Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you don't know what you want to do this is a great school for you. you can just take a couple of classes until you figure it out or take most of your general educations classes, and transfer them to a 4 year college. They offer quite a few degrees that are guaranteed transfer course. So if you want to go to a four year college and complete your major after you finish your associates its a great program.
Tips for prospective students Enroll early because classes fill up quick, especially general education classes, and don't be afraid t ask somebody for help with anything, you might just meet the write person that can help you get a whole lot further than where you would have on your own.
Bang for the buck What I pay a semester and what I learn is pretty satisfactory.
Am enjoying being here I really am enjoying attending this college. I didn't think I would, because a couple years ago I didn't hold a high respect for community colleges, but PCC has a lot to offer. They hold bi-yearly festivals, and they offer a lot of help financially and academically.
Am learning a lot PCC so far has offered an awesome experience for me as a student. I feel I am learning a lot and I know the programs offered at this school are very well respected in the community.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This is the perfect school for students wanting a 2 year degree, or that plan to eventually transfer to a 4year school, and just want to get their pre-requisite courses out of the way. And at a far more affordable price than a university, might i add. PCC is also great for vocational training, early college students, and students right out of high school. Because this is a community college it is also ideal for students of any age with any type of schedule!
Tips for prospective students The best tips i could give to prospective students is to just apply right away, and then apply for COF and FASFA as soon as possible, it helps the process go along a lot smoother.
Bang for the buck Because this is a community college it is very inexpensive and affordable. They are also very helpful in the whole financial aide process and offer various scholarships unique to PCC. Personally, i will be graduating in spring, and after COF, FASFA, and other programs unique to PCC i have only had to pay a total of $62.50!
Am enjoying being here So far i have loved my time here at PCC. The campus has a very chill vibe and many resources available to students. It feels as though the professors and faculty care as much about your success as you the student would.
Am learning a lot With the variety of of classes and the small class sizes it is easy to get a great education here! Because the class sizes are kept relatively small it is easy for the instructors to give one-on-one help if necessary. Regardless of age, lifestyle, or type of student, everyone shares at least one thing in common at PCC, and that is to learn! Which in turn makes for an awesome learning environment.

Categories Comments Am learning a lot This is a great school for those who live in Pueblo and want to stay close to home. With this school you can take select classes. If you aren't sure what you want to do with your major right away instead of holding off on college until you do here you can take your prerequisite classes first. Because this is a 2 year, associates degree college it is a lot cheaper than an university. When you graduate from PCC with your associates degree you can then transfer to an university to receive a higher degree level and by doing so money will have been saved. The campus is gorgeous. There is a fountain and many trees for a shady relaxing break in between classes. The campus has many friendly people attending and who work there that are willing to help. Pueblo Joe's is the cafeteria there and it has semi tasty food just expensive.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students The campus is good for those who are employed full-time, current high school students, those who are wanting to become certified in a certain field, and those who are looking for a quality education without the overcrowded classrooms and impersonal feelings.
Bang for the buck It is unfortunate that the campus I attend buys back used books, but they do not sell used books. If they did, I believe that would cut down on the cost considerably. Also, it is unfortunate that the campus charges it student for all the amenities that the Pueblo campus offers, yet they do not offer the majority of them. However, the funds that are collected for those missing services are pooled towards fixing up the campus.
Am enjoying being here I actually attend the Southwest Colorado Community College branch of Pueblo Community College at the Mancos campus. As far as the enjoyability of the school, I find that I genuinely like attending the college. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they are usually available to answer any questions that you may have. If for any reason they are unable to answer your questions, they will do whatever possible to aid you.
Am learning a lot I enjoy the classes and I feel that I am learning the neccessary skills to exceed in the real world.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus i have yet to come across any unusual traditions or locations on campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are cameras on all parking lots and entrances, and 24 hour security.
Greek Life There is greek life at PCC, however it is the honors society only.
Clubs and Activities I am a part of S.A.F.E. (Student Advocates for Financial Empowerment) We try to spread awareness about financial issues for students through leading online financial literacy courses and bringing in experts on financial literacy to speak to our students. There are many other clubs and groups to choose from.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus None that I have noticed.
Bang for the buck This is PCC's biggest advantage. School is a fair price for services rendered.
What to do for fun Save your money to go see some of the great live music venues in Colorado. The hiking and camping are amazing here.
Food and Dining The food is very specific to Pueblo. I would like to see a healthy eating initiative take place in the culinary arts program, as well as in Pueblo Joe's.
Dorm Life There are no dorms here.
Academic Rigor There are a plethora of good teachers here, but there are some that could use an honest evaluation.
Tips for prospective students Do not attend school if you aren't completely dedicated to your education. Do not take unsubsidized student loans if you can avoid it. Don't borrow more money than you need, find a job and live within your means.
In three sentences I would rate PCC a 7 out of 10 overall. This school is very affordable considering the quality of education. I am proud to call myself a PCC Panther.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The food and the dining are amazing, and friendly on the pocketbook. Whatever you are in the mood for, Pueblo Joe's (the dining hall) is sure to have it!
Dorm Life Pueblo Community College does not have any dorms
Academic Rigor Pueblo Community College has a somewhat demanding curriculum varying on what you apply for. But it prepares you for the real world as well as the career you are wanting to go for.
Tips for prospective students Get registered for classes as soon as possible, do not wait until the last minute! Listen to your professors, for they can not only give you good insight but could possibly become a letter of reference if you allow them to do so. Do no procrastinate, procrastination is a college students worst enemy. And last but not least..get involved! If you love your school your school will love you back!
In three sentences Pueblo Community College is a amazing college, it gave me so many opportunities and opened many doors for me. The people and staff are always willing to help you when you need it most and the classes are small and have a want to learn environment.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are security officers all over campus. In the years I have attended, I have never seen anything dangerous occur here.
Great for these types of students Great for all students, it is flexible and relaxed but still structured.
Bang for the buck The prices continue to go up, but this school is still a far better option than a university. Getting your AA here would cost about half in comparison to universities.
What to do for fun The school often holds events that range from free picnics to skiing trips.
Food and Dining There is a cafe in one of the buildings that has a variety of good food and drinks. There is also a restaurant that is operated by the culinary arts students. Last but not least, there are vending machines in all of the buildings for snacks and drinks on the go.
Dorm Life There are no dorms here.
Academic Rigor The courses can be challenging, but never unreasonable.
Tips for prospective students Learn the names of the buildings before going, and scope out class rooms the day before they start so that you will be on time. Schedule classes at the end of the semester previous to the one you plan to attend as classes fill up quickly. Speak to an advisor to plan a course of action to achieve your goals.
In three sentences The instructors are generally kind and understanding. If there is a problem, it's not hard to be heard. The campus is easy to get around.

Food and Dining I've been to the dining area located on campus once. It was very good.
Dorm Life There are no dorms there
Academic Rigor My teachers always ensure that we are keeping up on our work. Since it is all through D2L, which is located on the college website, it is very difficult to forget about assignments. The instructors make sure we are getting our work done but if we need more time they may extend the due date.
Tips for prospective students All the teachers ask of you is that you do your work. If you do your work and go to class they will work with you to help you pass the class.
In three sentences The teachers are very nice and down to earth. They are always willing to help you. This is what i look most for in a college and PCC has that Teacher-student connection in mind.

Food and Dining Food is absolutely amazing and easily accessible throughout the day.
Dorm Life There are no dorms.
Academic Rigor It's not a University, but I'm a junior in high school, and as a junior, PCC offers me educational wise so many more opportunities than just staying at my high school.
Tips for prospective students My tips would be to develop a study pattern because it's needed. Also, get some sleep. If you're stressing about an upcoming assignment, you're only hurting yourself by skipping sleep.
In three sentences PCC is my stepping stone to a University as I take advantage of their early college program while I attend high-school. It offers so many opportunities and an insight on what college is like. It challenges me in curriculum and I'm glad to be taking advantage of this opportunity.

Categories Comments What to do for fun They have a lot of things that go on at the start of the semesters but they tend to die out and get more boring as the year goes on.
Food and Dining PCC doesn't have many dining opportunities besides the vending machines and a few special dinners each semester.
Dorm Life PCC does not have dorms.
Tips for prospective students Be careful with their advising and be sure you know what you're going for before you take the core classes for that major so that you don't waste time and money on classes that you don't need for your degree.
In three sentences They are a great community college with encouraging and helpful staff and professors. They are affordable and flexible on payments. PCC has a wide variety of degree programs.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Lots of on campus planned publications, art shows, and activities. I prefer the theatre productions.
Food and Dining Nice area to eat in with the remodeled student center.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor Most students will find classes not too easy but not too challenging. Teachers often make assignments and expectations very clear.
Tips for prospective students I would advise you to go to the school before classes start to get your bearings. It is simple to find your way once you have had one semester there but you don't want to be late for class because you can't figure out which building you're looking for.
In three sentences Pueblo Community College has a great staff who are helpful and really interested in helping students succeed. The class sizes are okay, but could be slightly smaller in some cases. Overall it is a great place to start out to save money before transferring to a four year university.

Categories Comments Food and Dining Since it's just a small college, there is no cafeteria. There are a few good restaurants around town though.
Dorm Life Most students live in their own apartments or with their parents. There are no dorms at the Fremont campus.
Academic Rigor If you want to be challenged, then this is not the right school for you; however, it is a good stepping stone before attending a four-year college. The most challenging courses are the science courses.
