Pacific University is a home away from home filled with amazing faculty and opportunities to branch out.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I can't compare Pacific's classes to other colleges, haven't never attended any other, but I can say for certain that the learning opportunities offered by the school are diverse and engaging. In my experience within the English Department, at least, no two professors share too-similar teaching styles--there is a lot of diversity within the way they go about things, which allows for Pacific students to learn about and look at similar topics from vastly different perspectives.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms at Pacific are, for the most part, very nice and enjoyable to live in, and each is managed by an amazing RA staff. Though some of the buildings and floors are older and need to be refurbished, the sense of community within the dorms is something to be applauded, particularly within the freshmen dorms. The upper class dorms are all new and beautiful, as well.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Pacific's dining services are perhaps the one area where things fall flat. There has been a lot of controversy even within the past year and a half over the school's food supplier, Aramark, and complaints about the quality of the food are neither rare nor unfounded. Still, the dining staff itself are all awesome, and the dining hours are easy enough to remember. On top of that, dining services (along with Greek life) occasionally put on big dinners before things like winter break, and these are always delicious.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a lot of things around campus for students to do, from intramural sports to non-intramural sports to theater and choir and band shows. Adding in other events and organizations, like the Open Mic Nights put on by ACE Board, and there is no shortage of things to do on a given day.
