One thing I remember about PC was that the courses were well-organized, allowing students like me to clearly recognize what is expected and what is not in higher education. This increases the chances for students to be able to succeed in their four years at MUIC and enhances their ability to strive. As students in the program were from different schools across the country, PC helped set standards and helped students transition from being teenagers to young adults while getting acclimated to the new environment. I met many good friends there, and we continued to help each other throughout our MUIC courses. The PC staff was helpful, and I am still in touch with a few of them today.
I would say that all PC course components and learning objectives were clearly defined and structured. The courses helped me grow as an independent young adult, getting ready for real college life with more expectations and pressure. I would say that PC sets up students like me for success by helping to navigate so that I could pursue my own journey successfully. Although I had to make big adjustments in my habits and behavior, I was glad that I attended PC as it helped me manage the demands of college life and broadened my perspectives.
As you grow up, you realize that not everyone is willing to allow you to try, make a mistake, and then try again until you succeed, but PC is one of those rare places. It serves as a transitioning place to help you prepare while learning what is essential in reaching your full potential. All learning components are well-structured, which fosters good study habits, and those turn into a solid work ethic when you step into the professional world. I see PC as a place that builds a foundation upon which you can continue to build, not just during your time at MUIC, but also throughout your career.
