Presbyterian College (PC) is a home, a family, and a future. Don't let the small town deceive you, PC is your typical college experience but with so much more. I absolutely love PC.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Focus on service in your application. While PC is rigorous, our motto is While we live, we serve. Service will stand out as a potential applicant.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
While the professors are always there for you and will help you succeed, they expect a lot from you and hold you to it. That's why PC degrees are so respected.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
99% of students live on campus. The dorms need renovation, but it is super easy to hang out with your friends.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is good, but lacks variation for vegan, vegetarians, and gluten free options.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
If you aren't big on frat parties, you can hang out in your friends' dorm rooms or go to one of the nearby cities. Since PC is so small, you get creative with your fun options. From playing manhunt (a more extreme version of hide and seek) to outdoor swing dancing, PC students always find things to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I find PC worth every penny. I just got back from studying abroad in Spain and I compared PC with the other students' universities. I concluded that I have it great at PC.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The attics and basements in certain buildings can come as a shock.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There's something for everyone really.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Great options! Actually a common problem at PC is to become over-involved.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
6 different fraternities and 3 sororities as well as other Greek honors societies. Lots of options, and lots of fun.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
PC is extraordinarily safe. I never feel scared walking around at night. One thing that holds us accountable is the honor code.
