Pepperdine University Top Questions

I most often brag about the location of my school. Our campus is gorgeous and the city of Malibu is a fantastic place to live. I can walk to the beach from campus. LA and Santa Monica are only a 30 to 45 minute drive away giving us a variety of options for activities on the weekends.

When bragging about my school, I relish being able to tell them about the truly wonderful, stand-out people who attend, have attended or teach there. Pepperdine has a knack for drawing gregarious, charismatic, beautiful and well-rounded people who share many hopes of bettering themselves, the community and our world; something which I have yet to hear about any other institution of higher education.

The professors and classes at Pepperdine are the best. Compared to other schools, Pepperdine Professors offer more office hours and help. No teacher assistant has ever taught the class in place of the professor. Most of my professors answer an e-mail in less than 24 hours. The class size is smaller than most universities and comfortable for me.

The community at Pepperdine is something that I haven't experienced before. I have friends here that I know I can rely in at any moment in time and my teachers care about my success as a student as well. They want the best for me and will be at school extra hours to make sure I am understanding the class material. Going to a smaller school has the great experience of small classroom sizes and truly knowing my professors and the people in my class rather than a large lecture hall. It has been the perfect fit.

Besides the visual beauty, I enjoy all the opportunities and gifts given by the school. As a smaller school, there is a lot more opportunity for personal attention in classes and with faculty and advisors. We have a writing center to help with essays, a speech lab to aid with public speaking presentations, a career center that helps students tailor their resumes and practice mock interviews, as well as much more. Pepperdine is a school with many resources to be taken advantage of.

My bragging rights stem from Pepperdine's location. I love to tell everyone how every morining I get to wake up with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Pepperdine is located in the heart of Malibu, which means that Pepperdine students have access to it all. I am within walking distance to the beach and only a short drive from Santa Monica and downtown L.A.. I love to brag about where I get to live because living at Pepperdine is truly a once in a lifetime kind of experience.

Pepperdine has one of the eprettiest campuses in the world. It is fantastic to be living on such prime real estate. Not many people say tehy can see teh ocean from their dorm room.

As unique as it sounds, I love bragging about our bathrooms. Pepperdine is a liberal arts university, so we're smaller. Naturally, that means that one dorm has six suites, and in one suite, eight girls. The bathroom is cleaned every day by a warm house-keeping staff who vacuums the suite's common area, wipes the bathroom floors, and cleans our shower stalls. I love that when I'm lazy, I can walk in without shoes and feel comfortable. With two toilets, two shower stalls, and two sinks for just eight of us, we never fight over the bathroom.

I brag about the location of my university and that it is located in beautiful Malibu.

The location and the view. It doesn't get any better than looking out your dorm room window and seeing the ocean!
