    Great small town community. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Most faculty and staff are devoted to their work and are essential in empowering the Promise of PC initiative for students and potential students. It is a small, yet beautiful campus. I hate that they don't offer my major; otherwise, I would consider continuing my education there! The only downside is the price of tuition and fees. I recommend the campus life and feel of the college. The academics here seem to be highly respected and prestigious, and the student life departments appear to be very active in reaching out to students in and outside of the classroom.

    I am currently a student at Presbyterian College. It's a very small school with about 65% of the student body being athletes. The campus is beautiful and there is a lot of community and alumni support. The staff and professors are dedicated to their students' success on and off the campus.
    I am still very new to the campus, but so far my experience has been awesome. There are graduate programs for those looking to extend their education into a master's program.
    Athletics are exciting at Presbyterian. Football, baseball, soccer,gynmastics, golf, and basketball or some of the many sports we have here at Presby. The student-athletes are just that, students AND athletes. Coaches want to ensure their athletes' success in the classroom and the field, court or mats. Study hall is required for freshman and highly recommended after that.
    This is going to be and has been an exciting time in my life and looking forward to the rest of my time here on campus.
    A school’s size may be a deciding factor for a lot of students when choosing their school. I never thought that I would want to go to a small private school, but now I couldn’t imagine going to a large college! It is so nice knowing all of my professors personally and having them know me as well. It makes SUCH a huge difference when it comes to your studies! There is a huge difference in attending a lecture with 20 people than attending a lecture with 500+.
