Providence College is a very prestigous school withBrightUndecided
Providence College is a very prestigous school with a lot to offer, like extracurriculars and education. I have met some very nice people and my academics are enriching. To be quite honest though, the professors are not helpful, along with any other staff member, they do not maintain the campus or the dormitories at all and for the money you pay here it should be done. Some people do love it here, others not so much, and those who dont, like myself, will be transferring to a better college who treats the students like they are actually human beings.

Question
PC is the type of school that youQuite BrightFinance
PC is the type of school that you invision when thinking about college. Classic dorm life, parties, bars, class, all situated outside Providence, RI where things are always going on. People here party hard and study hard and if thats your thing youll fit right in. Classes are challenging depending on what professors you get and the core program has its benefits for all majors. Most kids here are involved in alot of activites ranging from sports and music to academic programs. The Catholic aspect of the college is present, however, has never been unaccepting to people of other religious beleifs or overbearing. You will know instanly if you like it here on your visit from the campus to the people its not hard to see this place is a good time. I strongly enourage PC.

Question
Providence College is definitley a fun time.Biology
Providence College is definitley a fun time. The work is hard and can get very stressful at times, but thats the way it is everywhere. The weekends make up for it because there are always fun things to do. All the other negative posts are people who probably just stay in on the weekends and drink by themselves, it is a fun time here. All the faculty I've had so far have been extremely nice and helpful. Especially in the biology and music departments. I would definitley go here if I had a choice to go here or somewhere else.
