University of the Pacific opens new dorm exclusively for veterans, active-duty military

A COLLEGE DORMITORY MAKEOVER wouldn’t normally attract much attention, but Manor Hall at the University of the Pacific comes with a twist: it will house students who are active-duty military and veterans.

Students began moving in this week to the 101-year-old brick residential structure that was one of eight original buildings on the leafy Stockton campus. The building had been unoccupied since 2013.
