Pierce College at Puyallup Reviews

Rating 3.89 out of 5 507 reviews

Rating 4 out of 5

It’s a small school so it’s relatively easy to find everything. Professors can be either really awesome, or just okay. I had one issue with a very mean and strict instructor that many students agree with, but that was really the only complaint there. To add, they have amazing tutors and an amazing math center as the individuals there helped me learn so much and even helped me catch up on late homework by working out problems step by step with me!

Places like the book store have strange hours as they close quite early around 2-4 PM but the customer service is friendly and helpful.

The cafeteria had amazing food, no complaints, and again had very friendly workers!

Lastly, I do not think there is much of a party scene at the college nor have I heard about too many clubs. Albeit, I was invited to a few gaming clubs or hangout sessions but I do not think I noticed many athletic clubs.

Overall, this is a solid school and I’m more than happy to say I earned my Associates here.

Review Pierce College at Puyallup

Rating 4 out of 5

As I was getting my AA, I had a pretty good experience! It was during covid so I was super surprised with how organized they were with everything. The professors were all nice and pretty fair, with of course a few I didnt like and a few that went above and beyond to makes everyone's experience amazing!

Pierce College gives people a lot of opportunities for such a great price. All faculty and professors are there those of all ages, gender, ethnicity, and more. For any needs/wants, Pierce does an excellent job providing students with the best help. I have had a great two years doing Pierce, and the education level is great. I believe this is a great example of what a two-year college should run as. It allows students to learn, grow, and get college credits while not being completely overwhelmed and stressed out. Great environment!
