WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
"I like that PSC is a small college. It’s not a gigantic campus and people get to know you – you're not just an ID number. I find I learn better when I can more easily engage with my environment."
- Jules Perrenot, France
"何よりスタッフや先生たちにはフォリオ制作や日常生活まで多くをサポートして頂けて安心した学生生活を送ることが出来ました。"
- Masatoshi Kobayashi, Japan
"One of the main reasons I chose to study here was that the class sizes were not too big so I thought I could get closer to the teachers. Also seeing all the students and staff winning awards made it even more attractive. "
