Miyoko - 08/09/2024

​​It is a very cost-effective and inviting school. The food is surprisingly good. I've never had anything from the cafeterias that I didn't like. Many of the professors I've had there have been friendly and inviting. I've enjoyed my time there, especially in communications class. The counselors are very helpful and understanding. Overall, it's a very good school.

Aniyah - 06/18/2024

Great college for those who want to get an easy start in their college life! At first, I was skeptical to do community college because of how easy it seemed, thinking college had to be a challenge the whole way. However, I soon realized that college doesn't need to be hard, it can be easy and affordable when you take the steps to make it easier on yourself. PGCC has amazing staff and resources for its students and adults who want to take a class on some material they want to learn.

Junior - 10/26/2023

I really like it here at Prince George's Community College because it's simple and provides the necessary. The campuses are not too big, and so are the classes, which is why it's pretty easy to get along with others. The professors are also very understanding and know what they're teaching.

Alona - 07/09/2023

My opinion of Prince George's Community College is that it's a good school. I was in a scholarship that had some good opportunities for students. They have a lot of groups, nice staff, and good food. There are some difficult professors, but there are some really good professors who care about their students and want them to pursue their passions. If you need a good school to start your career off, go with Prince George's Community College. You will see a lot of familiar faces, and you'll just right at home.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Dear Keshia, This is a letter that you need to read before you leave for school this semester. Open up those books and go to work! Nothing can defeat and overcome your will and power to learn--not even teachers and difficult reading assignments. Push through. Only you can uncover your deep desire to learn, finish school, and continue achieving your dreams. Please do not listen to your high school classmates. They do not have the experience to help you make the decisions that weigh so heavily on your future. Use trusted sources, school counselors and a college catalog can go a long way in helping you to break through that freshman glass ceiling. Hear with your ears, see with your eyes. Sink into and allow yourself the privilege to fully immerse into your only college experience. A promise of many golden opportunities awaits; I know I can do it! Love, Keshia

  3. Describe the students at your school.

    Attending a community college has allowed the possibility to communicate with older adults; the traditional university setting is somewhat boxed in.; what I mean by that is, the students who attend the traditional universities are around the ages of seventeen to about twenty two or so; some of the students I met are in their mid to late twenties; even some were in their thirties or forties and that did not bother me one bit; seeing as they were older than me, they shared a lot of interesting stories with me; from these experiences, my classmates are amazing!

  5. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    I feel that the worst truth I could tell about Prince Georges Community College is that they do not provide a nurturing environment where students can learn and grow. When students really need help from the advisers or registrar they just hit them with roadblocks and unrealistic rules. They do not offer alternatives or sugesstions to help with each students' questions or concerns. The college just seems like a bank that only takes deposits-- the students are not reaping any benefits from the relationship if they cannot register for the classes that they need.

  9. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    i would advise anyone who can afford to go to a four college to come to PGCC because it takes longer when come to this school to acheive what you want. it takes longer because my experience here is that, they do not plan the semesters for you like a four year instution does. you go with your own pace and for me i don't think that is a good idea for individuals who do not have that much responsibilities yet.
