Review of Portland Community College

from Beaverton, OR

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

My major is Mechanical Engineering so i need hands on classes and so far the school has provided me with that.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I like the atmosphere of the school. It's like highschool without restrictions and the people that are there actually want to learn so i feel more like i can do what i need to do to be successful in my classes without someone making fun of me because i actually care about my education.

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

For how low the price is of community college compared to a university, i feel like i get the right amount of attention because the classes are small just like in highschool and i ask questions a lot so that's good for me to still be able to.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

if you are wanting to do a bachelors or higher in a study of your choice best way to do it is transfer credits over after you've been at pcc. The counselors will help you with your term schedule so you can make sure your taking classes that are going to transfer to you university of choice... USE YOUR RESOURCES THE SCHOOL GIVES YOU! you save money in the end. University for 13 credits= approx 5,000... pcc for 13= approx 2.000. it's also smart if your coming from highschool straight into college because if you go to a university first you most likely won't be ready because they teach at 300 level...aka HARD... pcc you can start in the 10's then go up from there. They're super flexible.
