Review of Portland Community College

from Vancouver, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Portland Community College is an amazing school! From the professors to the administration I have furthered my education with confidence and guidance. I am almost done with my AAOT degree and on to nursing school. Thanks PCC I give you an A+.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get a grad plan right away so you don't end up with a lot of credits that don't count on a degree. Utilize all the great services that PCC has to offer such as the Career Counseling Center, academic adviser and the ASPCC.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The work load can be heavy but we have tutors and library help plus your professors are happy to help.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

There are no dorms available at PCC.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We have great cafeterias with many healthy options. Free coffee and popcorn in the underground (ASPCC).

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

I'm in Portland so there is a lot to do for fun. Museums, live entertainment, parks, and the zoo.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I feel that I really get my moneys worth at PCC. Computer labs are always available if you need a computer, scanner, or copier.

All types. We are a very diversified group here.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
