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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
scholarships, scholarships, scholarships. pacific is pricy, yes. but it is worth any amount of money you could pay. so keep hunting for those scholarships.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
pacific is a school that seems difficult to most. it demands success. let's face it, you would't pay around 45k to not be successful in your college career, and that's that way that pacific treats you. they treat you like a student that is there to learn and become someone very important in today's society.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
dorm life is absolutely fantastic. it is like living in a mini suburb. you get to leave your doors open when you're studying just so that you can meet new people and become a family with the people in your hell. i have felt a sense of community here at pacific than i didn't even feel at home. i know so many people, and am proud to say that i met them all just by living on campus.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the food here isn't exactly a home cooked meal, but we have a ton of variety that i haven't seen at other schools. we have a salad bar, pizza bar, pasta bar where your food is prepared right in front of you, a sushi bar, a mongolian grill where the food is also prepared right in front of you, a wrap and sandwich station, a home cooking station, and a grill that makes anything form burgers to philly cheesesteaks. so in other words, you can pretty much have something new almost everyday.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
for fun in forest grove, there is free bowling for students on thursday nights at the local bowling alley, which is a very popular activity. we have a huge athletic complex where you can run on the track outside, play football or soccer on either our indoor or outdoor turf field, workout in the fitness center, or just chill around campus. my friends and i usually will head out to portland for some weekend fun though. you can easily hop on the bus or the train and get to portland in about an hour, where there is so much to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
pacific may seem pricy, but the education that you get here is some of the best in the state. you are prepared for the real world and for the workforce from day one. nobody babies you here, you are taught to be self-reliant, to time manage, and to be responsible for your own life. but in return most students graduating from pacific are hired right out of college by just having a degree with pacific university stamped across the top.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
we have a spirit bench that has been made into the special spray paint bench. in the middle of the night you can go paint the bench and put whatever you want on it. the game is not to get caught, if you are caught painting it, it is said that you get a huge stroke of bad luck, we also have a building close to campus that is just offices, that is said to be haunted by a friendly ex-music major, that loves to turn lights on and off in the night.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
pacific is great for the types of students that are serious about their future. if you are going to school to party, then pay half the price and go to some state university. here you will get a top education that is going to carry you through life. but don't get me wrong, you still get to have fun.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
i am a member of the german club and we meet once a week on wednesday. we also have so many other clubs, we have sororities, housing associations, intramural sports, and clubs for every language out there.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
we have around ten sororities here at pacific. my roommate happens to be in one of them. we have a pledge week just like other schools and many people end up pledging. but that is about all i can tell you.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
safety here on campus is top notch. we have a 24 hour run security group that will answer any call. if you for some reason don't want to walk to your room or your car form the library, a campus security officer will come pick you up or walk you to wherever you need to go. they are constantly keeping tabs on the residence halls and are there when you need someone to let you in. there have never been any incidents on campus as far as i am aware of. i feel very safe here and don't know why anyone else wouldn't.
