Pacific University

Pacific University has an extremely extensive course catalog for such a small school. They also cover a large amount of subjects, so students who go to college undecided have the ability to sample courses from many areas before deciding on a major. Plus, the wide variety means that once you have decided on a major, there is a high chance that Pacific will offer it - and if it doesn't, Pacific's design your own major program will allow you to create it yourself. This, as well as the fact the Pacific offers a liberal arts education, or a well-rounded education, means that simply in fulfilling the core requirements, all students will have the ability to survey different areas of study. Lastly, the student to teacher ratio is very low, so you will get to know almost all of your professors on a first name basis.

Pacific University has an extensive course catalog of basic classes, as well as in depth, career specific courses. As one who is undecided about my major, I appreciate the strong base of courses and large number of majors. While most of the majors I am considering are offered at Pacific, it adds extra security to know that I can create my own major with the guidance of an advisor, should I choose a major that Pacific does not normally offer. I am currently a freshman at Pacific University and have learned a lot just in my first semester. Each class I have taken was taught by a very knowledgeable and experienced faculty member. All professors I have come into contact with truly have the students best interests in mind and are tough, but fair in grading. Pacific University is an academically challenging school, which requires hard work, but offers an excellent education.

Pacific University is the perfect school for athletes, academically driven students, and students who love the rain. The academics are rigorous, but the teachers are extremely helpful. The spirit at this school is something that anyone can feel as soon as he or she steps foot on campus.

At Pacific, you a treated like a person not a number. Beyond that, their for year graduation rate is very high. So even it the price tag seems high, with scholarships and the ability to get all your classes in, it is a better deal by far

Pacific University is a home away from home filled with amazing faculty and opportunities to branch out.

pacific is a fantastic place to be. the people are welcoming like a family. and you always feel that you are an important part of the forest grove community.

Most of the teachers here at Pacific really care about you and how you are going about your college life. The teachers are also very understanding and do not mind taking extra time to help you out if you need it. If they feel that you are more advanced than you think, they will let you know and suggest a different class that is in your level.

The classes here are phenomenal. The professors interact directly with each student, and the class sizes stay small enough that you get to know your profs really well. This is not high school where you have to agree with the teacher because that's what's expected. Here, the profs encourage you to think for yourself and disagree with them. In an academic setting, of course, meaning you still have to respect that they are your instructor. But that's not hard, because the profs are good enough that most likely, you will respect them anyway. And they respect you back as students, which helps you to learn more. Yes, the work load can be killer, but it wouldn't be college, much less a private college, if you didn't have to actually work to get the grade and the education you are paying for.
