It is hard to escape from the community-centered culture at Life Pacific College. The students, staff and faculty are passionate, hard-working and genuine. Expect to be challenged for what you believe in, who you are, and what your purpose is on this little blue planet.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1. This isn't church-camp. It's fun, but it's hard.
2. Don't underestimate the power of a nap. You may be having an identity crisis--or you may just be sleep deprived. Decide when you wake up.
3. Build relationships with the professors--they love students and have a lot to offer.
4. If you're going to live on campus, invest in an area rug. It makes your dorm room feel a little more homey.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The content of the classes is focused and challenging. Most of all, these classes will teach you not what to think, but how to think for yourself. The introductory courses can seem monotonous, but the higher up the classes get, the better they are.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Bathroom checks are a drag. Living with quad mates is an exhilarating, testing and hilarious experience! I've learned to love people for who they are behind closed doors (because I can hear them through the walls).
Describe the food and dining at your college.
You do have options! The food has only improved since I've started attending, only last year. They have healthy options and tasty options. 85% of the time, I would say the food is on point. The other 15% of the time, I'll get salad.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Life Pacific College is near all types of fun--the Orange County beaches, Los Angeles, old town Pasadena, the mountains, Disney Land, hiking trails, and so much more!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Life Pacific College is the second cheapest accredited private college in southern California. It is roughly the same cost as a state school--but you get so much more!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are a few. There is a loose brick near our cafeteria in which students hide various objects, exchanging old things for new things. So far, I've found nothing good. Another unusual tradition is the upperclassmen compete in hiding a gnome around campus where others can't reach it. For the past year, it has been in our library on a ledge, extremely high up. The first time I saw it, I was startled. One last tradition is that every incoming freshman is required to decorate and wear a rainbow, felt beanie hat. There is a competition for who can decorate theirs the best.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who are interested in being licensed ministers, going into ministry, evangelists, missionaries, worship leaders, theologians, and Christian psychologists and business people.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Sports teams, school representatives, fine arts, worship teams. The school is working on improving this area of the school.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Very safe neighborhood (low crime rates). I rarely have fear of someone breaking in to my room or stealing things.
