If you, like me, are at the college age, and are looking for a school to attend, I might be able to help you out. If you live in Florida, you've likely heard of a place in Pensacola called PCC. It's a small school of about 5000 students, and unless you've been there, or know somebody who has, any information you have about it may be tainted.
Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent college if you're dedicated to academics; but apart from that, it's a veritable Spanish Inquisition HQ. The rules there are not simply rigid; half of them don't even make sense. The dress code isn't so bad; it'll only cost you a small fortune. Ironically, the one thing the college has going for it is the tuition. At a little over $7000 a YEAR (including books and room & board), most people can (or try to) deal with the rules.
But it's not just about rules, now is it? It's about attitude. And unfortunately the majority attitude is a sickening combination of totalitarianism (administration) and sheep (students).
For example, on each floor of each dorm building, there are two people called "floor leaders" who are charged with upholding the rules for that floor. These people will make or break your year, and our floor got stuck with a guy named Daniel Schwalbe. This guy took sadistic pleasure in handing out demerits (the on-campus discipline system. Too many demerits and you're outta there!). I know for a fact that he even broke into my computer looking for "contraband." (illegal games, music, etc.) And did I mention he had the gay lisp? Well, he did.
I say all that to say this: DO NOT ATTEND PCC UNLESS YOU ARE INSANE OR LIKE TAKING ABUSE!
I'm finishing my Sophomore year there next semester. I must be insane.

Take Daniel Schwalbe, bend him over, and break it off in his ASS.
Problem solved.
