My brother attends UOP. I have visited the campus and it is fairly nice. Some might say the area is bad (Stockton), but I disagree. There is a ghetto area near the school, but the other side of the town is pretty nice.

As far as prestige, I know it is known for its dental and pharmacy programs (like others of have mentioned). My brother is in the pharmacy program there and he tells me the classes is quite difficult. This is coming from someone who had a 4.0 UW GPA in high school.

I’ve also talked to the UOP admissions rep and asked him if the dental and pharmacy have hard time getting jobs. He replied saying that a very high percent of their graduates (from the programs) end up getting a job right after graduating.

In general as a school UOP might not have much prestige, but if you are looking to pursue dentistry or pharmacy, you should check it out.

Also i believe they offer a lot of financial aid, (My brother has nearly a full scholarship) so don’t be scared away by the hefty tuition cost.
