    Any students that love the beach, like having a small high school-ish atmosphere, fashionable (no one wears just sweats and t's to class), students that want to study abroad, people who like hills and stairs (!), want to avoid a crazy party scene or just keep the parting on the down low, like going to a required number of Chapels and taking religion classes, and people who like the california life style. read full review

    I would encourage students to have an open mind when coming to Pepperdine and to be grateful! It is a beautiful school with incredible students and faculty. I have found that the more involved and open I have become to new experiences have made my time much more enjoyable. You will definitely meet students who insist on maintaining the too cool for school attitude. But I have found that there are way more students who appreciate everything Pepperdine has to offer, and seek out the good in their studies, lectures, and relationships. Truly take advantage of the wonderful professors and their willingness to help you. Pepperdine is an amazing environment that encourages its students to explore and learn about themselves while still challenging and motivating them to be the best possible version of themselves. read full review
