The Stockton campus is one of the most beautiful campuses on the West Coast, boasting exquisite brick buildings covered with ivy. The campus has an East Coast feel, yet it stands in the central valley of California. Pacific is nationally known for it's pre-pharm and pre-dentistry programs. Nevertheless, all of the programs at Pacific are prestigious. One of the many, include the Conservatory of Music, which was the first conservatory of music on the West Coast.

Students come to Pacific for small class sizes and friendly faculty. At Pacific, the individual is treated like one, and never as a number. Furthermore, Pacific depends mainly on it's Alumni, and they are very supportive of the University. The Pacific family is one of the best because they always look out for each other. Indeed, a Dean from the dental school once said, "While you are here only for a few years, you are an alumnus for life."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
