Pacific Union College Reviews
Rating 3.78 out of 5 678 reviews
This college is very expensive, but that’s alleviated by the insane amount of financial aid PUC gives to most students. It’s on a mountain far from any urban city, in the middle of wealthy Napa wine valley, so it’s not the best setting for low-budget college students who’d benefit from cheap groceries & fast food, especially with the current skyrocketing gas prices. Many students & administration are intolerant of the queer community, which is sadly expected of a Christian school. The entire campus is inaccessible to physically disabled people, as it’s built on a mountain with stairs all over and not a singular elevator anywhere, even in the dorms! It’s difficult to afford living outside the dorms, which have no AC and confusing curfews for students to abide by. But, as said before, it’s the college I can most afford, via financial aid. Additionally, the visual arts department is stellar, with creative & passionate professors and a sense of community amongst visual arts students.
Numerous chances and experiences available at Pacific Union College can significantly impact a person's life. The vibrant diverse community the college produced was something I especially loved about it. My horizons and understanding of the world have been expanded by interacting with students from other origins, cultures, and perspectives. The campus was a center for intellectual stimulation, with teachers who were not only experts in their subjects but also enthusiastic about sharing their expertise with students. Even while college has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages. A major problem is the rising expense of higher education, which frequently leaves students with exorbitant debt. It would be advantageous to introduce more reasonable tuition alternatives and broaden the availability of grants and scholarships in order to maintain the affordability of education for all worthy people.
This institution is located in Angwin, California which is just north of Napa. It is a Seventh Day Adventist college that observes the Sabbath on Saturday. This has been an adjustment for me since I was previously raised as a non denominational Christian. This campus does not serve meat. Dorm halls are separated by gender and the opposite gender is NOT allowed up to the rooms. The college is on top of a mountain, sitting at about 1600 ft elevation. The views are very pretty as well as the campus itself. This is also a “dry campus” meaning no alcohol or drugs are permitted. The biggest departments here are Nursing and Business. As far as athletics there is mens and women’s soccer, volleyball, basketball, and cross country. It is definitely an adjustment, but is a great catalyst for growth as an individual.
