University of the Pacific Top Questions

UOP is really something else when compared to other universities. Whether that's becasue it's a private school, or a small campus, I'm not sure; it really is a gem of Stockton. Here, professors can actually remember your name. They take the time to learn who you are, and because of that, they are able to help you more efficiently if you need it. Also, communicating with other students is not as difficult as it can be at other schools. Whether it be for work or for some down time, you will have fellow students on your side.

Pacific is unique because it provides a close knit environment for students. The class sizes make class more interesting and interactive because of the small sizes. The professors know your name, and go out of their way to help students, they are there to teach and not to make students fail. They are also very flexible and GUARENTEE graduation in 4 years. Pacific also provides a variety of resources for students including tutors, study rooms, access to online databases, writing centers, and student and faculty advisors to keep you on track.

This is the perfect place to obtain a wonderful education and make some really good friends

Very small school where I believe was an advantage.

The University of the Pacific may be smaller than most schools, but it is fierce. It guarentees an undergraduate degree in four years (as long as you stay on track, of course.) Its campus is the fifth most beautiful college campus. Pacific's programs involve getting out into the real world. Teachers get to student teach, engineers work on projects; it is a very active school. There are always things going on campus, and a person could never feel left out. Pacific is very unique.

What grabbed my interest in this particular school is the Co-op or paid internship program which was integrated within the engineering program. This allowed engineering students to gain hands-on experience working in the industry. The industrial experience allows a great leverage in finding a job after college.

There are smaller classes here and a smaller campus so you are not just a number but a person who the professors and the deans get to know on a personal level.

Our class sice is extremely small about 20 students per class. Our professors are always helpful and friendly. The faculty and staff are always ready to help in anyway.

I believe that the University of the Pacific is more of an academic school than any other college. When students go off to college, some of them expect to go to frat parties, or just parties in general. At University of the Pacific there aren't too many parties that go on here which makes students want to focus more on their studies.

The school allows for fast programs like for pharmacy and dentistry and University of the Pacific also is smaller and allows for colser bonds with classmates on campus.
