What are the academics like at Pepperdine University?

I was told that Pepperdine would be academically grueling. I am happy/a bit disappointed to say that I did not find that statement to be entirely true. While I acknowledge that my major does lack the intensity of others, on the whole, I thought the academic level required of me was completely maintainable. My professors have run the gamut from brilliant to bumbling but are typically prepared for the class and always available for outside help or guidance.

Least favorite class REL 101. Best class INTS 592. The international studies department is wonderful, and the administration there extremely helpful. I find the usual Pepperdine student to be shallow and unintelligent in conversation outside of class. The difficulty of the university is negligible - I had a harder time keeping up in high school. Pepperdine is geared toward Christian education, which is largely not based in reality, and does a pitiful job of equipping students for future employment.
