Founded in 1849, Oregon's Pacific University traces its roots to a log cabin meeting house in Forest Grove where the Rev. Harvey Clark, a Congregationalist minister, and Tabitha Brown, a former teacher from Massachusetts, cared for and educated orphans of the Oregon Trail.

Strongly recommend
It�s one of the best Medical Schools in Romania. The University always aims for improvement: - Our histology labs have been recently equipped with iPads, which have allowed us to study better different slides of tissue. - We have free access to apps like Complete Anatomy and Osmosis (these subscriptions normally cost a fortune and it�s a great relief to be able to use them during the semester without having to pay a single dime). - The University has invested a lot in terms of technology during the last few years. We take our exams on tablets, we schedule them however we prefer using our student credentials on a specially dedicated platform.
An Inspiring Global Experience
This university offers a vibrant, multicultural environment where I’ve made lifelong international friends. The English language programs are excellent, enhancing my skills while fostering a supportive and engaging community. Highly recommended!
