HousingOn-Campus HousingWe have 14 residence halls, six apartment complexes, and housing for four sororities and four fraternities. First-year students and sophomores are required to live on campus, in one of the residence halls, with the exception of students who live at home within 50 miles of campus. Juniors, seniors, and professional students are eligible to live in the apartment communities. Approximately 60% of students live on campus. DiningYou can choose from a variety of meal plans. Dining services are open all day and late into the evening. Study and Quiet HoursThere are no curfews or visitation hours in the halls. Study hours are 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. Quiet hours start at 11:00 p.m. during the week and 1:00 a.m. on weekends. All facilities have 24-hour courtesy hours. Weekend LifeMany students stay on campus during the weekends. While Pacific is definitely not a "commuter" campus, we are close to many great recreational areas which students can easily get to on a weekend. Cars on CampusAny student can have a car on campus. Cars must have current legal registration. Every vehicle must have a valid parking permit. Parking is available in large lots near residence communities and around campus. All of the parking facilities have safety lights and emergency telephones. All cars parked on campus must comply with parking terms and conditions. Greek LifeBetween 16% and 18% of undergraduates join one of the Greek fraternities or sororities. Therefore, it's large enough to be active, but not so big that it's overwhelming. If a student wants to be involved, it's available, if not, it's not the only social life on campus. Students cannot join a social sorority or fraternity before the spring semester of their freshmen year (it's called "deferred recruitment.") |
