University of the Pacific
About Me
Intro
Can I be real with you for a second? Maybe you've heard of good ol' Stockton, CA. Maybe you've heard it's a boring, hum-drum sort of place. Well, I'm here to refresh that image.
First and foremost, I'm beautiful. I could roll out of bed and win a beauty pageant.
I'm talkin' a campus full of three-story brick buildings, walls covered in ivy, and a lush, green campus. Beautiful. Maybe, just one day, my good looks will bring about world peace. Just sayin'.
Do I have your attention now? Fantastic. I know how to have a good time, but I also know how to get down to business. I'm a student, an intramural athlete, a Greek life participant, and cuddly, loving friend (awww). I wear all of those different hats and more. Needless to say, Halloween is pretty crazy here.
I also have a four-year graduation guarantee for incoming freshmen. Basically, I'll make sure you graduate in four years or less. If not, your extra classes are on me. Just when you thought I couldn't get any better.
Name
Los Tigres
Hometown
By the ocean, right? Not quite. Despite my name conjuring up visions of white sand, warm water, and tropical fruit drinks with tiny umbrellas in them, you better do your research (that's why you're here, right?) before you pack only a swimsuit and flip-flops. Also, this is Northern California, so beaches get a little nippy. You might want to bring a jacket. Feel free to pack your swimwear, as well; I've got some nice pools.
My home, Stockton, CA, definitely has its perks. Minor league baseball, anyone? If you're up for a drive, you're an hour or so away from San Francisco, Napa (the wine capital of California), and Sacramento (the actual capital of California). For those feeling road trippy, Lake Tahoe is only a couple hours further. Skiers and snowboarders, fresh powder is yours for the taking.
Birthdate
1851
Body Type
Intimate, like the audience at an indie movie premiere. Some of my classes are as small as a dozen students, but you'll still be able to hide in the back of a large lecture hall if that's more your steeze.
There are just under 3,900 undergraduates roaming around campus. Factoring in my grad students and pharmacy students, we're looking at roughly 6,000 students at the main campus in Stockton.
If you like teachers who know your name, I'm the place. You'll see your peers all over campus, which makes life at Pacific feel comfortable and homey. Just don't wander too far off campus; you might get lost.
Current Living Situation
Like most universities, you'll be living on campus your first two years here. There are a plethora of options for on-campus housing, but for the first year (or two), you'll be in a fairly standard dorm.
And dorms are co-ed, so make sure your towel is tied securely on your way from the shower.
There are some pretty sweet on-campus housing options available for upperclassmen. They have their own bathroom and a full kitchen. Don't like to cook? Don't worry, you can still stay on your old meal plan.
If you go Greek, there are a handful or fraternities and sororities on campus. Most members live in their respective houses…or on the porches of those houses, am I right?
If you decide to live off campus, you'll probably want to stay close by. Commuting is no fun. Many students rent apartments and houses in the surrounding neighborhood, but be sure to lock up anything really important—for realsies.
Relationship Status
I'm friends with everyone. Well, except for some of the residents in town. They think I'm "elitist," but if they actually came and talked to me, they'd see that I'm a really cool dude.
I'm kind of like that guy at your high school who could hang out with any group. If you want to have a chat over a cup of coffee, maybe we can walk around the dope architecture on campus and get to know each other.
Psh, who are we fooling? We already know we're going to be BFF.
Religion
While I don't have a religious affiliation, I do have a chapel on campus. It's there if you want it, but it won't force itself on you or anything.
Politics
I'm a little bit of everything here. Let your voice be heard.
You should apply to me if...
you want an Ivy League campus with a laidback California vibe.
