Around Town

Go to the dances, volleyball in the sand pit, lift weights, meet lots of people, do a sport, lots of clubs you can get involved in, etc.

The Outback always has something planned for fun, which includes hikes, rock climbing, white water rafting, skiing, et cetera. And the community always has something going on like a play or new movie release.

The town is pretty small, but there is a theater that students can go to for $2 and there are a ton of great restaurants. It is easy to get to downtown Portland, where there is a LOT to do, and there are always events on campus.

While students here are hardworking, they also enjoy a good party. Forest Grove doesn't offer much for night life, but if you enjoy being outdoors there's plenty to do. Plus, Portland is only a 30 minute drive.

There is not much for fun in Forest Grove. Join a few clubs, and make friends that way. The Hawaiian Club presents a luau annually and it's a lot of fun.

Get off campus! Pacific has a wonderful outdoor program - Pacific Outback - which is located on the edge of campus and has excellent deals on gear rentals and several different kinds of trips - from rock climbing at Smith Rock to rafting on the Deschutes River to snow shoeing at Mt. Hood. The opportunities are endless!

Go to sporting events, head up to Portland.

Hang out with friends, DnD, sports, reading. There isn't a lot to do in Forest Grove, beyond bowling and movies.

I play a lot of pick up games and just walk around campus with my friends.

They are always having community events on campus trying to get people together. There's also a pool hall nearby which has good food and fun.
