| - I visited my alma mater (Class of 87) last Friday and was impressed by the hospitality and continued upkeep of the campus since I was there in 1987 for graduation. So much has remained and so much has changed- suddenly there's a sign about [adorable] feral cats on the property (I managed to photograph a cat sighting running across the grounds). Just "don't feed" them, right? And, TVs (with closed-captioning on). And, a mural. And, a terrarium. And, a large memorabilia display window (they had a prom??). And, an ATM. And, a Starbucks right on campus. And, a new parking garage. I walked the entire campus and even ate lunch inside the remodeled Hannelly Center dining hall or cafeteria (now nicknamed Bear Cave' Café).and munched on 2 yummy slices of veggie pizza made from scratch (approx 15-min wait and worth it). It didn't taste like dorm food ;) The guy who made that pie of pizza was polite and even carried a wheelchair user's lunch towards the table. The Student Union (Bear's Den) has been revamped to fit within today's means i.e. WiFi lounge. There are many little newer offices/signage in many buildings to better accompany students- even the Honors has its own share of the building with the Bookstore. Yes, I was an Honors student ;)
Overall, it just felt nostalgic hanging around the quaint campus that transported me back in time where I felt like a teen again! I loved observing the old buildings again still standing, as well as some of the newer ones. I attended NAU first, then transferred my credits to PC, to ASU, and then back to PC to receive a degree in special education. Remember, this is a college located in Arizona, so the level of education falls within, umm, Arizona standards. Again, as with any college, only you can truly educate yourselves- no matter where you attended for higher learning or formal education. Do not let the faculty or staff let you down or scare you off- stay put and get your degree towards a decent future. Every school always has some lout working there- just report that. I made it and have survived for 30 years :)
Phoenix College (PC ) is an accredited junior or community college that was established in 1920 and has a sustainable history of comprehensive academic programs where you can earn a 2-year Associate's degree both on-campus & online, as well as certificate and social programs. If you are smart and scored a 3.5 GPA, join the Honors, take classes from there, and earn tuition rebates and scholarships. Maybe they'll invite you to join, like they did to me then. If you're an alum, sign up with the PC Alumni Association (PCAA) on the official PC website and keep up to date on the campus news & happenings via Bear Tracks newsletter (glossy hard copy @ office or by mail & .pdf format), as well as earning benefits (i.e. privileges at Fannin Library, induction to annual Hall of Fame) and supporting the college. I served as a board member back in mid-2000s. I am a proud Bears alumnus! Good luck and happy learning :)
