Prince George’s Community College

I started attending PG fall of 2014. I should be graduating by Spring 2018, so this review might get updated. My opinion is that PG is what you make it. I don’t think it’s «like a high school» or «ghetto» or «like the 13^th grade». I’ve had my fair share of bad professors and good professors.
will help you differentiate between them though. I’m involved in different clubs and events at school, the tuition is afforable (not cheap, but affordable) and they have a cool matching program so I can get my books for even cheaper. PG is good for me. It gets the job done. Can’t wait to graduate with my business admin. a.a.s in a couple years.

One star too many. I was a student there and they engaged in Pell Grant Fraud and Veterans fraud. Im in the process of suing the school. The President Charles Dukes is a vindictive liar and evil person. One teacher was fired because i told on her for trying to take off for two weeks during a five week class SAD AND PATHETIC.

Sometimes you have to find the right person to help you because others at this school just disregard you

PGCC is all about what you make it. I had a blast while I was here. Yes, some of the staff and students were rude, but that is expected anywhere! The only bad thing about PGCC is the MATH DEPARTMENT! That department makes me cringe! The teacher’s who teach math there sucks! All of the other core GenEd classes are pretty good. I am transferring this fall into a 4 year institution. The campus is clean and the library is quiet and peaceful. Farewell PGCC!

Ok PGCC, here is another reason why PG gets a bad rap. I signed up to take a non-​credit class on Notary Public. The classroom was locked & professor & students were waiting for someone with a key to open the classroom in the Center of Advanced Technology (CAT) Bldg. I hope this ordeal isn’t indicative of the class & college.
The instructors are Elaine Wright & Frederick Harris who are very personable & knowledgeable.
PGCC gets 3 stars because of the instructors: I’d give the instructors 5 stars…
If I take another class, I may increase my rating for PGCC.

This review is specifically for the Department of Nutrition, Foods, and Hospitality Management Program:
I am working on a project this Summer. I have been doing informational interviews before going forward. I reached out to the head of the Department, (not naming no names) had a few conversations over the phone and via email, she encouraged me to come visit her during her office hours.
The hours were a bit inconvenient for me as I work downtown during the day. I set aside time during work hours and she told me to come over at 2:30pm on a weekday. I get there and she is gone.
No message that something came up, no follow up call. I got to her office and the staff present said she was nowhere to be found? I waited a few days for her to follow up with me, but nothing, not even after I left her a handwritten note and called her office and left her a message saying that I had arrived. I hung around for at least a half hour. Well after all of that I just decided this is one course I won’t be taking at PGCC– some Hospitality!

The school itself is pretty good. Ive had my share of great and terrible teachers. More good than bad. I’ve been here for 2 ½ years and what i can say its… ehh…The students, honestly, are a handful in my opinion. There are a lot of immature young people here and it gets in the way for those students who aren’t. Like in the classroom, unnecessary disturbances go on. :(and the people who hang out in the «Hollow tree» area are pretty creepy!!! so you have Students who apply themselves, a lot of slackers, and a lot of loud people…:/…the schools good, students (as a majority) not as much.

It has been over twenty years ago when I was a young wet behind the ears college student. I was a very good student in high school, but when I started college my grades were at best average to say at least. I have taken some course at PGCC and transferred to University of MD College Park. I was flunking out of UMCP and was on academic dismissal. I went back to PGCC got my AA degree and returned to College Park and graduated. I wasn’t that great of a student but I was so fortunate that a couple of professors and counselors had believed in me where I didn’t get any emotional support from family, friends and coworkers. If you are a first generation college student, I highly recommend that you get an AA degree then transfer to a 4 year college. University of Maryland is a great school, however the professors will not take the time to work with you. You are on your own in a huge campus. I am sure PGCC has changed immensely since I left there 20 yrs ago. It is probably a lot better now that technology is changed education.

The swim program is what I’m reviewing. My daughter’s swim team practices here. It’s clean, staff is friendly, there is a hot tub, a handball court, basketball court, and weight room. Entry fee is pretty cheap.

Helped me out a lot!
For the exception of one time, this school really came through for me when I didn’t do so well in a few classes during my undergrad. Most of summer courses matched the courses of my full time undergraduate institution (
), so there wasn’t any problem with the credits earned from PGCC transferring over. All of my professors were very empathetic and worked closely with students to make sure they understood the lessons and concepts being taught. I highly recommend this school for any college student who may need to go somewhere over the summer to make up for credits not earned during the regular school year.

This is a review of the swimming pool at PGCC.
The pool is clean and well maintained. It’s a ⁵⁰⁄₂₅ meter pool with lane lines running both ways. During lap swim I’ve never had to share a lane. There is a deep section for diving with two 1 meter spring boards.
The locker rooms are nice and everything works in them. There is also a jacuzzi available.
