Hosting a prospective student offers several benefits. Firstly, it provides a break from the busy school week and allows for meeting new people.

"Guests will be held accountable for any damage or injury they cause to the University or its members" 

"Pacific recognizes 8 social, 6 multicultural, and 7 professional fraternities & sororities. About 16–18% of students are greek. Pacific greeks fundraise & volunteer time for 2 missions: philanthropy & networking. First-time freshmen cannot “rush” until 2nd semester. The deferred rush is important for students’ adjustment to college & campus life. Not every greek organization at Pacific has a greek house for its members to live in." 

"Pacific’s campus is as safe as you make it, which is a rule of thumb for any college you attend. Safety is an opinion—some may think Stockton is big and intimidating, while others see Stockton as a small town. No matter how big or small a city or college campus is, crime will still exist. Student needs to be aware of their surroundings and practice safety. For example, at night, walk with a buddy or group. If you are alone, be aware of the emergency phones on campus, and do not walk while talking on your cell at night. Public Safety is always available to escort students to their car or residence hall. All crime statistics for the Pacific campus and city of Stockton are available online, as well as every other college and city" 

"Put away your valuables, and remind your roommate to also do so. Admission is not responsible for stolen or damaged property. If you suspect that your guest has stolen or damaged any of your property, please notify Admission" 

"Your stories and opinions about Pacific are part of the reason why you are hosting, and the more genuine you are, the better connection you will make with your guest. While keeping honest, please remember the purpose of this event, and share stories and opinions that are positive" 

"As a volunteer, you are not a mandated reporter, but we expect you to report any misconduct your guest commits. These students are guests on campus, and we want to know about any potential liabilities. Out of respect for your willingness to share your enthusiasm for Pacific, Admission does not expect you to be a parent or babysitter to your guest, and you would never he held responsible for his/her actions" 

"When Pacific was established, it was a Methodist university. In 1972, Pacific separated from the church, and the chapel on campus is now used for weddings and occasional multi-denomination services. Students at Pacific represent dozens of religions, Eastern and Western. We encourage students who are interested to join a spiritual club or start one of their own, so they can find spiritual support on campus"

"Every college is affected by alcohol; the U.S. has a problem with college binge drinking. Fortunately, Pacific students are driven by the common goal of academic excellence & student life involvement, so alcohol-related incidences are seldom. Pacific is not a dry campus, because the university hosts non-student events. Also, our new University Center features a pub, where students (age 21+) can enjoy beer or wine after 5pm (3-drink limit)" 

"Purchasing a computer and/or printer for college is a personal choice. It’s a matter of convenience, not a necessity. Pacific has several computer labs, which are accessible day and night. Having your own computer means you can work late, work in your room, or work off-campus, which is not an option if you depend on the computer labs. Effective time management is crucial for students who don’t plan to bring their own computer. All students can access a free wi-fi connection anywhere on-campus" 

"Safety is most important, and you may NOT invite your guest to any party (on- or off-campus). You may NOT engage in sexual activity with a guest. You may NOT engage in illegal activity while hosting, or invite your guest to do anything illegal. You are to be drug and alcohol-free while hosting a guest. You are expected to adhere to the code of conduct outlined in the Pacific Tiger Lore Handbook" 

"It is your choice to share MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter with your guest. Setting your account to private is recommended, but not required. For your privacy and safety, Admission recommends that you do NOT share your social networking sites with your guest and that you politely decline your guest’s invitation to join his/her social networking sites. Once a guest becomes an enrolled student at Pacific or elsewhere, social networking is recommended" 

"DO NOT give personal financial information if you feel uncomfortable doing so; when generalizing, be conservative, as many parents cannot afford to send any money for allowance. Students do not need an allowance in order to eat or have fun. Students will never go hungry on Pacific’s meal plan, and the campus offers various forms of FREE or cheap entertainment. If parents ask for advice on how much money to send, Pacific advises that parents start low, and students can ask for more if they want it. If students want to eat off-campus (several restaurants accept the PacificCard) or if they want to participate in off-campus trips or activities, $20–50 a month can go along way. Also, Pacific recommends that parents consider giving students a low-limit credit card, so parents can see how students are spending their money, plus a low-limit credit card be handy in an emergency" (slide #8).
