Pepperdine University Reviews
1 Review Submitted For Pepperdine University
- Reviewed on: April 09, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- There is no getting around it, the campus here is beautiful! It is hard to argue with the ocean view, though the high price can be daunting. You will find excellent faculty here and smart students. There is also a good balance of a religious atmosphere and a party crowd. Either way, you have to work hard to make it at Pepperdine.
