What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Make every effort to achieve the highest scores possible throughout high school. Look harder and focus more on obtaining scholarships. College will never be the same as 'high school' - these are not my childhood friends since kindergarten, and there are many more potential friendships and experiences coming my way. Choose my new friends and experiences wisely. Remember to appreciate each and everything and/or person that has helped me get to where i am now. Each day has something new to experience and to expand my knowledge -take time to recognize those as they will only help me to better prepare myself for college days.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I'd have liked to have known more about the area outside the school. But living on campus helped with that. Everything else is well advertised or easy to find out about.

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
What grabbed my interest in this particular school is the Co-op or paid internship program which was integrated within the engineering program.

The fact that all the students in the Conservatory of Music all know each other, are for the most part good friends, and create a very welcoming and fun environment especially for newcomers. Also UOP is a very beautiful campus with a sort of East-coast Ivy League feel...but in California!

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
Housing has been an absolute nightmare. It is difficult to get direct answers and every year is a gamble getting the place that you want. Also, it would be nice if it wasn't such a small school. Rumors tend to spread fast and there tends to be little privacy for yourself since every one knows everything that goes on around campus.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of athletic spirit and sport culture. While Pacific still offers a wide variety of intercollegiate and intramural sports and facilities, the culture surrounding athletics is not as prominent as those found in other universities. Our fan base and student spirit towards sports doesn?t quite live up to our Division I standings.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
University of the Pacific is a truly beautiful school, walking around campus, flowers are blooming and it's so breath-taking. It's a big enough school, yet small enough that you could walk to class within 10 minutes from one side of campus to the other. Indiana Jones was one of the movies filmed at University of the Pacific. One of the best things about this school is the small class size, the biggest class size that you'll find is about 40 students and each could get individual attention from the professors. In addition, University of the Pacific is committed to sustainability. Most of the time that I spend on campus is in classes or just hanging out with my friends. University of the Pacific also has free movies for students in their theater every weekend, so it nice to wind down and relax with a movie to end the week. Overall, it's a great school to go to.

What are the academics like at your school?
The professors, for the most part, are great. Any one of the profs in my department could write me a letter of rec and genuinely know things about me. There are some tenured profs that seem like they have lost steam and don't care to update themselves on current things going on on college campuses. Office hours are followed and profs are very accessible. Intellectual conversations are common all over campus, not just in the classroom. The best, most useful class I have taken in Public Speaking. The professor is amazing. The most unique class I will be taking is Sports Law.

Describe the best and worst parts of the social scene on campus.
It is really cool getting to know people so well because you always see the same people everyday. But that's also a downfall. Sometimes you feel like you want to just meet different people. After a few months on campus you begin to accept that you aren't going to meet anybody else until the next school year
