Honestly, Pacific feels like home. Ever since they updated their food service from Aramark (totally awful) to Bon Appétit, the quality has gone waaaaay up. All of a sudden I have access to vegetables on a daily basis and the pizza doesn't look like it's covered in wax! All in all, it's a great school and everyone seems to care about us a lot.

Small town, but not far from Portland. Food is better some days from others. Lots of clubs and opportunities to be social if that's what you want. All the staff I've had have been incredible.

Due to the fact I'm a bit out of the ordinary as a transfer student, some students see me a bit older and don't see me as a peer. I enjoy the campus and the few friends I have made, this might change in the upcoming year.

This school definitely feels small and intimate. Everyone pretty much knows or has heard of everyone else. I like that sort of environment, but some people don't. Also, overall the professors and administration treats the students very well. I would definitely recommend going here.

The pharmacy school program is the worst one. Only pressure and pressure. I am a p2 and still did not see a counting tray in school, and they have nothinginsufficient lectures and equipment. This school's ranking is 88. you need thing why! Runaway from this school. Do not let the 3-year program fool you.

Everything is unorganized, like professors' lectures, slides, scheduling, etc. I want to emphasize the most professors and preceptors of this pharmacy school. You do not see really lecturing here. They even do not understand what they explain. Everything is on your shoulder alone. The worst pharmacy school in the world, I believe. Money is first!

The negative things about the pharmacy school are a lot. While you are in this school, do not think about Valentine's day or rest at the weekend. They do not care about the quality. The only quantity is important practically. They talk about the quality of learning a lot but do not have anything in the practice settings. Run away!

The only thing positive about this school is you can find lots of parking spots. I am a PharmD student here, and we have lots of issues with the quality of lectures, exams, material volume, etc. Runaway from this pharmacy school!

The School of Pharmacy at Pacific University is a joke! An expensive joke! The pharmacist instructors do not use effective teaching methods; they just give a lot of busy work to keep the students too busy to notice. The IPPE (pharmacy practice) portion is very disorganized; the IPPE day, which is on Tuesday, is a complete waste of time!

Its pharmacy school is the worst. Nothing is organized. The faculty staffs are very rude, but they show off during interviews and orientation. Go away from this school!

The health professional school is a bridge for the new instructors or non-experienced ones, and the students are like laboratory mice.
Overall 1
Everything is below standard. The preceptors do not provide individual feedback for serious assignments. You pay thousands of dollars for self-studying and not providing feedback! Time, Money, and talents waster. This school sees each student as a bag of dollars.

I was in the pacific undergrad school, and I am a PharmD student right now there. I really regret to apply for this grad school. It is a 3-year compact program, but everything is unorganized. There is no equilibrium between anythings. Regret!

There are many unexperienced preceptors in school.
