The 168-acre central campus in Stockton touted as one of the most gorgeous in the country, offers a wide array of programs for undergraduates, graduates and professionals. Sports is put on the back burner in UOP compared to academics. Nevertheless, the men's Water Polo is ranked #2 in the country. Also, there is a pool, three gyms, and a rock climbing wall. Greek life is very big on the campus. Given its location in Stockton, the school has good safety measures in place to make the student body feel secure. There are emergency lights, an easily accessible taxi service (STRIPES) which runs until 3am and 24/7 police patrolling. UOP encourages students to experiment under the guidance of knowledgeable faculty scholars. The university has research labs equipped with state of the art facilities and instruments for students to carry out high-quality, innovative research work. Other facilities include a three-floor library with an extensive collection, computer labs throughout the premises with 24/7 reliable wireless internet. The Campus in Stockton houses the three main residential halls:  Quad Buildings  Southwest Hall  Grace Covell Hall The Quads made out of a few separate littler habitation corridors, are in close vicinity to one another. Elegance Covell being the biggest residential corridor,holds over 350 understudies while the Quads and Southwest hold a lesser number of understudies.

The Stockton campus is quite picturesque and features rose gardens, brick buildings, architectural columns, as well as a lot of greenery. It has been used as a backdrop for many a Hollywood film. It is also home to the Morris Chapel and there is ever a tower on site.  UOP also has its Sacramento Campus which houses graduate and professional programs. This is in Oak Park, south of downtown.

location

From a student perspective, weather is not a topic of any needless (or even needful) worry. Californian summers are famous internationally. The summers are hot and the winters are pleasant. Thus, students have the option of living in a perfect setting all year round. Students coming from colder countries may experience a rise in winter temperature. But this is nothing that they will have difficulty adapting to.
