"I would have had a very good time and experience at Providence. I learned a great deal and had many great opportunities while there."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would highly recommend Providence to prospective students pursuing an administrative or technological career. The staff is great, the resources second to none, and the fun was there. |
| Program Reputation | 6 | The school was very small and probably not as well known in the industry. However, my good grades and hard work may have changed the opinions of those businesses interested in recruiting administrative and technological relation experts. |
| Program Quality | 9 | My program prepared me for what my job requires. Also, the degree I received allowed me to further my career objectives allowing for a higher paying job. |
| Instruction | 8 | After graduation from PC, I felt very well prepared for the world and career in technology and computers. I was recruited at one of the school's job fairs and my career in the industry took off from there. |
| How Difficult | 7 | I did not feel that the program was incredibly challenging, but it was not too easy. The world load was probably the biggest struggle, but I was moonlighting in the technology and computer industry while going to school. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | At the time the PC was more book learning, but has probably changed in the time since I left. The libraries were very well stocked and book learning at the time was alright even though technology and administrative work is more of a hands on type profession. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 6 | The program was inflexible probably because it was so small. It was mainly during regular school days and hours and I attended before online opportunities were offered at PC. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | The school was very rich in history and had some of the finest facilities. The library and resources as well as study areas were superb likely because of the size of the school. |
| Social Life | 9 | I had a very good time while at PC. The school spirit was very high in spite of the little athletic presence. Parties were not too common, but occasionally held and were quite fun. |
| Placement Services | 10 | I was able to get a job in my field right out of school. The school held job fairs every semester and in my final semester I was recruited by a big technology and administrative department. |
| Alumni Network | 9 | I would highly recommend this school just based on the networking skills. I received a job right out of school as a result of attending a school sponsored job fair. |
