Pierce College Fort Steilacoom

"I attended this college and they are always helpful with anything you need. No question goes unanswered. The professors are very good and really demonstrates that they are there to help the students succeed. I had a good experience with them."

"My experience as a former alumni was not satisfactory. While attending, I was assigned about 3-4 different academic advisors in within two years since many of them would resign from their positions. The issue with that was the lack of support and guidance I received as the new staff would be overwhelmed with students needing multiple documents and tasks to complete hence they were not properly taking care of students individual needs accordingly. One of many struggles and instances I encountered were finding an internship to complete for my degree which caused a great amount of stress in my life. Friends who were attending other colleges mentioned how their schools were on top of things and would often ask me, is your school not helping you this or that? Most of the time my answers were, no… Lastly, Towards the end before graduating, my last academic advisor who was also my professor managed to schedule me in for a couple of appointments to catch up on everything I needed and through teams video he would rush me off after only 5 minutes in and I would have to stop him and tell him I have more questions. I do plan on continuing my education however I have no interest of coming back to Pierce College."

"This place sets you up for failure. Not an ideal place to learn. They dont even teach anymore. Poorly organized, rude professors, hacked all summer, and couldn’t email anyone. Nobody answers the phone. They should be sued for their incompetence. Classroom environment violates free speech. The Digital Design Department is a mess, and they lack knowledge to support their students who have inquiries and questions. Don’t waste your time here folks. It’s all a facade. Advising here is a joke: nobody seems to be empowered with knowledge or infrastructure for successful advising. My advisers constantly changed and they were always confused. I find this institution to be classist, and doesn’t understand basic concepts of equity and inclusion."

"I graduated with my associates in 2019 as a running start student and man was that year a BALL especially when “Aspire” was a program (I absolutely adored dawn "

"I used to love this college until COVID hit. Now it's mostly dead. Don't go for the vet tech program here. They'll only accept "proficient" rankings from the teas test. Which ,btw, they won't even tell you. If you're not proficient find another vet tech school. Also, these guys had a security breach on 10/25/23 and now have unauthorized data of me and my brother who wasn't even registered in this college! It's a nice place, plenty of history, but I won't ever consider this college."
