Piedmont Virginia Community College
- For other uses of "PVCC", see the disambiguation page.
Piedmont Virginia Community College is Chris's collegiate alma mater, a community college located in Charlottesville, Virginia. At PVCC, Chris earned an Applied Science Associate's Degree in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design. After five years of study, Chris earned his degree; astute observers will note that associates' degrees usually take students two years in the U.S. He also made the Dean's List, or so he claims.[1]
In the Sonichu comics, PVCC is the realm of the evil witch Mary Lee Walsh. In real life, Walsh, in her role as Dean of Student Affairs, gave Chris a hard time on his Love Quest and at points shattered his heart, lowering his level to nearly zero. Chris took revenge in his own inimitable fashion, making her into a character in his comics: the evil witch in command of a villainous group known as the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens.
Chris began classes in PVCC in September 2000. For reasons unknown, even to Chris, he originally chose "Marketing" as his major. Or, more likely, his father chose it for him. Bob quickly transferred Chris to the CADD course, as this was in the days before he had completely given up on the idea that his son will become a functioning adult.[2]
Kicked out of English
Chris's first great PVCC trauma occurred when he was kicked out of an English class on his birthday.
Chris at one point claimed that his class was reading Wednesday's Child, a story about an autistic girl who brutally murders people.[3] Chris said that he told his male professor that by golly, he was autistic too! This allegedly resulted in Chris's ejection from that class on 24 February 2003, Chris's twenty-first birthday. According to Chris, the reason was the professor's misunderstanding and fear of autism. Chris cried and later passed the course when he retook it with a female professor.
Of course, there is more to this story than Chris lets on. In conversations with his gal-pals years afterward, Chris admitted that the topic of homosexuality had come up in a group discussion in class. Chris made a derogatory and inappropriate comment (in his words, he emitted "exclamations you'd likely hear from a black person in church"), and was promptly told to leave.[4]
After being kicked out, Chris sat at a table by himself and cried. As well as reinforcing Chris's hatred of men, this event also inspired Chris to begin his Love Quest.[5]
Kicked out of college
The college itself is intolerant of those who are Love Questing, and makes extra effort to cockblock any males on its campus by brutally censoring any signs that show the least bit of interest in romance; after all, Virginia is for Virgins.
By mid-October 2003, Chris had been using his Attraction Sign for two months without success. Mary Lee Walsh, under the impression that Chris was soliciting sex, seized the sign, yelled at him in "a very violent manner," and harshly criticized his methods. Chris made a new sign, only to see Walsh sabotage his plot once again a few weeks later. This served only to make Chris rage and spam the college with his ridiculous Sonichu's News Dash! newsletter. As a result, Walsh gave Chris a stern lecture, and following a violent outburst on his part, banned him from PVCC for a year, made him take an anger management course, and forced him to see a shrink.[6] To this peculiar chain of events we owe the eventual release of the autism papers.
Graduation
After spending five years on a degree that normally takes only two, Chris graduated with an associate's degree in Applied Science and a CADD certificate. Chris has repeatedly and falsely claimed to have two degrees.[7][8][9][10][11]
Compared to his high school graduation, he didn't seem to give a fuck. Notably, Chris wore not only his Sonichu medallion, but his gown, tassel, and honor roll sash from high school to his college graduation.
Graduation
Such is his disdain for college, he's wearing the medallion and the same shirt of fail he draws himself in.
And as usual, Chris couldn't care less and he disrobed himself like a little kid.
His Associate of Applied Science degree.
His CADD certificate. Chris insists this is a degree, but the Commonwealth of Virginia begs to differ.
"Student featured in Nintendo Power."
PVCC as viewed by Chris
Christian Weston Chandler refers to Piedmont Virginia Community College as the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (abbreviated PVCCitizens; or, on one occasion, as Piedmont Virginity College[12]) due to the grudge he holds against the college. Within the context of his Sonichu comics, Christian has characterized the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens as the headquarters for the activities of the villains of CWCville.
As you can imagine, when the troll message boards were created, it just had to be christened with this name.
