After visiting Pacific University, many comment on how
friendly our staff, faculty and student are.
The uniqueness of our campus does not stop within our campus but extends
to our small town of Forest Grove, Oregon.
Home to roughly about 24,000 residents, the city and university have a
long-standing history of not just working together but also growing.
Students have the advantage to walk onto Main Street, about
a 3-minute walk from campus, to enjoy the local mom and pop restaurants. Residents and visitors also have the
opportunity to learn about the local Willamette Valley’s famous Pinot Noir, watch
a show at the local theater, enjoy Hagg Lake and other outdoor nature trails or
simply enjoy the live music during the community Farmer’s Market.
Although Forest Grove is small, the town is proud of its
rich culture and diversity. Forest Grove
boasts small town feel but also brings in rich culture and diversity. Adelante
Mujeres is “among the leading nonprofit organizations working to education
and empower low-income Latina women and families in the state of Oregon.” One of the results of their hard work is the Forest Grove Farmer’s
Market and the Dia de los Muertos.
Partnering with them is the non-profit Valley Art Gallery that hosts the annual
Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival.
Swing by to hear the International Quartet Champions and
have a chance to take a photo next to the world’s tallest barber pole located
in our football field. Or stay at the
local McMenamins Grand Lodge
that offers a restaurant with handcrafted drinks, theater and live music and
events. The location is an eclectic mix
or something for everyone in the family, just like Forest Grove.
