What is your favorite place to study on campus? What is your favorite place to do something fun on campus? Do you have a favorite place to eat out in Stockton? What is the best thing about Pacific\u2019s Conservatory of Music<\/a>?
<\/strong>Pacific is very inclusive, and everyone is very supportive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The choir rehearsal hall or the patio outside of Starbucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Probably the Lair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I LOVE the Siamese Street Thai Restaurant [on the Miracle Mile]! I always get chicken Pad Thai with no spice. BJ\u2019s is my close second. I usually get the ribs or a guacamole bacon burger with a gluten free bun. And, of course, I can\u2019t forget In-N-Out! I order their double meat protein style burger with a light lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Definitely the faculty. I love my professors, and they have been huge pillars in my growth as a person and as a musician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
