PC is a great school with a great reputation. Whenever I tell people that I go to PC, they always comment on what a good school it is. The best part is, it is getting more and more competitive- a diploma from PC, while still prestigious, will be more valuable in years to come. People who go here know that the student body is homogeneous...but that doesn't mean that we are all clones. We may come mostly from the East coast and may value dressing nicely, but you can easily find a variety of different opinions and ideas on campus. Every student here was the varsity captain/class president/head of prom committee in high school. There is a majority of Catholic students but there aren't any "Jesus freaks." Theology is taught in DWC VERY objectively. Students work hard and play harder, getting As during the day and getting hammered at night (you can pick a couple of nights between Messed up Mondays, Brown night at Fischo, PC night at Fischo, Thirsty Thursday, and Sunday Funday). My only complaint is that the area around the school is not that great, but a lot of good school are in seedy places. The campus is extremely safe, though. I always walk back from the library at 2am alone without thinking twice. I would not recommend this school to someone who has absolutely no idea what they want to study. The core curriculum is rigorous and it takes at least 12 classes to complete a major...they may say that you do not need to declare until Junior year, but trust me...if you don't declare as soon as possible, you might get screwed!
