I was just wondering if any of you guys are attending there. If so, can you tell me what the dress requirements and guidelines are like? I also have the same questions for any of you who are attending Liberty University or Samford University. We teamed up with Faith Counseling. Can they help you today? Jan 22, 2. I didn't attend PCC, but I did visit it during my senior year in high school that feels like so long ago now , and I know a number people who went there.
The dress code there during the day is mostly church-style clothes all the time. Guys have to wear dress shirts and ties, and girls have to wear dresses or skirts that are below the knee. Girls cannot wear jeans or slacks, and no one can wear shorts except at athletic events. I think that the dress code lets up slightly in the evenings, but it's still pretty strict. If you're familiar with Bob Jones University, the rules at the two colleges are comparable.
It is extremely strict--you can expect to get quite a few demerits while you are there no matter what you do. However, many people I know who went there wouldn't have it any other way. I've never been to Liberty, but I have a few friends who went there. It's not quite as strict as PCC, but it's pretty close. Here is a link to their student handbook, which includes the dress code: Sorry, I don't know anything about Samford.

Men may not give their suit jacket to their date. Members of the opposite sex may not interact in unchaperoned areas Siblings of the opposite sex should not interact in unchaperoned areas to abstain from the "appearance of evil. Playing of instruments of any kind in your room, or outside.
The only place to play on campus is in the practice rooms. Possession of an electric guitar or amplifier.
It had come to her attention that I was dating an African American man (I am white ). She told me that the school couldn't legally outlaw interracial dating, but that. "The Unofficial Pensacola Christian College Information Site". She told me that the school couldn't legally outlaw interracial dating, but that.
Listening to Rich Mullins. May 26, 4. One college I was looking at you couldn't hug someone of the opposite sex.. Not that I get hugs or anything, but if I was with my boyfriend I would want to hug him! And just about everyone I know who went to that particular college met their spouse there..
May 26, 5. Told to me by a former female student who had enough and transfered to Baptist Bible Collage in springfield Mo were I was attending. May 26, 6. I'm going to a Baptist university in September and it is more open minded, just with a Christian setting still in place but not like these ones. May 26, 7. Isn't Bob Jones University the school that got into a messy situation a few years back over a rule on interracial dating? I don't know why anyone would want to go to a school that honestly believes that interracial marriage goes against the teachings of God and should not be encouraged Last I heard, the rule was struck down, but students need to get a letter from their parents stating that they may date outside of their race.

May 27, I had never considered that some Christian colleges would have rules like this! I go to a Cal State school. Wow, and I thought I was too modest and conservative as it is. This makes me very glad that the Christian college I go to, Santa Clara University its a Jesuit university , is not like some of those colleges. Some years back, while living in Chicago, I attended a church were the chareman of the decon board was black and had a white wife. If I was lucky, they wouldn't.
I told myself to keep calm. Was I doing anything wrong? So I had nothing to be afraid of, no matter what they did to me But my emotional side was cringing in terror. Thankfully, they had no idea I was posting to the Student Voice. But I didn't know that. A Bible verse, posted on the wall of the Academic Center: I sat down and waited It's a favorite tactic; apparently it keeps you off guard and lets the paranoia build up.
While I was in the Dean's Office, and later on in my room, I wrote this in my diary [brackets denote explanatory material] I have no idea why, because I haven't broken any rules. Of course, there was the time I was too sick to go to church--" [Explanation here.
I'd been feeling bad all Sunday, but had made it to morning service. Note that the Clinic closes at about ten in the morning on Sundays. If you want to "check in"--which gives you permission to miss acttivites--you have to be there before then. As I was just about to leave for evening service, I started feeling very dizzy and dragged myself onto my bed. I must've passed out, because the next thing I remember is the church bells ringing.
I grabbed the phone and called the residence desk, telling them I was too sick to go to church and could they please tell the Residence Manager. Floor leader came in doing room checks, to see if anyone's trying to hide in their rooms and skip church. I don't feel good. Maybe it's my bill? You always prayed it was, anyway.
Three doors lead to offices; two of them are open; one is closed, and muffled sounds come from within. I think the rooms are probably sound proofed. A girl who looks Hispanic and speaks with a slight accent sits next to me. Her black braid reaches to the neck of her borderline-tight black tee shirt.
Openly homosexual students are allowed to attend classes, but they must commit themselves to the same standards of staunch chastity as their heterosexual peers. Jim Crow is gone? Creationism is founded on lies and exists by lies. Apparently, she has done so. Yet, a fraction of that die from guns. The college did not care about me or any of the students; they did not know the love of God; they loved rules and appearances more than people. To write that students are fully aware of the rules is a twist of the truth and reality.
She sniffs occasionally, leaning forward tensely on the couch and resting her elbows on her knees. Periodically, young men and women come in to ask about passes; the Deans are as nice as can be to them, but the muffled shouting from the closed door says clearly that when a student does not bow to the Administration, the Deans show very different colors.
The door at the end of the room is marked "Associate Dean of Student Life. The door is open; Mrs. Baer is on her lunch right now. It takes me a while, out of pure boredom, to get the girl sitting next to me to say anything; apparently protocol dictates that there should be no conversations waiting to be seen at the Dean's Office. They are likely to be expelled. The door that has been closed now opens, and another Hispanic girl exits, followed by a floor leader, her "shadow", and two Assistant Deans.
She looks tired and solemn. One of the Deans says that the girls have not had lunch yet; the floor leader who was in the closed room takes her charge to lunch, and another floor leader is called in to take my couch-mate. They are to come back to the Dean's Office afterwards, presumably for more questioning. An explanation of "shadowing": The procedure by which a student who is in trouble spends the day following a floor leader around, allowed to speak to no one but the floor leader, and forced to sleep on the floor of the FL's room at night.
A secretary ushers me into the room with the once-closed door. I stand awkwardly until Miss Wray asks me to take a seat. I am sitting on one of two chairs, much like the ones in my dorm, which face a heavy white desk. Perpendicular to the two chairs is a couch. On it, Miss Quinn sits with a yellow legal pad, pen poised to take notes.
