Students who have an affinity towards sports can combine studies with champion soccer, basketball or eSports teams! Student athletes must undergo a strict selection process and be selected by the coaches as PC teams are highly competitive; the results show in their successes!

Peninsula College encourages students to be 'leaders' and strives to offer leadership opportunities for students to develop 'soft skills' or emotional intelligence to make them more well-rounded and competitive when they transfer to four-year universities for continuing studies, or return home to begin their work career. Students can join clubs, work on campus (based on position availability), work off-campus after completion of one year of study, and apply for scholarships. Students can live in study housing located only two blocks from campus and enjoy classes that are small enough to reallly engage with instructors and classmates.

As PC operates on quarter system, students have ample time between quarters to explore Washington State, Canada, and other states in the US, as well as Mexico. Classes are operate on a four-day weekly schedule, so students can get th emost from enjoyng long weekends!
