Looking back on their time at PC leaves students glowing with fond memories. Most appreciate the stimulating academics and whirlwind social scene that PC offers. While the occasional bout of homesickness is unavoidable, no one remarked that they were unsatisfied with their experience at PC. The worst response is a feeling of mere adequacy, that they received all they would have received at another school. The overwhelming majority look on their time spent at PC as a phenomenal learning experience that has assisted in developing them into the intellectually, emotionally, and socially well-rounded beings that they
are today. The brilliance of the education at PC is that it extends itself outside of the classroom. Your experience of PC can be anything that you want to make it. If you want to focus on academics, you can, and you will find a group of people who feel exactly the same way you do. If you want an education in socializing or just want your college years to be the wild and crazy ones you’ve heard they can be, PC has that, too. Most students come to PC ready to work and ready to have fun; as long as you are open-minded, PC will give you everything you desire.

"PC is the perfect school—I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I love it here. There is something about this school; honestly, I have never found someone who didn’t absolutely love it!" |
|
"I could not imagine myself anywhere but here. Socially, intellectually, and emotionally, I have grown so much in the past three years. I’ve met my absolute best friends in the entire world. I’ve learned about everything from medieval art, to the church in today’s world, to Web page making. The best advice that I have to give is to get involved." |
|
"I am absolutely and completely in love with Providence College. I transferred after my first semester of freshman year at Virginia Tech. I had the opportunity to experience another kind of school. PC offers so much in its well-rounded academic education and its opportunities to meet other amazing students that attend PC. But under no circumstance do I wish I was somewhere else. I am sad to say I only have two years left, and I hope these years go by as slow as possible because the last year and a half have been the best time of my life." |
|
"School is pretty good. The academic schedule at PC is very challenging, with teachers who really push their students to the limit, which is important for intellectual growth. Also, I have made long-lasting relationships with people on campus, so I really couldn’t see myself anywhere else. Although I had the opportunity to go to tons of other schools with better varsity teams, Greek life, campuses, and maybe even better-looking girls, I think I made the right choice with Providence College." |

"This is the only place I can see myself becoming who I am today. Providence College provides the means to have people reach their potential. This school is awesome." |
