experience.

4.0

WHAT I LIKED

The teachers were very supportive of me and would advise me on what needed to be done. The advisors were also very helpful for both career picking and figuring out which classes to take for transferring.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

I started PCC when they went online which was really inconvenient sometimes. Some classes would've been a lot better in-person, so it was unfortunate that I was unable to take those classes in person.

2.0

WHAT I LIKED

It is a decent school, considering its status there isn't much you can ask for. Most classes are remote and fill out quickly so that is something you should be quick with. Most instructors are nice and calm.

WHAT I didn’t LIKE

The lack of social life, most classes are remote so there is no chance to make friends. Classes tend to be very long and usually stretch one topic for a little too long.
