This is more or less me on the
outside looking in (at this point in my life), but nonetheless feel it
is important to shed some light.
I grew up in an Independent, Fundamental Baptist househould and as such
attended "Christian" schools accordingly. From the time I was in eighth
grade, college recruiters from PCC were visiting my schools and hellbent
on my friends and I to enroll. For those who were never apart of the
Independent Fundamental Baptist cult (let's just call it for what it
is), the only plausible options for us following High School was one of
three colleges (PCC being one of them) or the military. I chose the
latter, and even as such have received negative reactions to my life
choice. The immediate reaction to telling these college recruiters that
"I'm considering multiple options for life after High School" was them
becoming flustered and visually frustrated. I can see that PCC does not
have their stats posted (i.e. graduation/acceptance rate) but judging
off of that I'd wager it's not that good.
Anyhow, I'm reaching the end of my undergrad tenure and am looking for
grad school options. My curiosity got the better of me, which led me
here. Based off of what I'm seeing, it doesn't really look like much has
changed. Having lived in Saudi Arabia, I can tell you that their school
rules almost mirror that of the gulf state. But honestly that's an
insult to the Saudis. The Saudis are much more hospitable, friendly, and
believe it or not more open to discourse than the likes of PCC.
In retrospect, I thank God for not having the opportunity to attend here
and myself for not making the decision to enroll.
For any prospective students, there are much more fruitful opportunities
than enduring a draconian system which you will not find very forgiving.

I went here for several years. I loved the nursing program but sad to
say the school is not edifying for your Christian walk. I was off campus
student and they wouldn't allow me to go to church off campus with my
husband and his grandparents. Instead they forced me to go to their
church. It is NOT a friendly environment. All they care about is rules
instead of encouraging and building you up in your Christian walk. Yeah
it's cheap but is it worth it if you can't grow in your spiritual life?
Meryl Montgomery (November 2022)
Crackpot unaccredited school. It's
awesome if you want to sing hymns, be a pastor, or obtain a worthless
degree. Other than that don't bother and use your money on a REAL
degree.
JORN ANDERSON (September 2022)
17 years later and I'm still shaking off the trauma. So many
extra-biblical rules it'll make your head spin. Great place for
Pharisaical training if your into that. The rule book has more rules
than the Bible.
Trey Topper (May 2022)
Fundamentalism is a cancer to Christianity. You're better off going
literally anywhere else for school and being an adult and maintaining
your faith through your own church, not relying on the pre-k way this
school rules their students. Up there with BYU in control freak levels.
Meghan Sturm (April 2022)
Happy to see that their student policy was changed; but still, to tell a
student he can not graduate because of a natural hair style is such a
slap in the face to Christian beliefs.
The Old Testament speaks of Samson, who’s strength & connection to the
lord was his hair! His own wife betrayed him, and severed his hair while
he slept. The bible teaches us to love our neighbor no matter their
looks, or how they keep their hair.
This situation should NOT have even happened. Very disappointed.
Bobby Bandz (April 2022)
If u are a person of color don’t go to this school. From my personal
experience from going here I learned the school specifically targets
people of color and strips them of EVERYTHING that’s makes them them.
These is no God here. They use Gods name to create their own rules and
make it seem like if you are not following their rules you are
disobeying God. Lol can’t believe these people
Andrew McDonald (2020)
I cannot warn you enough. DO NOT GO HERE FOR COLLEGE!
I attended and got my double major in management and marketing at this
school. Academically, there was much to be desired. While most teachers
care for their students, the curriculum and requirements are not nearly
as involved as other institutions.
Outside of the academics, your time at PCC will be a literal hell of
Student Life watching your every move. This includes them sending scouts
into town during church services and required events to ensure students
are not skipping these things. They will send a student life person to
scan parking lots of other churches to make sure your vehicle isn’t
there, and that you’re not visiting any other church but Campus Church.
They will get out, and walk into area restaurants and coffee shops to
check if there are students there during church services and required
activities.
Your salvation will be questioned if you don’t comply with the various
rules, and if you make a mistake, there is no mercy.
Not to mention, there are so many unwritten rules. Student Life
representatives have a pompous attitude, and have absolutely no care for
the individual student.
The theology of the Campus Church is completely contrary to the Gospel.
They’ll preach that God will not bless you unless you comply, and God
cannot be glorified unless your will is broken at the foot of the
colleges rules and requirements. You’ll constantly feel like you’ll
never be able to glorify God unless you follow the rules.
This place is designed to brainwash you into their bizarre way of
thinking. You’ll meet some great people along the way possibly, but
you’ll all share in your horrible experience later on and that will be
your connection to each other.
Amanda Shimel (January 2022)
This place is the epitome of evil and extremism. I cannot begin to
explain the trauma this place caused me to experience. Stay far far away
if you can. This place is EVIL. It is not based on Gods will. It’s a
cult in its own right! Ten years later and I still have nightmares from
this place and that is no lie. I wish I could give zero stars.
Ashley Howard (February 2022)
They discriminate against people with disabilities here. They do not
provide the legally required accommodations for dyslexia as stated by
the ADA. They’re only advice for dyslexic students is to take a time
management course, which is NOT helpful to the disability! Do not go
here if you are disabled!!!
Bradley (2021)
If you want to continue traumatizing your son or daughter, this is an
amazing place!
Not sure if you believe in eternal conscious torment based on the
supposed goodness of God? Why not start with a 2 or 4 year version of
hell and go from there?
Pensacola Christiantrumpworshipping College—for a rigid,
indoctrination-based education and toxic community, whereby parents with
undiagnosed trauma and a lack of emotional well-being can extend their
children’s psychological beat down well into early adulthood.
Support Mental Health professionals income for the rest of their lives!
Dig deep into emotional and spiritual abuse!
Kaleb Curl (2019)
I was raised in a church that went here for summer camps for the youth
group. The camps were fun, don't get me wrong, but the rules here are so
extreme. I now know seven people that have attended this school,
including one that even got kicked out for disobeying dress code. At
this college, they are so blindly caught up in "religion," as opposed to
teaching people how to have a genuine relationship with God, and even
with other people. This college literally penalizes couples for holding
hands or even resting a head on the other's shoulder. That absolutely
does not in any way teach love, compassion, kindness, or caring, which
are in themselves fruits of the spirit. That being said, along with all
of the other rules in place, this school lacks spiritual fruit. And they
brainwash their students to believe that if anyone says anything or does
anything against their rules, that they are weak Christians. Seriously,
what person has the divine right to judge on whether or not someone is a
"weak" Christian? It is more or less a cult built upon very hypocritical
"Christian values" that don't actually exist in the eyes of God. They
want nothing more than for you to follow their oppressive rules and shun
those who don't instead of trying to show the love of God. The only good
thing about this school is the groups of friends that are made
sporadically throughout the college over time. Amongst themselves, these
people are the true Christian leaders and examples of our time that are
able to recognize false teachings and hypocritical behavior and respond
by pouring out the true love of God to all of those who are in need.
Nini Shi (October 2022)
You can literally get kicked out for not tucking in your shirt…
L M (2018)
I would not recommend that anyone go to this school. I have watched
friends of mine go to this school and they have only gotten more liberal
or rebellious since they've been there...it saddens me. A lot of their
rules are just plain ridiculous. The way that they try to manipulate
their students is nothing short of insane. It's a cult in every aspect
of the word. If people still decide to go here, that's their business.
But to all prospective students, please research this place and make
sure you know what you're walking into!
Nick Harrison (2019)
I'm a 2018 graduate of PCC and I went here for all 4 years. It's really
sad that this place calls itself Christian, its legalistic places like
pcc that give Christians a bad name. They do have a lot of rules
regulating most areas of life. I was treated very poorly and rude by
several "Christians" on staff and faculty and I saw many of my friends
treated the same way. I've personally seen people who were once people I
would hang out with, when given positions of leadership become
legalistic monsters taking joy in getting as many students in trouble as
possible, and this is done in the name of Christ! As a student you are
guilty until proven innocent and can be kicked out just because someone
accuses you of something. I'm also not sure the academics are the
greatest either. There was almost no classroom discussion and students
are not encouraged to formulate their own opinions but just repeat back
what they're told. We even used high school textbooks for several
classes. Needless to say, when I entered the real work world I found out
that employers want you to think for yourself instead of just repeating
back to them what they want to hear, this was a skill I had to develop
on my own because I was never challenged or taught that way at PCC. I've
heard people say stuff like "if you don't like it just leave", or "you
signed saying you agreed to follow the rules so don't complain". Well
leaving is not always possible for everyone, some parents force their
kids to go here, I had to go because it was cheap and I knew about the
rules but I'm a Christian so I thought I'd be ok for 4 years. I really
wanted to leave but my credits wouldn't transfer because PCC doesn't
have the best accreditation, so every year I had to sign saying I'd
follow the rules because I was stuck, I couldn't leave without losing
the time and money I had already put in so while I technically could
have left, realistically I had no other choice but to stay and finish.
If I wasn't a real Christian and I went here I probably would have left
Christianity. Christ died for our sins so we could live free, not so we
would have to live under the burden of man-made rules. Now I think I can
call PCC a cult, there's brainwashing, they trap you there, and they
misunderstand the point of Christianity. Don't go here cause its cheap,
its not worth the headache and you'll get the quality of education you
pay for. Parents, don't force your kids to go here unless you want to
risk them resenting you and possibly being pushed away from Christianity
altogether when they see the fakeness of it at PCC. I did not write this
to be a hateful comment or to slander the school but I felt I needed to
say something because I'm somebody who experienced this place for real
and was hurt by it.
Robert Lindblad (2020)
my sister in law went to this ridiculous college. I feel so bad for her
being duped by these charlatans. They charged get all the graduating
fees, she walked with pomp and circumstance, blah blah blah. Fast
forward a year, someone calls to verify her graduation and the school
tells them she never graduated. When she looked into it they claimed
they had mailed her a letter telling her she didn't graduate, which she
never received. The reason given was that her typing speed was not up to
requirements, even though she had a passing grade in the class (??). Now
it's costing her even more money, AND they never mailed her diploma.
Come to find out, there are tons of similar cases of them extorting
people for extra money in ways like this. this place should be shut
down. it's a disgrace to the Christian faith.
Sarah Mitchell (2017)
I was a student from 2013 to 2016 and had grown up on a farm. I chose
PCC so I could have a quality, Christian education, but was disappointed
to find a lookism culture on a "Christian" campus - if you do not look,
act, and think the way they want you to, you will feel ostracized and
may receive demerits. Monitors are placed both on and off campus (some
of whom hide behind trees and bushes outside and potted plants inside
buildings in order to 'catch' students doing something contrary to the
rules). They even say, God gave them authority over the students and to
disobey them is to disobey Him (even if you can't find most of their
rules in the Bible). I understand and appreciate some of their rules,
but others are in place simply so that they can manipulate and control
the students. Some were just confusing - for example, you can have
blue-tooth earpieces, but you cannot have earbuds. They do not accept
federal financial aid (no FAFSA or grants) and their education cannot be
written off as a tax deduction (1098-T form). The campus was beautiful
and the sports center (when it wasn't full) was fun, but I can't
recommend the food - it is good for the first week or so. Many of the
staff were sincerely friendly, but most were not. I am so glad that I
began again at another college! (Not transfer - none of my credits
would, but other students have been able to transfer some). I would not
recommend this college to anyone.
Jillena Rose (2016)
I would never recommend this school to anyone unless you'd prefer to be
in jail cell for four years. Whether it was being judge by what you wear
every single day as you walk out of your residents hall or not being
able to show common courtesy by shaking hands from the opposite sex. I
thought it was going to be a great school but it actually was one huge
nightmare. Plus, their accreditation system is very messed up and 90% of
the time if you decide to go to a different college, more than likely
your credits will not transfer. I guess its their way of trying to keep
you there. Best of luck to anyone that goes here.
Sharon Frost (2015)
This is not about a review. It is about speaking to other young people
trying to make a decision in their life. Unfortunately I had a
horrendous experience at this school. I wish I had chosen a different
school. If you are not from a fundamentalist background, you simply will
not fit in here. Please visit their rules on their website, these rules
are 24/7, not just during classes. Do internet searches and seriously
consider if this is the school for you. I wish I had gone elsewhere.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Melissa La Rance (2017)
If I could I would give this school zero stars. The faculty cares very
little about the students and is only interested in pushing their own
agenda. I completed almost 3 years as a nursing major; had excellent
grades, outstanding attendance, and overall followed the rules
accordingly. However, I had to leave mid-semester because my mother was
dying of cancer. The faculty didn't care and I was told that if I left
this school I would not be successful in my life. Fast forward to almost
5 years later; none of my credits transferred. I ended up having to
retake 3 years of college all over again. Wasted thousands of dollars on
this scam of a school. At any chance I get, I discourage any young high
school grad from attending PCC. Literally the worst decision for a
college education.
Slacker Bots (2019)
Was a student for for 1 year, and it was absolutely horrible. "Student
Life" doesn't benefit anyone in the student body.. they're just there to
catch people doing "unchristian" like behavior, and kick them out. The
place forces the gospel down your throat. Not worth the tuition cost.
Sarabeth Queale (2017)
Please, do not consider giving this establishment your money, your time,
and your energy. Pensacola Christian College falsely advertises itself
to many young adults. They portray themselves as a beneficial,
successful school with a caring environment. It is a cult.
I would like to take back everything that I spent at
PCC. As a high school graduate, I refused to believe the many people who
spoke against this place, because they sounded emotional and angry.
Please, do not waste any year or your life finding out what PCC really
is. Unless you are very fundamental or have left a cult-like church, it
is hard to comprehend what this place is like.
Parents, please do not urge your child to go to this
place because of the cheap price. $10,000 a year is allot of money to
waste. Young person, please look elsewhere. Ask one of PCC's
representatives to tell you what the enrollment attrition rate is,
specifically from freshman year to senior year. The fact that PCC cannot
maintain the majority of each class should be an indicator that
something is wrong.
This establishment's credits are still not recognized by
most schools outside of the local area, which means the credits are not
transferable. This school prohibits men and women from using the same
elevator, transgression can lead to demerits. Each semester a student
can have up to 99 demerits before they are automatically expelled, and
180 demerits in total for the school year. However, the board can and
regularly chooses to expel people who have not met these standards. You
cannot leave the campus during the day without submitting a pass, and
cannot stay the night somewhere else without a request form approved.
Rooms are checked multiple times a day. Men and women cannot touch.
Married couples can only conservatively hold hands. Men and women cannot
talk to each other or spend time together, unless they are on the
campus. You are not allowed to leave at the end of the semester unless
you fill out paperwork with all of your travel information, leaving
without filling out the form results in demerits. This is not even a
fraction of the many extreme rules.
Please, believe the many people who have experienced
this place.
Amanda N (2018)
My experience from 2005-2008 is that this college is very legalistic. If
you do not listen to certain music, dress a certain way, and use a
specific version of the Bible; then either you are a backslidden
Christian or you are not a Christian at all. The Bible Conference at PCC
is just a week off from classes to get brain-washed into believing what
the school believes. One semester, I had a stalker (a pastoral major)
and I was told by the Student Life office to “stay away from him”
(duh!). During finals and midterms, this place made you go to Fine Arts
and do White Glove cleaning even though the faculty claimed to “care
about your academic success”. This school also gave the guilt trip for
not going on “Christian service” even though your grades were important
too and each “Christian service” group had certain criteria (such as
classification) you had to meet before you could participate in that
group. I could go on. It’s a legalistic school with a lot of broken
promises (such as “major” drops). But that was my experience during
2005-2008. I hope this place had changed for the better since then.
Anon Omus (2017)
Two of my Christian cousins went here. Basically, it's like a
fundamentalist version of 1984 where administration dictates your every
move-- "don't wear headphones," "don't order pizza at the dorm," "don't
wear jeans," "don't cut your hair like that," "don't chew gum here" and
many more ridiculous rules that are more interested in how students
appear than how sincere their relationship with God is. Students are
encouraged to snitch on each other. Monitors are hidden to try to catch
students breaking rules (nope, not creepy at all).
DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY! They are a cult.
A M (2017)
Went to this school for 1 year. After growing up in a conservative
Christian environment and going to a Christian school my entire life,
this place was overly controlling. I felt that I concentrated on not
getting into trouble instead of concentrating on school work. The staff
there I found to be very manipulative and controlling at all times. They
control where you go to church, when you eat, sleep, how clean you keep
your living quarters, what you wear, and where you go to, even away from
the college, at all times and the place has more hidden cameras
installed to "catch you" that a level 5 prison couldnt even beat (my
roomate was on the security staff). The dormitories have a phone in each
room but those phones are disconnected at "lights out" which I believe
was 9 or 10pm if I remember correctly. As a young adult trying to figure
out life and how to live and act on your own, you will not figure it out
here. Its an artificial atmosphere. You cannot ride in elevators or walk
after dark with any member of the opposite sex, staff or not. Men and
women can go to the beach but must go to oposite beaches in Pensacola
and cannot meet up for lunch or socialize. If you get sick you have to
go to their medical staff and they had a room with other sick students
that you had to stay at all day long during school hours; you couldnt
just get sick and stay in your own bed in your dorm. I had a job paying
off my tuition costs at their campus print shop and I remember working
with other students there and we couldnt even communicate with each
other there. I went seeking a Christian education and wanted to grow in
Christ with likeminded people but left disapointed and disgruntled at
their broken system of doing things.
Benjamin Daggett (2016)
After four years in PCC I cannot in good conscience recommend this
school. Although the educational experience was good. The student life
department controls and monitors every action of the students on campus.
Instead of letting adult college students make their own decisions, the
college enforces things like church attendance and bed times. The
college zealously enforces its church attendance rules. When I had a
torn ACL and had surgery the next day, I was told I had to go to church
or be forced go to a video recording of the service on Saturday. Also
since my leg was swollen and in a big bolky cast I asked the Student
Life department if I could wear shorts to class since pants were painful
to put on and wear but I was told I still had to wear pants. Dean Omen
said I could wear "athletic" pants but those do not solve my problem.
The school is more concerned with enforcing rules than actually caring
for its students.
Ashley Vollnogle (2019)
This is a review on Abeka, that Pensacola Christian publishes and sells.
I would not recommend them based on customer service. Due to our school
changing the edition of books my daughter needed (mid summer), after I
bought the previous edition, they refused to offer any sort of refund,
even though I would be buying a book back from them. This was bc it was
9 days past the deadline. 9 days! I bought the book in May trying to get
ahead of my curriculum buying (I also homeschool 2 children) and didn't
realize the school changed editions they were needing until today when I
was packing up my daughter's books. I find it hard to believe that there
is something magical about 9 days on a return, on a brand new book you
still sell!! Way to support the Christian schooling community.
Philip Vanwingerden (2017)
This school is unbelievable. Rules are good, I believe in rules, but to
make the students go to bed and not finish watching the presidential
election because it was "curfew" is ridiculous! They let the students
finish watching the World Series (how kind) but they made them go to bed
and not finishing watching history be made. Beware of this college.
Nathan Smith (2016)
Be very careful. I went one year and though there are some godly men and
women there, the overall culture is very narrow minded and has a
philosophy of scripture PLUS man's preference with an emphasis on man's
preference. As a result, many of their positions do not jive with
scripture but take positions two or three steps further than
scripture, much like the Pharisees within Scripture. In some ways, I
would say this is close to being a cult. I have advanced seminary
degrees from other conservative institutions and the Biblical exegesis
and exposition of PCC is very shoddy. Please do not judge Christianity
or the God of the Bible by interactions at Pensacola Christian College.
Billy Dorn (2017)
This college turned on one of its students for taking a stand on
American history and American LAW that protects historical Veterans
monuments and memorials. How do you think God with think of this college
for kicking a student out of school on his last year and rendering him
from an education for something he did on his private time. It wasn't
moral of this college. WE DEMAND FULL REINSTATEMENT IMMEDIATELY. Do the
right thing and the Christian thing.
William Watson (2017)
Let me explain why this is one of the worst places you will ever go to
if you love God or want an education.
I've been to many churches of various sects of Christianity (though
mostly baptist). This one is by far the creepiest and most dictatorial.
They preach politics directly from the pulpit (which is illegal mind
you). They will publicly mock you if you believe differently (and
believing differently is a valid reason for being kicked out). Their
rules at the college are RIDICULOUS. You can get in trouble for singing
Christmas music outside of the Christmas season (I am not joking). You
cannot go into certain stores while you are there or you will be kicked
out. They have a list. Speaking of lists, better hope you don't do any
business online because they block almost every website (including all
mail servers, skype, etc). If you get caught using your own internet
(they DO check your phones at any time btw) you will be kicked out. If
you are gay...may God's mercy be upon you if they find out.
Also, should you get kicked out (regardless of the offense) you have 24
hours maximum to vacate the premises (no matter if you have someplace to
go or not) and you are escorted AT ALL TIMES everywhere they will allow
you to go. And if you talk to someone that is not your appointed escort,
they will boot you out IMMEDIATELY and give you your stuff outside of
the gates and walk away. There is always a large percentage of Freshman
that are expelled within the first semester, not year...semester.
Calling this place Christian is like calling a McDonald's burger healthy
because it has lettuce on it.
Blake G. (2014)
I won't say it's awful, but there are several problems, to say the
least... Where to start:
The school sends out students to do what they call 'evangelism'. The
students that go out may be given a set of pitches and lines about God
and the Bible, but it truly lacks depth of any real knowledge about
either of the two. They may be able to quote many verses faster than you
can say Jack Rabbit, but those same students can't answer why they
believe that the Bible is God's Word, where the Bible comes from or who
gets to decide what's scripture. All they can repeat is 2 Timothy 3:16,
but that commits the fallacy of circular reasoning. They simply lack the
philosophical understanding of the Bible, and are not trained in an
authentic technique in using the Bible as an aid in salvation. The
majority of the time, students get stuck in controversy, and when under
pressure, they begin patronizing people by telling them they're going to
Hell. That's rather peculiar to represent a "Christian" school in that
manner when there are no Biblical accounts of Christ personally telling
anyone that they were going to Hell.
They may have many good principles and well-intentioned rules, but it
goes overboard by sending out other students to watch and catch you
doing something wrong. Where I come from, we call that stalking. I
recommend researching a place named Qumran and the ethics of their
community to compare the two.
Lastly, I find it rather misleading to call it a college when it lacks
accreditation, which is necessary if you plan on pursuing a career
outside of an actual church organization. No job outside of a church
would ever hire someone from a school without accreditation.
Sorry, but the Truth hurts and the Truth is offensive, and there was no
one more full of Truth than Jesus Christ, Himself. Just see how lovingly
offensive Jesus was to His contemporaries.
Sally Clark (2018)
This school is discriminating against singles!!! I have a brother who
attends unfortunately...I am visiting from out of state in a few weeks
and wanted to have him hang with me for the weekend. I am 30 yrs old
waiting for God's timing to get married...is it my fault I'm not married
yet ? Absolutely not. Yet the school rejected the request to have my own
brother stay with me over a weekend. I understand safety for those who
have messed up family but I 30 years old and am highly involved with
ministry. They discriminate ALL singles. Jesus was single. Totally
unbiblical, very cultish and I can't imagine how many ppl they have hurt
bc of their legalistic rules
Anon (2016)
This is an unaccredited, low-cost school, for good reason. This school
actually blamed a woman for her rape...it's sicking. Most modern things
are banned, such as Internet, music, jeans, dancing, and movies.
(Dancing is actually praised in the bible). Women & men can't even walk
on the same sidewalks.
It amazes me that this "Christian" cult school remains open.
Remember, diplomas from unaccredited schools are worthless in many
states!
Aaron Neptune (2016)
Acedemics are OK, but good luck transferring credits to accredited
colleges. Some nice staff, but a most are judgmental and all around
awful people. If you grew up homeschooled and in a really strict church
or home you might like here. If you are a normal person please go
anywhere else. This place will literally drain you of all hapiness.
Ninja Artist (2019)
Great Professors. But that's about it for this sad excuse of a college.
I think they should change the school motto to "Big Brother is Always
Watching."
They hover over the students as if they are on parole. This school is
not about getting an education but about trying to not step out of line.
I literally heard one of the speakers say "if you received demerits for
something you didn't do, you probably did something that deserved them
anyway."
"BIG BROTHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING!!!""
Danielle Tate (2016)
Neither Christian, nor an accredited college. Only "Pensacola" is
correct, and that's only because they haven't decided to secede and form
their own fundamentalist country yet. Don't go here if you're a
Christian; they don't actually follow the Bible. They just use it as an
excuse to treat people like trash. And if you're not a Christian, stay
away from PCC and please remember we're not all like that!
Gavin Bufford (2017)
Pcc is the worst school ever. It was a complete waste of my time and
money. They kicked me out for going to the wrong Sunday school class.
And that was a year ago. They still will not release my transcripts
which has put me behind in my college career. They schools not be called
a Christian college if they cannot even live by what the Bible has to
say. If I was able to take it all back and not go there I would in a
heartbeat. I am warning you if you are thinking about going DONT DO
IT!!!!
Mara Ranian (2018)
It is a shame and disgrace that female students wear short pants on
Campus while not in connection with Physical Education. It's as though
modest apparel was thrown out the window. Fundamental Christians will be
disappointed with PCC. Fundamentalism turns liberal at this college. If
you are a Fundamental Christian, look somewhere else.

I am appalled at the lack of Christian concern on the behalf of PCC for
our teen daughter. She works to support herself at college, and locked
herself out of her car at the WalMart parking lot at night, after dark.
We are in Wisconsin and could not help her. She remembered that she was
advised in a meeting at the beginning of each semester to call security
if anything happened to her vehicle off campus, "especially young
ladies". When she called security, they reminded her that she might have
triple A insurance (she doesn't), and gave her the name of a locksmith,
which she could not afford. They could offer no other help because "we
don't have the resources". With 5000+ students, and a campus church that
includes families, it seems there would be some resource that could be
brought into play. She found a complete stranger and asked him to break
into her car, and he was kind and gracious to her. She never received
any follow up call, or the slightest token of concern for her welfare.
The world takes care of its own better than that.

Let me just start by saying that some of the people here have worst
judgmental mindset than the 21 century social media. What I just said is
enough to keep 99 percent of you away! I am saying this as a student
here PLEASE DO NOT COME OR SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!
Note: Look at the one star ratings. Those are not trolls or bad
students. They are all truthful and reliable resources to keep people
away from this school. BE AWARE!
Jesus Wept (2019)
This college is NOT accredited. You will waste your time and hard work
and money. Please choose another college. More importantly, they have a
history of abuse and mishandling the abuse of students. Please avoid
this college. #ChurchToo #StopTheAbuse #ProtectTheSheep
Jairus Mcconnell (2016)
The worst place possible you could go. Nothing but their ideology and
pharisee ways shoved down your throat constantly. When you are not even
allowed to go home and spend time with your family because of a stupid
bible conference you know that they do not care about anything else but
their own pride and stupid religion. Nevery ever come here.

This institution did more to harm my personal development than any
other. As a 38 year old professional, I still bear the scars of how I
was treated by this harsh, unloving, uncaring college. My years there
have provided zero value and I resent that I made the terrible choice to
attend here. I hope that I can keep others from making the same mistake.
I was not perfect - but instead of seeing grace and love - I saw evil. I
saw judgment.
Dean Ohman, Springs, and the other troll - if I saw you in public - I
would split on you. You are terrible men and I hope that you will reap
the seeds of your anger and bitterness. You are NOTHING like Christ and
you are everything that is wrong with fundamentalism.
Zach Wilson (2015)
God does not discriminate. God does not blame people for their
circumstances. God does not carry hatred in his heart. This school does.
please give your money to another school. Fundamentalism is not what god
wants. Fundamentalism is the road to terrorism and war.
Donna Carpentieri (2017)
I was disappointed to learn you kicked out the gentleman who went to
protect the history of our country. He did not scream, shout, cuss, or
act in any way inappropriately. The only reason he was escorted by the
police was because of the unruly crowd harassing him. Does this mean you
support the unlawful destruction of property? Shame on you.

I'm an Uber Driver and I took a student to the airport that was flying
out to the Dominican Republic at 7 a.m THE NEXT MORNING! So my curiosity
being peaked I asked my client why she didn't just order an Uber the
next morning a couple of hours prior to her flights departure? She
replies "I'm not allowed to stay overnight because I have to be out of
my dorm room the night before Christmas break unless I pay a 30 dollar
fee! So because of that she had to spend the night at the Pensacola
Airport! All I got to say is I myself as a Christian man will tell you
that you're petty little self serving rules aren't helping the cause of
christ they're hindering it because if I were a lost man and I heard
what I heard from my customer last night you would've sealed my eternal
destiny on a first class ticket to HELL!

Private property beware pokemon go players. Not friendly at all, no
signage telling you it's private, they just will follow you around and
then kick you out. Some of the rudest "Christians" you'll ever meet.

Based on what I read, you have a lot more freedom in North Korea then in
this concentration camp. If I ever had to enroll at Pensacola Christian
College against my will, then I will apply to be in the Guinness Book of
World Records for the most demerits accumulated in the shortest amount
of time by breaking all their stupid Mickey Mouse rules by smuggling in
rock and roll music, playing rock music on the piano, going to the
movies, watching tv on my phone using the AT&T 4g network as some
examples. If they tell me that they need to search my phone, and ask for
the passcode, I tell them "I refuse to give it to you and you may not
search it without a warrant and if you confiscate it, I will call the
police and have you arrested for theft." PCC in my book stands for
Pensacola Concentration Camp.

A young man who exercised his beliefs off campus in a non-violent way
and you expelled him???? That's not part of the Christian or Scholar
standard. Shameful! Reinstate this young man and and let him finish his
senior year.

On the positive side, this nightmare straight out of an Orwell novel was
an important step in my path to atheism.
Hope you like prying judgmental puritans...

School ran by weak minds who openly discriminate against people. Doesn't
speak much for the education they provide when they themselves cannot
understand what they teach.
Scott Brake (2017)
This school is legalistic, has horrible accreditation, and treats their
students like children. I would never recommend this school to anyone.
Fritz Kondjela Naunyango (2018)
I thought god created people with the purpose have having them be
free.... I'd compare this school and it's rules to that of a cults .

Public Collages in Third World Countries are way better than this so
called "Christian" Collage.

Pensacola "Christian" College has no values. They only care about power
over students and controlling them

I find this institution to be bereft of both Christian values, and the
values associated with education.
Avery Gibson (2019)
This place is a cult. If I could give it less than one star, I would.

Awful, awful school. Those who seek a higher education should do so
ELSEWHERE!

Following are HUNDREDS of negative reviews of Pensacola Christian College
(PCC). These reviews are public information on Google. First, here is my
negative review of PCC. I have not edited their comments in any way. As you
read these negative comments about PCC, please keep in mind that PEOPLE JUST
WANT TO BE LOVED, something that PCC has not learned in the 48 years of
their colleges existence since 1974. I'll start with my negative review of
PCC first, and then share with you innumerable more from their hurting
victim students...
