If you are looking for a non-competitive school to kick back at for four years, then this might be the place for you. That is, if you don't mind Stockton being a fairly conservative, closed-minded, and poor area. There is no public transit worth speaking of, so bring a car. Parking is difficult as the student population at Pacific has doubled in recent years, and Stockton has one of the highest rates of auto theft in the country. You have been warned. However, if you want to be a seriously competitive player in the job market after graduation, a degree from Pacific could hinder more than help you. Top companies and graduate programs admit that they won't even look at your resume/CV/application without an excellent personal recommendation from someone already on the inside, so your interview skills won't even get put to the test. Nearly all of Calfornia's state universities are ranked more highly than Pacific, and cost much less. Thus, before attending carefully consider what you want out of college, if you need your degree to be worth the paper upon which it is printed, and whether or not there is a job waiting for you in the family business.
