University of the Pacific Reviews

"Pacific is a great school. They have a beautiful campus, excellent academics and great student body/campus life activities"

"LOVED Pacific and everything it had to offer. The small class sizes and one on one attention you receive from faculty is amazing and worth it!"

"Pros: Very student oriented. Gives independence to student researchers. Professors are very responsive and helps students achieve their goals. Respected professors in their fields. Cons: Outdated facilities. Small school. Small selection of classes."

"If you want your professors to know who you are and really care whether or not you succeed, UOP is the school for you. Small class sizes, individual attention, small-school community among students."

"The University of the Pacific is an excellent university and I am glad that I chose the school. The program is very challenging but the faculty and the curriculum is preparing me well for a career in Audiology."

"Pro: This program offers actual hands on teaching experience! The staff are there for you when you need anything Con: The cost can feel prohibitive The location is not all it is cracked up to be"

"This is a fantastic program with a lot of faculty support and you graduate much earlier than other programs. It is very expensive though!"

"Great staff and teachers who truly want you to succeed in your career. Thumbs up!"

"UoP have an unique accelerated program that allow pre-pharmacy students to finish undergrad+pharm school in 5, 6, or 7 years. The courses are challenging, but the professors are approachable and willing to help struggling students. Some parts of Stockton is dangerous and should be avoided, but the school itself is pretty safe with on campus police and transportation services at night. The downside to all of this is the high tuition cost."

"McGeorge is very regionally focused on Sacramento, which is great for people who want to work in the capital or the Sacramento region. This focus is not so great for people who want to connections with the Bay Area or So Cal. The professors are excellent, kind, and accessible. They make a lot of time for their students and will go to great lengths to make their students successful. It's not a very high-ranking school, but I predict the school's rank will rise in the next few years."

"The program is fine academically. In terms of support, it is seriously lacking."

"Law school is extremely difficult and my graduate program does a great job of challenging students and keeping them motivated to continue their education. The faculty is amazing and helpful during office hours."

"Pros: Faculty genuinely care about your education, and they are always available to help! Cons: tuition is very expensive."

"Pros - Excellent preparation for working in the field Cons - Very expensive - Cost of Living is very high"

"The UOP Pharmacy program is attractive in many respects. While most other programs are 4 years in length, UOP's is only 3 years long, allowing students to more quickly enter into their true passion: healthcare. In addition, its long history gives students a great network of alumni all throughout the nation. The one issue with UOP is that while the campus itself is safe, the university is located within the relatively unsafe city of Stockton, which has a high crime rate."

"As a graduate student living off-campus, I felt really disconnected from the university. However, the people in my classes were really friendly, and I felt pretty welcomed during class time. I also believe I have received a high-quality education. Through my program, I have gained the knowledge and skills I need to be a successful, effective teacher."

"University of the Pacific offers incredible opportunity for education, socializing, networking and impacting the surrounding community. The class sizes and workload are prime for maximum support. Advancement is waiting around every corner, it takes an applied and motivated student to succeed, however the opportunities are endless. I would recommend University of the Pacific as Bachelor or Masters choice of degree."

"It is a great program but it is challenging so you must be very organized"

"UOP's dental school provides an excellent education, with exposure to more complex clinical cases and patients with special needs. The opportunities to get involved in activities that interest you or the support to create programs of your own is fantastic here. You are challenged to strive for excellence every day, and your fellow students and faculty help you along the way. The area and the school is expensive, but it is worth it. Pacific has one of the highest percentages of alumni who donate back to the school , and many of the donate big. Many people who graduate dental school leave their school and never look back. At Pacific, people keep ties to the school, their fellow students and alumni out in the field- it is an extensive network. Also, when talking to other dental students, they have been impressed by the things we get to do at school, both in the clinic and in the community. Pacific had been the perfect place for me to learn and grow in way I never knew I could, and while the program is very challenging, I will never regret attending my #1 choice - UOP.Read Less"

"The school is a great place to learn, the professors and faculty make you feel very welcome from your first day on campus. The professors are all very knowledgable and helpful. The surrounding area is not a great neighborhood but I always feel safe on campus."
