Pearl River Community College is a wonderful college. It has a beautiful campus. The instructors are absolutely amazing. They take the time to help and treat you with respect. If you need to meet with them outside of class they are easily accessible. Pearl River Community College also offers many places to go with free tutoring if you need help in any subject. When you go to Pearl River Community College you become part of the Wildcat Family!
My experience at Pearl River Community College was overall wonderful. I attended PRCC and obtained my Licensed Practical Nurse degree and then furthered my education with starting some classes for my Registered Nurse degree. I attended the Hattiesburg campus and was satisfied with my professors, classes and atmosphere. I would recommend this college to other students and I am thankful for all I learned there as I further my education at an university.
Pearl River has been very helpful to me. I'm going back to college after 30 years and so many things are different. The faculty, staff, and professors are always ready to show me how to get things done on the computer. Because of their instruction and resourcefulness I have a 3.88 GPA and have made the Dean's List my first semester. I'm looking forward to my next and feel with my heavenly Father's help and the help from the college I will be able to do even better.
