Would I Go Here?
After visiting the campus, speaking with the students and faculty, and researching my major, I would attend the University of the Pacific. The thing that everyone had to say about Pacific is how involved and genuinely invested the faculty is in the success of their students, a place where "Professors know your name". It is a small school and knowing that I am more than just another face in a sea of students is something I want in a school. In addition, I am really interested in their Legal Scholars Program which grants me admission to Pacific's McGeorge School of Law upon completion of the program. Another reason to go to Pacific is their four year guarantee, where they attempt to help students finish school in four years. The only reason I would have to hesitate would be the cost. Since it is a private school, the cost is significantly higher than the UC and CSU systems. However, with the financial aid offered, i feel like I would be able offset the cost.
