it's hard to describe my classmates in one sentence because they're from all over. just as in any college, students come form all over the country and even from other countries so everyone is very unique. i think overall, though, students are very focused on schoolwork because the school is not much of a party school because it's so small. students there are focused and looking towards bright futures. of course, that's not to say they don't have fun. even in a small school, students find plenty of ways to have a good time.

Pacific is a non denominational Methodist University. But you do not have to practice this religion, you do not have to practice any religion for that matter. However, as part of being a non denominational university you will have to take a religion course. I decided to take Judaism to fulfill this requirement, and I learned about this religion. Pacific's demographics consist of mainly Caucasians and Pacific Islanders. However the Latino/Hispanic population is slowly climbing. We are currently at 14{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} compared to when I arrived in Fall of 2004 when it was only 6{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}. So even with this unevenness in demographics, this is a highly respectable institution and discrimination of race, sexual preference, age, disability is not practiced or tolerated. Most of the students here receive some form of financial aid, some more than others, which all depends on their financial background. But because this university has a higher tuition rate, you receive more aid.

Most Pacific students come from California, though they are from all over the state. There are a lot of international students from Asia, Europe and South America.
