They are strict, but very fair and reasonable. Not only will the professors help, the college has resources outside of class to get you any additional help you might need. For example, there is a math lab, writing lab, and tutoring center.

    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your professor in the first week, if not on the first day. It will definitely make your semester more worthwhile. Also, get involved in the community campus because there are a ton of activities and clubs out there for everyone.
    Bang for the buck

    I know that my education isn't getting cheated because most, if not all of my professors teach at surrounding colleges with the SAME material. We just get it for a cheaper price and a one-on-one relationship.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love that my class sizes are small, so therefore I can actually connect and get to know my professor (unlike a lot of my friends who go to universities where they are simply a number, and only talk to the teacher's assistant). The school also offers a lot of useful resources such as a tutoring center, math center, center of advanced technologies building, and a soon to be health education building.
    Am learning a lot

    I have been attending PGCC for the past few years, and I have truly enjoyed my experience. I take regular and honors courses and sometimes (depending on the professor) the regular course are sometimes more involved.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is an annual Seniors Prom that is held on campus where literal seniors come dance, eat, and enjoy themselves. There is also a spot on campus where some student art work is displayed and it must be quiet. It has a few benches and screens that display certain surprising statistics.
    Bang for the buck

    There is a variety of tutoring centers for students who may need extra help in classes. Because there are some teachers with accents, I would encourage prospective students to try their best to research their professors online. Some people's accents are harder to understand than others.
    What to do for fun

    For fun, students hang out in the enormous amount of lounges located on campus, laugh, joke, participate in social events, community projects, etc. There are sports teams and a track at the Largo campus. There are also many different clubs and organizations that students are urged to join.
    Food and Dining

    Cafeteria food at Prince George's Community College is awesome! They have a special catering service that cooks many different common foods. They serve breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner foods. I remember the cafeteria fixed Thanksgiving Dinner for the Thanksgiving holiday, and students were able to eat at decorated tables secluded from a particularly noisy environment as if they were on dates etc. It was very nice.
    Dorm Life

    I have never lived in a dorm. However, I have lived with (family members/close people to me) who were taking classes or enrolled at the same college as me. One thing that I can say about the experience is that their is a great amount of support in peers and a great amount of empathy that is usually shared. Another aspect of living with/near others that around the same age group is learning to adapt to the diversity of personalities and learning of the abundance of previously unknown similarities that are very fun to discover.
    Academic Rigor

    The focal point of Prince George's Community College is to get students to Envision Success. When you have a set goal and the goal is truly important to your heart, then you will do what it takes to achieve that goal. Your motivation should be God, yourself, and the desire to succeed in life, make a difference in the world, and help others.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should try their best to focus on their studies and plan to sit in the front of their classes. Prospective students should research their professors online because some may find that certain professors teaching methods may cater to certain learning styles. Prospective students should try their best to maintain a high GPA because they can potentially be awarded money for doing well in school. Prospective students should strive to do all of their homework assignments and submit them on time. They should always make copies of assignments that are to be turned in as well. It is always a great idea to save emails that are sent from professors and to learn to periodically press save while typing papers.
    In three sentences

    Prince George's Community College is a predominantly urban college and is quite diverse. Prince George's Community College is a great school for someone who is just starting college. Prince George's Community College has some extremely knowledgeable professors that know how to teach very well.

    Food and Dining

    The food is tolerable, but it is not healthy. It is better than secondary school food and lower grade levels, but don't be dependent on it. Prefer to play it safe and pack a healthy lunch or go somewhere healthy to eat if you catch a break.

    This is a commuter school, so there are no dorms. Community colleges like PG typically are commuter schools anyway.

    The academics are good. PG contains many hands-on, dedicated teachers, and difficult courses. Most of these courses can transfer to another college/university, check with an advisor or teacher to make extra sure.
    Tips for prospective students

    Prospective students should be prepared for the varied waiting hours in the advising office, they should also ask their teachers and staff questions to be alert and to be in tune with the school.

    What to do for fun

    Well this year, they have added way more clubs so you can join those in your spare time. If not you can play a sport like basketball, soccer, track cross country and more.
    Food and Dining

    Well there are two places you can grub and that would be the Cyber Cafe and the regular Cafeteria. The food is great. If you are really into cold cold lunches or really just can't make it on time to your class, but you are really hungry and this is the closest building to you, the Cyber Cafe is where it is at!
    Dorm Life

    There really isn't any dorm life because it is a Community College.
    Academic Rigor

    Academic counselors really want you to succeed but you have to show that you are trying. They will provide you with information for resources and tools to do well in your classes. It is not hard to want to do good here if you really pay attention to what you came to achieve.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are thinking of coming here because you are not ready to go to a University or you just want to start out small, Prince George's Community College is your best bet. Going to their orientation helps you out a lot and knowing the basics of the college. I heard their transfer rates are up there so when you are ready to go to a different institution, there won't be much trouble.
    In three sentences

    It's is a pretty nice campus for a Community College. The staff is wonderful and they do the best they can to help you. I if I were to rate them from a scale of 1-10 I would give them a 8.5!

    My tips for prospective students would be to always to class early. When you arrive early, you're on time, when you arrive on time, your late. Another tip would be to stay on top of all of your work and try to do everything ahead of time. Your syllabus should be your best friend, it'll be a lot less stressful in the long run.

    Campus police is seen all over campus even through the end of the evening classes. They answer the campus police phone very quickly. They respond quickly to emergencies and are also seen heavily paroling the parking lot.
    Greek Life

    Greek Life is non existent at Prince George's Community College.
    Clubs and Activities

    Emails will be sent to your student email account weekly about on campus events. Some events are better than others, but most of them are fun, organized events! If you don't like any of the clubs, start one! The process is not hard and they encourage you to do so!
    Great for these types of students

    Students who may not be able to afford schooling at a 4-year institution just yet. If you are from the PG County area or have attended PG public schools, majority of the students who you will see are from similar situations. Students are very diverse coming from all over the world. If you are interested in meeting new people or learning about other cultures, the International Center is the place to be.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    On the third floor CAT building, there is a Cyber Cafe where students can access the high speed WiFi and be in a relaxed environment if the cafeteria gets too packed. In the Math Learning Center, if you are cool with the Coordinator (help him tutor sometimes when it's busy), there are private rooms in the back for you to study with a group of your classmates. There are nice computers in Chesapeake Hall, but you would have to ask faculty to open up the computer lab for you.
    Bang for the buck

    Classes are reasonably priced compared to other 4-year institutions where most credits transfer to seamlessly.
    What to do for fun

    Get involved with campus organizations. There is a club for almost every type of student. There is also a track and natatorium for anyone who wants to do physical activity. By the track there is a soccer/football field, baseball diamonds, as well as outdoor racketball and tennis courts. Inside the natatorium, you can find a pool, gym, and a few racketball courts.
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is a good place to go if you want to have something warm to eat in a hurry. The food is overpriced though. They offer nice home made style dishes. If you have a car, there are other restaurants to go to close by: McDonalds, Taco Bell, Cluck-U-Chicken, Subway, Starbucks, chinese restaurants. Vending machines can be found all over campus and are stocked every day.
    Dorm Life

    There is no dorm life at PGCC. By attending this school, you will have to commute. The Largo and UTC campuses are easily accessible by metro. If you want to get a good parking spot, come to campus no later than 07:50am if you have an 8am class. If you are looking for a place to study, the CAT building and library are good places. During midterms or finals, you may have a hard time finding a spot. WiFi is available all over campus, however, it works best in those two places.
    Academic Rigor

    Academic rigor depends on your major and teacher and semester. Summer/Winter sessions are typically easier than Fall/Spring ones. Some teachers are more better at teaching than others, but overall, mostly all teachers are qualified in the course they're teaching. Nursing majors are rarely ever seen on campus because they're always in class or studying.
    Tips for prospective students

    Speak to advisors (academic, financial aid) way before the start of the semester to avoid long waits and stressed out advisors. Have an idea of what you plan to major in, however, if you don't know during the start of the semester, sticking to the General Education curriculum they have will benefit you until you do decide.
    In three sentences

    Prince George's Community College is an excellent institution to get your general education credits from before transferring to a 4-year institution school. There are also good programs for students who are interested in vocational or trade school purposes. The student population ranges from concurrent high school students to older students who were last in school 10+ years ago.

    In three sentences

    PGCC is a very nice school, but like all things, it has its flaws. The staff in the financial aid and advising centers are beyond rude and should not be tolerated in an institution like PGCC. The school overall gets a 4.5/5.0 because of the variety of programs that are offered, the nice faculty, the quality of instruction,and the job opportunities within PGCC.

    There are numerous securities spread out in the campus. I feel safe. I actually never dread about my safety, such as someone coming to shoot a school or something out of the ordinary.

    Clubs and Activities

    There are several clubs such as MSA; Muslim Students Association, Soccer, Basketball, Poetry club, and other exciting events such as having President Obama come to our school and speaking about a case.
    Great for these types of students

    The poetry Club is great for Students who love writing, literature, reading, and Art. This club is run by a previous Professor. She is well educated. While in her class, I learned a lot about Literature, authors and poets such as Voltaire, Sylvia Plath. Taking her class made me look at the way people express themselves to be more intricate rather than just words. There are ways I analyze things.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There is a place called Hollow Tree underneath the cafeteria. Most Artistic, odd, outcast, individuals hang out. When I say outcast, I don't mean it in a bad way, but its indifferent how college kids would still play Pokemon and skip and dance, and things of that nature. When I think of College I see people continuously studying and having educated conversation. But I've learned all people are different. We all must find where we belong. At first glance, I thought Hollow tree was unusual.
    Bang for the buck

    I must say some Professors are really good. I had a wonderful History Professor who was knowledgeable about what she was teaching. She never used the book not once. She had a great sense of Humor and she really enhance my effort in learning about History. I also had an outstanding Literature Professor. I learned more about Voltaire. My Professor taught me to question everything and anything.
    What to do for fun

    There are several clubs such as MSA-Muslim Students Association, Basketball and Soccer team, Plays, things of this nature. The plays are surprisingly outstanding. Basically, the campus is quite Entertaining and lively.
    Food and Dining

    The food is quite expensive for the quality. There is not much variety. Breakfast food is horrible, but lunch is much better with a variety of pizza, chicken, french fries etc. I must say I love PGCC french fries, and seasoned potatoes, it's delicious. I also don't understand why we have to pay for cups.
    Dorm Life

    No Campus
    Academic Rigor

    The difficulty would be with the online Math Module. Math is my weakness, therefore I am not in favor of a math module. Although PGCC provide tutors, I'm still not enthused in strategic way the professors want the students to comprehend Math.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you take care of financial aid before the semester starts. Most Students tend to wait last minute to process their FAFSA, and have problems such as lost application. Most time you would need a down payment or set up a college plan If your FAFSA isn't processed yet. Sometimes you cannot provide a down payment so this means you've missed the deadline, and cannot attend for the semester, nor register for late classes. Also, know who you hang out with, there are a few distractions such as foolish activities, and people. Study what you love and passionate about, then you would do well. do not let an advisor help you with your major, you will change it more than five times, there is nothing wrong with being interested in multiple things, but it's better to choose for yourself.
    In three sentences

    I like PGCC because the professors, and standard has proved itself. When I was in High School I heard awful things about the College, by experience I think it's a good college to start with If you go there for the right reasons. There are numerous ways to get help when need such as the writing and tutoring section, and also tutors being present in some class when need. PGCC help you find what you love doing rather than starting a University with all the rigor expectations.
