PCC provided a very strong academic foundation for law school. I believe I was more prepared than the majority of my classmates in law school. The professors were helpful and encouraging, and no matter how much you hate "Advaced Grammar," it was one of the best preparations for legal writing. Although PCC is accredited, I had no trouble getting into several top tier law schools and competing after law school for jobs at the largest law firms in the country.

On the social side, I mostly hated PCC. I thought the rules were ridiculous, unnecessary, and generally destructive for personal development. You are taught not to question any of the reasoning for the rules (complete opposite of the "real world") and the heavy-handed administration left me feeling frustrated and wishing I had gone elsewhere. It was not the rule book that was the problem, it was the attitudes of the students enforcing the rules and the myrid of "unwritten rules." Common response to "I have never heard of that rule and it's not in the handbook": "It's always been a rule; we are just now enforcing it again."

Students considering PCC should simply know what environment they are entering. The education is excellent; the price is unbeatable; but the rules are oppressive. I know plenty of people who went through PCC and greatly enjoyed their time there. But had I known how students were treated by the administration and the Dean's Office, I would have certainly gone elsewhere.
