I am definitely learning all I need and it is great. I was at first hesitant about going to a community college for the first year but I soon found out that that is not at all a problem. I thought classes at a University would be more informative and a better experience. Starting at a community college, especially PCC, is a great idea.

I don't have a computer so I do believe I am here a bit too much, but at the same time I am very happy that they have a computer center I can go to to get my work done.

This is effeminately a great way to save so much money. Portland Community College is a low spending college that still offers good schooling.

If you do plan on attending PCC, try to do everything as soon as you can. The earlier you get things in the better. You will have less stress about those things and you will quickly be ready for the next. Also, if you are not computer savvy get use to one. They do a lot of things online, which in the long run is good.

Portland Community College is really good for all students. If you have a schedule to work around, they can work with it; if you don't have a computer, they can help; if you plan to transfer to a University, they can easily help you transfer and still save you tons of money. You can range from any age too, high school (duel-in-roll), fresh out of high school, working man/woman, mother, father, etc.

The teachers here at PCC are very knowledgeable about the subject at hand. They are always there for their students with helpful answers and want each student to succeed.

I love each campus at PCC. They are four main campuses serving the metro area, along with several other centers, so it is easy to for anyone living in and around Portland. They are tons of clubs and activities you can join - something for everyone.

Most of the teachers teach at Portland State University as well, so we have the same instructors teaching our classes at a much lower cost. Any science instructor I've had, has their PhD and has done a lot of research on their field of study - so they know a lot!

Put your admissions application in early, always check on financial aide. They are a lot of students who attend PCC and admissions rate goes up every year. If there is ever something you are unsure of, don't hesitate to ask, any staff member would be gladly to assist - they always have a smile on their face whenever I ask questions.

Students who are unsure about what major they want to focus on, Students looking to obtain an associates degree, Students looking to transfer to a 4-year college.

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

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.

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.

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.

The professors at PCC are just as qualified to teach at a community college as they are at a university. A lot of them simply choose to be in a less restricted work environment than a university. PCC also offers a fantastic variety of classes so you will not be stuck in a class you do not like.

PCC has made it so easy to attend. The campuses are lovely. They are also pretty clean and have all the resources a student will need. You also get $10 every term to use in the computer labs for printing materials (it's like 5 cents a page).

If you are looking to go to college in a 100 mile radius of Portland,OR, go to PCC. It costs almost half of what Portland State University costs. The universities also have hidden fees and if you are living in a dorm, forget about it. You will be paying a year's tuition at the university just to live at the university.

Know your options. Apply for as many scholarships as possible and start early. Start when you are a sophomore in high school. Decide how you will get to school (ie: public transit, bike, car, PCC shuttle). Get your textbooks before the term starts so you can get used ones.

PCC does have a lot of returning students who were in the workforce for 3, 5, 10 years, and are now going back to school. But you'd be surprised by how many recent high school graduates attend PCC as well! PCC has a mixture of people of different ethnicity's, ages, genders, and backgrounds.

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+.

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.

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

There are no dorms available at PCC.

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

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

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.

There is a lot of patrols around the campus to ensure our safety.

PCC offers a diverse and welcoming community.
PCC has excellent course selections!
PCC campuses are beautiful and the shuttle is a terrific resource for students!

Buy extra locks for your bike.

I have not lived in the dorms at this college

There is always great, live, free music

The professors are well educated and I feel I am getting a great education.

Child that once was bullied!
Wow, flying higher then Funky Chicken.
Whom Am I ? Eagle

Never let no one say you can't do anything. Haters going to hate, and snakes going to hiss. Step over them and Soar :)

Smile only the strong survive.

Get your own place & don't trust anyone that's into everyone else business, and that's a follower

Learn to cook ,cheaper.

Focus, keep you eyes on the prize.

Goodwill not Macy's

Wow is they from Earth?

Be careful whom you trust.

Always watch for anything that's not normal

PCC is a great place for students to develop. Between the various campuses, there is a wide variety of programs of study, including skilled trades. A high level of instructional quality is expected from professors at PCC, and typical instructors are helpful to students.

Visit the student center to learn about ASPCC programs and events for students.
Also inquire about clubs at the student center. Clubs help enhance your experience, and they are easy to charter.

The professors who last here keep students challenged here and also grade fairly.

Standards of cleanliness are maintained. Rock Creek and Cascade locations do not offer as much variety as Sylvania. Food service is also working on making more vegan options available.

ASPCC hosts a variety of social and recreational events througout the fall, winter, and spring terms.

In my academic program, the instructional quality prepares students well for four-year colleges and universities. Tuition costs are also low at PCC.

Environmental Studies Center at Rock Creek: 110 acres including forest, grassland, and wetland environments. The west-side forest trail is typically open to all students throughout the fall, spring, and summer terms.

students looking to transfer to four-year institutions, those looking to take courses for self-development, high school students looking to earn college credits in the early college program, post-baccalaureate students pursuing a new academic field, those aspiring to learn skilled trades

Clubs are easy to charter. Funding is approved by ASPCC, the student government body. Being a two-year college, however, club leaders depart the school frequently, making club momentum difficult to maintain.

Excellent: high traffic areas are well-maintained. The public safety office is located in an easy-to-find location, and the officers are helpful.

This institution is packed wit excellent educators and a strong curriculum. I've always felt like my tuition money was well spent at Portland Community College and I recommend them to everyone that is ready to get going for college.

I used a professor rating website to pick and choose my instructors but PCC has so many great ones that it wasn't really necessary.

The health and medicine geared classes really are intense but worth it, they are setting their students up for success.

just fine

Hike, bike, intramural leagues, yoga, dance

Extremely well worth the money spent, the instructors are excellent.

Sylvania campus is the best and it is beautiful as well

portland community college has wonderful atmosphere, free shuttles to all campus locations and teachers who care about education.

register early so you can have all of your classes located on one campus.

everything is laid out for your success.
