Students and professors are nice. Class is a great way to connect with your professors. Student relationships are typically not formed in classes. A lot of the majors are small enough that you have many of the same students in every class with you.

My classmates are mostly Caucasian and Christian, but regardless of race and religion, everyone is pretty friendly and kind, especially since this is a small community and everyone knows each other or at least has seen each other around campus.

My classmates are attentive with a twinge of clas-clowning and a lot of opinion.
Nicole
They extremely focused and grades oriented so they desire to perform well while having fun.

Pepperdine's student body is predominately white from middle to upper class backgrounds and mostly from California, Texas or Colerado. There is a strong Christian presence on campus and a lot of conservatives, but most students are more moderate and there are a decent ammount of liberals as well. There is also a fairly large gay community on campus for a Christian college anyways. There has been some tension between the more conservative students and gay students, but for the most part Pepperdine has a very friendly environment. One of the things that stood out to me when I first came there is that everyone will say hi to you and everyone holds the door for the person behind them. Even if you don't know anyone, walking down the halls you feel welcome because people will smile at you and people will hold the door for you. For the most part, Pepperdine students don't care about how much they'll be able to earn one day but about where they'll be able to go and what they'll be able to do when they graduate. Students either want to do what they love or want to be able to make a difference in the world when they graduate and a paycheck is not a priority.

Nobody is going to feel out of place here. There are activities, classes, clubs, and friends for everybody. No matter what you like or what you're interested in, there's a place for you here.

Pepperdine is so laid back and casual. Most students attend class in shorts and t shirts. Alot of the student body is white but there are also clubs for african americans and asians as well as the latrino or hispanic student body. Also I think most of Pepperdine students come out of the great state of Texas!

Most students like to go greek because it gives you more opportunities to be involved on campus. I wouldn't say there are distinct groups, but since it is a small group most people know who is who and what they do. Most of the students are from california or near by. Many of the students are devoted christians, but i haven't had any problem fitting in considering i don't devote time to my faith.
