The girl's skirts aren't long enough when they're sitting down, they wear culottes for sports, the prescribed swimwear isn't suitable (even though swimming is segregated of course) etc, etc.

From the "Handbook"
I. MUSIC RESPONSIBILITY
1. Music Standards--At Pensacola Christian College,
we feel it important that our students learn to
appreciate and be involved in music that enhances
their Christian testimony. Therefore, students are
encouraged to listen to classical, semiclassical and
good Christian music. The fine arts staff of the
College acknowledges its responsibility to provide
musical experiences designed to develop the appetites
of our students for such music.
The following types of music are not permitted:
a. Current popular music
b. Jazz, rock, rap, folk, "Nashville" type, or new age
music
c. Religious music performed in the folk, western
rock, or gospel rock style
d. Soundtracks from movies rated PG-13, PG, or below
[page 14]
Because the easy-listening music on local radio
stations is consistently rock music, the only station
we recommend in Pensacola is 89.5 Rejoice Radio.
FREAKIN'MUSIC NAZIS!!

woah... And people are 100% sure that this *isn't* a piss take. I bet all the kids are closet weed smokers though, this kind of regulation breeds rebellion.
Good people of the world should take it upon themselves to free these poor souls of such oppression. Perhaps with aerial drops of AC/DC records and bottles of vodka?

From Bluegrass:
My church recently visited the college, and many did not approve. They have very low dress standards. (Ex. Girls wear shorts to play volleyball in) I do not approve of that at all! I also don't agree with them competing with secular universities.
As far as guys and girls not walking together, and being in the same elevator, I do agree with their stand on that. I just don't see why they couldn't have those kind of standards in the rest of the college.
Truth is stranger than fiction. There are no other words to say about this.

It's an unaccredited fundamentalist Baptist school, so only fundies will ever go there and get worthless degrees, like Kent Hovind's, so they can become sock puppets for their pastors.
Perfect place for fundie sheeple to send their brainwashed kids to.

If Pensacola CC has a sports department, they must advocate only those that do not permit physical contact. No football, basketball, etc. Otherwise, how do prevent dramatic PR shots of a tackle bringing down a QB, for example?
Unless, of course, they were married. Which brings up another question...

They might as well have a rule where you should walk around with a blind fold and have to hold your breath everywhere you go.

The only thing I can think of to describe this is Puritanical Fascism.
I would't last even 5 seconds on this campus before I would have been forcibly ejected.
I would have shown up wearing a red rubber tank dress with thigh high stretch boots, pink hair, and playing Marilyn Manson loudly on my iPod.

@ Berny - thank you for checking what this school is.
I've been going over the school rules.
men must wear "dress sweats" for any athletic activity where women are present.
What the fuck are dress sweats?
A swimming suit/shorts may not be worn while traveling to the beach, although there are no changing rooms at the men's required beach.
Well how else are the staff perverts supposed to get their jollies?
You may not wear pants in your dorm, although sweats ARE permitted after prayer group.
Okay, this is a rule for women, but if this schools so fundie, what the hell?
"Wimin shudnt be doin that thar book lurnin, they shud be hum makin babys."
I mean if your so damn fundamental that women shouldn't wear pants in their own private areas. Why are they learning at all? Unless of course the staff have "security" camera's in the dorm for the "students protection".
No extra studying during exams.
Well it's fairly obvious that book learnin isn't why people go to this school
Siblings of the opposite sex should not interact in unchaperoned areas to abstain from the "appearance of evil."
Okay, the people who run this school are just plain sick if that's where their mind goes regarding siblings.
Check wikipedia, there's 4000 students going to this school. What a waste of peoples money.
Crap even fundies call it a cult

But I guess that's the colleges that home schoolers will go.
Although Rickross and such don't seem to have anything on it.

Y'know, Jesus as clasically depicted would not pass this school's dress and appearance code.

I think the idea is that other people wouldn't realize that they are siblings, and that they would therefore be breaking the rules. It's not that it's evil but that it "appears" evil to the uninformed.

so pedophilia is a good thing then?
i don't know if this was already mentioned, but that website was made by students at the college who were sick of being confined, and they couldn't speak out against anything. this is their way of speaking out.

Date outings? How the hell would any guys and girls *meet* to date? Pre-arranged dating?
Yeesh.
I think that a ton of us should go get ourselves enrolled there. First day of the semester, all hell would break loose. It'd be great. *Evil grin*

This school terrifies me.
I wonder what the students there feel like. Are they constantly worried they'll be expelled for unspecified reasons? Are they angry they can't even look at someone of the opposite sex for too long for fear of eye babies? Or does this all seem routine and normal to them?

"

If you're a guy, I triple dog dare you to do that.
What happens if you listen to classical/romantic music that was written by a Jewish person, such as Mahler? Or with pagan themes, like The Rite of Spring?

A few gems I enjoyed off that site...
While attending PCC, the number one measurement of your spiritual condition will be how well you obey the rules, and secondly, how much you turn in others who don't obey the rules.
Ah, but of course. The best way of making an effective, fascist rule is to turn the citizens against each other. When you can't trust your fellow man, you won't confide.
A swimming suit/shorts may not be worn while traveling to the beach, although there are no changing rooms at the men's required beach.
They're not even trying to make sense here. Just making it as difficult as possible, or at least unappealing for the students to have fun.
For White Glove weekend: "Men may wear jeans and collared shirts to breakfast this Saturday, [date of white glove], because of White Glove. Stone washed or acid washed denim should not be worn. Students must change immediately after breakfast."
Multi-colored polo shirts and khakis are acceptable "afternoon" dress (see the "Who's Who" section of the latest yearbook for examples); note, though, that this also applies to Saturday mornings, in which case the morning is converted to "afternoon" for clothing purposes. Sunday afternoon, though, is not "afternoon" for clothing purposes.
Completely, needlessly fussy.
It should be noted that at any time, the administration (or students authorized by the administration) may go through your room, unannounced, looking for anything unauthorized. Legally or not, this will include opening drawers and going through paperwork. You may or may not be present, and you may or may not be notified.
A landlord can't do this, why the hell should they be allowed to?
On weekdays, there are "quiet hours," during which you may not talk in the hall, close doors loudly, or sing in the shower.
Sing...in the shower...? Seriously?!
No local calls over 30 minutes.
The isolation factor here just SMACKS of Cult-like behavior.
No extra studying during exams.
WTF?!
As stated in the Student Handbook, leaving campus is a "privilege;" one which the administration will revoke as they see fit.
Do the words "Unlawful Confinement" mean anything to these people?
No more than twenty students may meet off-campus without specific permission.
What, do you think they're having rebel strategy meetings? Wait, given the austerity of the rules, I can't blame them.
No "paraphenelia" (posters, books, stickers, etc) associated with "non-passing" media is allowed in your dorm, on your person, or in your car.
The student's CAR?!
There is to be NO. . .
Having more than 8 people at a table in the Varsity Commons.
Back to those insurgents' meetings...
Lying or any form of deception (widely interpreted and applicable only to students).
But of course.
Attendance at a movie theater or unapproved concert/event.
What business is it of theirs'?!
And the shadowing is just downright wrong...

O_O Dear Lord. If I ever wind up there through some horrible mistake, please, please shoot me.
(What happens when they find something, like a labtop, that's password incrypted? Do they just try to crack it or do they drag you in and force them to allow them in?)
