Admitted Student Day, Friday, April 10, is your chance to get to know Pacific. You’ll sit in on sessions, meet professors and students, and see where you’ll live and learn.
You can take part in real conversations where you can ask questions and get honest answers. Figure out if this feels like your place.
How to get the most out of the day
Start early
Check-in opens at 8:15 a.m. at Burns Tower.
- Grab breakfast (free)
- Get your bearings before it gets busy
- Knock out a campus or housing tour early
Knoles Lawn is your home base all day. Welcome, lunch, info booths, closing—it all happens there.
Don’t skip the tours
Tours leave from Burns Tower starting at 9 a.m.
This is something you definitely want to do. Tours are where the campus goes from “nice” to “I could live here.”
Be strategic with sessions
Sessions start at 11 a.m. (with another round after lunch).
Pick a mix:
- Your major → what classes are actually like
- Support stuff → tutoring, career services, housing
- Financial aid → get clear on your numbers
If you only go to one thing, make it your academic session.
Talk to people (this is the whole point)
If you have a question or need directions, look for someone in an orange polo—current students, faculty or staff.
During tours or in the sessions, ask questions.
Try these:
Campus life
- What do students do on weekends?
- What’s overrated here? What’s underrated?
- Where do you hang out when you need a break?
Academics
- When did things get hard for you and how did you handle it?
- How easy is it to get internships or research?
- How accessible are professors?
You’ll learn more in 10 honest minutes than from any brochure.
Make it real
If you’re leaning yes, go all in.
Confirm your enrollment on-site and ring the Burns Tower bell. It’s loud. It’s a moment you’ll remember. If you’ve already confirmed, you’re welcome, too.
Then jump in the 360 photo booth—confetti and all.
Bonus: you’ll get a voucher for gear at the bookstore.
If you haven’t registered yet, check your email and grab your spot.
Go in with a plan. Stay flexible. Talk to people.
That’s how you leave knowing what you need to know.
