I AM HOME

Welcome to your new home at University of the Pacific.

It is now time to think about living on-campus and to make decisions on where you want to live. In this brochure, you will find information about each of the residential facilities on-campus, all the dining options offered, and how to apply for on-campus housing.

By living on-campus, you will be in the heart of the University and have direct access to numerous academic, athletic and social activities.

Recent national studies have shown that students who live on-campus are more likely to graduate and are more satisfied with their collegiate experience. In fact, Pacific has found that students that live on campus have a higher GPA and are more likely to stay in school than those off-campus.

Our office can be found on the second floor of the McCaffrey Center. Parents or students can also contact the Residential Life & Housing staff by phone at 209.946.2331 or through email at iamhome@pacific.edu.

At Pacific we house students according to their class cohort to better address their developmental and social needs. We view all communities on campus both residential halls and apartments as residential learning communities. These communities are created to be places and spaces where students begin to explore the relationship between academic achievement and residential living. Each community offers a unique atmosphere, a variety of amenities, and are designed to create opportunities for students to learn about themselves in a residential environment that enhances their academic, developmental and social skills. Throughout the year, students learn about each other as they share experiences that coincide and compliment what they are studying in the classroom. Please take a moment to review each community so that you can choose the right place for you.

The Dining Point amount placed on your account each semester is determined by the meal plan you choose. Each time you make a purchase, the amount is deducted from your balance.

Students Living in Residence HallsStudents living in the traditional residence halls (i.e. Grace Covell, Southwest, and the Quads),will need to select from a Platinum, Gold, or Silver Meal Plan.

Students Living in On-Campus Apartments Students living in an apartment are required to have a Meal Plan. The minimum plan is the Bronze Meal Plan.
