Student Voices
"The
biggest factor in choosing Pacific was how personable the
staff is and how approachable
professors
are. Coming from a community college, I had grown accustomed
to being able to ask my teachers about any problem I might
have had. Those expectations were not let down in my first
semester,
and have only been exceeded. The transition of becoming a part of the community within the school and the town, has been a
great experience for me."
