Pearl River Community College Reviews

I have to say, this is an amazing college! The people are so nice, the staff is easy to work with, IT (the people who work with technology) helps immediately with any issues. The campus is very safe! If you are a female, like me, you will especially feel very secure. There is campus police in the middle of 'river village', which is the female dorm buildings. They are extremely helpful. Overall experience has been amazing thus far.
Review Pearl River Community College
Pearl River is a small community college in my hometown with the best instructors who really care about your education. The campus is beautiful and extremely easy to walk from class to class. There is always something, either a sporting event or activity, that keeps students involved. I would, and often do, recommend my college to high school students. It's a great place to learn.
My overall experience here is pretty satisfying. The school campus itself is not that huge, but at the same time it is big enough. The cafeteria workers and food is like no other. The environment is also very friendly, and there are always activities going on all around campus. #RRR
