There were a few professors that were very friendly here who I loved, but a few professors felt uninviting and even intimidating to me. Something I liked about the school is that it was very affordable. The building itself, having once been a high school, didn't feel much different from one though; It was very dull. I also did not agree with some policies that were exercised in regards to the ACE program they had for earning college credits in high school. I had taken an ACE class my senior year but was not allowed to pay to receive the credits for it because I didn't take an easier "prerequisite" class the year before; I took a a more rigorous course. I did the same work as those around me, (harder work even) so it felt unfair to not be given the same opportunities as them. This, to me, is a major flaw when considering values of fairness and has nearly dissuaded me from the want to attend institutions.
As a high school senior trying to stay intellectually stimulated, I love it! The class sizes are small and the professors I've had have been wonderful. The Blair campus is also nice, clean, and a pleasure to stay inside between classes.
Pennsylvania Highlands Community College was a nice place to go to school. It was an affordable place to get the start to my education. I was able to make friends and excel in the classroom. The small class sizes and community feeling made it an enjoyable school to go to. The professors and staff truly care about you as an individual. Overall, Penn Highlands is a great place to further your education.
