Shannon

A mix between church camp with homework and a high-school cafeteria, where sitting at any given table defines you.

Kristin

Pepperdine is really close to the ocean, which makes for a pretty view as you walk to class every day. The campus is built on different levels so there are lots of hills and stairs. Main campus where the classrooms, library, caf, etc. are is on one of the lowest levels. The freshmen dorms are the dorms closest to main campus. The sophomore dorms are further away, and the junior and senior apartments are even farther (but since it's a relatively small campus, the walk is not too long). There are plenty of places throughout campus that have nice overlooks of the ocean and the rest of Malibu as well.
