Time management is very important with the work load you will get your first semester. Don't wait until the last minute to do your assignments and also, think ahead of how much time you will REALLY need to spend on your big projects. And one more thing; my friend Steven, who had been attending LPC for sometime now, told me something I will never forget, Forget grades! What he meant by that is, it is more important to focus on the context of what we are learning rather than going through the motions to get a good grade on it.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Our professors genuinely want us to succeed and excel at not only academics, but our personal relationship with God as well as our own personal lives. They are intentional with their time in and out of the classroom towards the students and quite frankly, relate to the students more than you would expect of the average college professor.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms are separated by three buildings: girl, boy, and a combo dorm (two floors: one strictly for boys, one strictly for girls). All of which accommodate each student properly. Each floor contains four quads (sub-areas) which contain 4 rooms (2 people per room). Each floor has an R.A. or Resident Assistant, as well as a Sponsor for each quad. The Sponsor is basically a camp counselor for your quad; both the R.A. and the Sponsor are responsible for answering any questions new students may have, keeping the rooms and bathrooms clean (accountability), as well being a friend to the students. They also plan special quad-family times to keep a close relationship with each resident along with floor events for the entire floor you are on.
Because of our location, students have access to a number of different activities like: trips to Disneyland, Six Flags, going to the nearby beaches, Hollywood or any of the LA metropolitan areas. Even on campus you can experience things like the Fall and Spring Social, our Luau, Coffee House, and other fun activities that our Res Life plans for the school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is one specific tradition that comes to mind; however, I cannot reveal that tradition.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Student that are looking to have a strong academic or spiritual base in their college career. Also, this school is the premier pastoral school in the nation, so this is perfect for students who are looking to serve vocationally.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
While there aren't many clubs on campus, there are plenty of organized activities for students to bond and create relation over. Some of the activities include ASB, Res Life, our Improv. group, and other types of activities that are orchestrated by the students.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Because we are a Bible College and are a small private school (less than 500 students), we do not have a Greek Life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
While we have had a few non-student related thefts, there is still a high level of safety on and within the campus.
I love LPC (Life Pacific College). It is filled with tremendous accountability, encouragement, and motivation to succeed in not only academics, but in our relationship with Christ. As cliché as it sounds, we are properly being prepared for a lifetime of ministry.

Our Café is run primarily by students, overseen by trained culinary specialists. We receive a number of options with a short order grill; salad, cereal, and deli bar; and of course, the frontline option (the main dishes). We also have our own coffee shop (the Loop) to satisfy all of your coffee, tea, and other snack food type items; this is also run primarily by students.
