My high school teachers told me college would be more difficult than high school. The same amount of effort you put into getting an A in high school equals a B in college. The academics at Pepperdine are rigorous, but it is important to be challenged. The teachers are distinguished and always willing to help you out if you're having trouble. It's not hard to develop a relationship with the teachers because of the usually small class sizes. I enjoy the learning atmosphere at Pepperdine.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I can say without a doubt that I love being at Pepperdine! The people I have encountered are genuine and friendly. Of course, no campus is without it's snobs and major partiers, but there are not a problem at Pepperdine. Pepperdine is a dry campus and the RAs (Residential Advisors) do a good job at keeping it that way. My RAs are wonderful and I feel just as comfortable with them as I do with everyone else. The ocean view from most of campus is definitely a plus!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is expensive. However, the education you will receive at Pepperdine is worth it. Pepperdine also does a good job with awarding scholarships and grants. If that is not enough for you, there is an ocean view from most of campus. (I have a view from my bedroom window). People pay millions for the views that you will have at Pepperdine. The suite-style dorms are also nice because you have less people to a bathroom than other colleges, if that's important to you. Everything on campus in within walking distance too.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come to Pepperdine!!! Pepperdine has it all: an excellent academic program, national recognition, great scholarships and grants, distinguished teachers, amazing peers, a comfortable campus, and ocean and mountain views. P.S. Girls, the guys are far from eye sores. Guys, come on, these are girls at a school by the beach! Need I say more?
