    I rate Phillips Community College with 5 stars because it is indeed a good school. The advisors are nice! Well, mine is. She pretty much helped me stay motivated and encourage when I felt like giving up. She taught me more than the basics of school. She taught me how to carry on even after college. My teachers are very understanding and helpful as well. If you do not understand something, they are their willing and eager to help you. The campus is really clean, they have good food! I do not know if that matter or not, but it is. I love how they have resources to everything as well. I have a hard time with math and their are tutors ready for you at any given moment. I have had problems with teachers and tutors before but here is different. A hand is out to help you.
    I have attended Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA for short) for over a year now and I enjoyed every bit of it. The professors are extremely helpful and understanding to anyone who wants to excel in their studies. Even beyond the professors, any of the PCCUA faculty and staff are always willing to help ensure the students are succeeding. I'm more than glad that I took interest in PCCUA and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a college home.
