McKayla

My overall opinion of Pierpont Community and Technical College is that the staff is very friendly and willing to help if you just reach out to them. The class sizes are very small which is nice because you get the attention from your professors that you may need. The campus is overall gorgeous no matter what season it is. There is always a sports activity to go or an activity to get involved in so you're never bored.

cody

Its a good school for the price of admission and has a wonder library as well as a fully equipped recreation center. The food is a little over priced for the quality but there but there is plenty of options in town. All and all its a good school compared to most in West Virginia.

Dorie

Pierpont is a decent school they have different options for eating and can work pretty good with the ingredients they have...staff is friendly but is a little slow at answering questions. Dorms are cleaned every day... Some if the class room building could use some updating though

Alaina

I believe I have chosen a great campus for my studies. I would most definitely recommend this campus and college for future students and my friends.

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Pierpont Community and Technical College is 100%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    The advice that I would give myself as a high school senior would be to not slack. It is so hard to not slack because of all of the stress that you are under but if you can get through it you will be better off. The reason I say this is because if you slack you are less likely to get scholorships and such to go to school, you miss many oppurtunities that you could have had otherwise, and you end up working harder on down the road and possibly long than you would have if you would have tired harder. Always try to do your best and never settle for less. You cannot get anywhere by sleeping all day. Make sure that you make your friends wisely and they will always be there for you.
