When we ask our students why they love Pacific, there's an excellent chance that they'll mention the fact that their friends have become family. If a close-knit community of scholars and leaders is what you're looking for, Pacific has you covered. Opportunities to get involved, have fun and make a difference are as rich and diverse as the breakfast burrito combos at the Marketplace!
The best way to explore our campus is to see it for yourself. We’ve collaborated with some of our students to create a virtual tour video to help you get to know Pacific, or if 360-degree views and photos are more your thing, embark on our virtual tour. But the best way to experience Pacific is to take an in-person campus tour!
There are a lot of deadlines to remember and tasks to check off during the summer. Check out the Next Steps checklist for the dates, details and links you need.
While our counselors are always happy to help, sometimes there are questions you'd rather ask fellow students. We get it — and we encourage you to get the ZeeMee app to chat with current Tigers and newly admitted students like yourself. Don't forget to also follow us on social media to get a glimpse at life at Pacific!
We have a blog! Every post on People of Pacific is produced by members of the Pacific community who are passionate about sharing our love for our university and answering your questions throughout your college journey.

"Going to college in Stockton is perfect because my friends and I can take a quick drive to spend an afternoon at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, then spend the next weekend hiking in Yosemite!"

What attracted our students to Pacific? Maybe it's the sense of community they feel almost immediately — a common sentiment among our Tigers! Don't take our word for it — watch the Tiger Perspectives series to hear from them!
