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.

The best thing about Pacific would have to be the Student to Faculty ratio (13:1). I have had classes with as few as 3 other students. Pacific does not cancel classes due to low enrollment. In addition, you get to schedule for your next semester 2 months into the current semester. Also, Pacific has a 4 year guarantee. Which means that if you follow their graduation plan, and if later on the curriculum changes and adds classes, Pacific will pay for you to stay an extra semester. Furthermore, Pacific is very flexible when it comes to adding a minor, another major, or other certificate programs. I have friends who have three majors! If there was anything on this campus that I would change, it would have to be the 3 drink maximum policy in our University Center. We usually have a couple of drinks before heading over. Our basketball games and woman's soccer games are always exciting.

The best thing about Pacific is it's openness to many different viewpoints. Also the ability to pretty much get into any class you need for the following semester. The school is a good size with small class sizes though sometimes it feels tiny. You always see people you know where ever you go and that can be a good thing or a bad thing.
