I attended few classes in person at PRCC. I wish that I was able to attend more classes in person and be involved more in the activities there. From observation of emails the school always had great events for the students and kept us updated on any important information. I loved all of my professors there. I loved everything I knew about PRCC!

Pearl River Community College is amazing! I have made tons of friends and also have had great teachers! The teachers really make it a priority to help you in any way possible. I have had a great experience at PRCC and can't wait to start the dental hygiene program in the fall!

I have loved being a student at Pearl River Community College, I have been on both the Poplarville campus and the Hattiesburg campus. I did not have a good dorm experience, the roommate assignment is randomly selected unless a specific roommate is requested and my roommates did not match me. I will also say my door room was terrible, I rarely had hot water, my sink never drained properly, and I have a mouse in my dorm, not because of it being dirty I kept it clean. But I have loved most of my teachers and classes
