Good reviews
Overall 4.7
I have a genuine love for UOP, it has a very supportive community, and the faculty here care about the school as well. This university is great for those interested in engineering, biology or pre-med, and they have a strong pharmacy program. I recommend taking a tour to the school first, and ask questions about your major.

I love this campus. From welcome week to school events. I have made life long friends at this campus. As my home for four years I have made incredible memories here. Awesome breakfast burritos, faculty, entertainment and student body. The extracurriculars like clubs, fraternities, or sororities are world class but you have to find them. Best
Overall 4.6
I have attended five different universities throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, and I really enjoyed my time at UOP. Professors are very caring and the campus is beautiful. Courses were challenging, and they definitely prepared me for graduate school. Be sure to attend the music performances on campus.

Excellent university.

Great culture all around! Professors, fellow students and staff, wonderful! Very low professor to student ratio, personalized attention to help you succeed.
Overall 4.4
Lots of opportunities for personal and professional growth. The facilities on campus have just about anything a student could ever need to get by, and if that ever isn't the case, the campus is within spitting distance of everything else in town. Great community, great connections, great place. It's next to impossible not to make friends here.
Overall 4.4
Go here, make friends no matter what year. Live on campus and find a way, you won't regret it. Go to all the career building events. Attend class every day. Use your meal plan wisely and make friends who will share with you. Go to AACF and worship God. Feel free and skateboard. Make older friends. Stay safe and healthy by playing sports.

UOP should be your dream school to attend to, it's faculty, professor and students are all AWESOOME. The campus is very beautiful, small size classes, great level of facilities and many other things that you would love while being here. One concerning issue is the location, but pacific provides great security safety so you should be fine.

UOP is a great school. There are so many good, wholesome, unique people that go to school here. The people are what make UOP so great because even though it is in Stockton, UOP more than makes up for it in character.
Overall 4.3
The campus is very different from the neighborhood and its surroundings. I feel very safe here and the people here are very friendly.
Bad reviews

Pacific has absolutely nothing going for it other than that the campus is pretty. I transferred because I was so miserable. Honestly, DO NOT go here. It has one of the highest transfer rates out of any university on the west coast. It's so bad and so dangerous and SO not worth your time or money.

This school is absolutely atrocious. In my four years of attending here, I have had the worst time with teachers and other students and the environment/surrounding area around the school. Also, the academic staff is extremely rude and although I came on a swimming scholarship at the school, I regret joining the swim team full of stuck up children.
Overall 1.4
This school will ruin your life. Classes are irrelevant and the administration will go to extreme lengths to keep you from graduating. Plus it's in Stockton, the most miserable city in America. You can find a better school.
Overall 1.6
This has got to be the worst univeristy in history. This campus give students no opportunities,especially those who are in the science field. Teachers tend to pull their students down and make them not achieve their goals. I wouldn't recommend people coming here .
Overall 1.9
1. Programs are outdated. People graduated with debt. Some facilities are there because of benefits. Tuition raising every year. Student programs are getting cut. I am really trying to help someone. Do NOT go here. It's a non profit school that runs as a business. Two honest views.

Lookin for the party scene? Keep looking! Lookin for a city to get lost in with wonder? Stockton will make you want to stay inside 24/7! UOP is an incredibly small school and while they flaunt their promise that all your professors will "know" your name- that's not really true. Choose a different college! Avoid this college at all COSTS!
