California Love


So you want to become a doctor, lawyer, vet, pharmacist or a dentist but you are not willing to leave California...If you’ve ever left CA you will soon realize that we have the best weather in the United States. If you don't believe me come to La Jolla some time and you'll change your mind. If weather alone is the reason why you’re not willing to leave then that's good enough for me. Californians like to shake things up a bit and yes, we have a few earthquakes here and there. However, we don't have the blizzards, flooding, tornadoes, or hurricanes that you'll find in other states.  I guarantee if you live in California you've never used salt on your sidewalk or had your engine freeze because you left your car out all night.  I have friends who actually carry shovels in their trunks in the winter.  So if this isn't your gig, no worries but if you're planning to become a doctor, lawyer, vet, pharmacist or dentist you need to know where in the Golden State you can get your degrees. You may have to leave So Cal for No Cal but you won’t to leave the State. After all, Dr. Dre said it best, "California knows how to party," so, if you're gonna stay here you need to know which schools you should be looking at.
Here are some commonly asked questions from California students looking at attending professional schools. 
Question #1 Where is University of the Pacific located?
Excellent Question. It’s almost like "Where’s Waldo?" Although the name probably conjures up images of Palm Trees and white sane the main campus and the School of Pharmacy of the University of the Pacific, or UOP,  are located in Stockton, CA. The Law School is in Sacramento and the Dental School is in San Francisco.
Questions #2 Don’t all of the University of California campuses have Medical, Law, Dental, Pharmacy, Vet Schools?
Another excellent question. Wouldn't that be fantastic? Imagine if each of the campuses had these. It would be like one-stop shopping but unfortunately that's not the case. So luckily, you've stumbled upon this blog which takes the guess work out of this question.
