People who want to party all the time.

Allyn

If you are the type of person who does not enjoy small class sizes and likes to party and drink all the time, Pepperdine is not the place for you.

You really need to have a good relationship with yourself in order to excel here at Pepperdine University. Sure, of course you also need to have drive, goals, and perserverance, but I think those qualities take a passenger seat to self love. This University focuses a lot on you as an individual and getting to know yourself: your likes, your dislikes, your dreams, your potential. If you are unwilling to jump head first into the personal growth Pepperdine University offers you, it will be really hard for you to enjoy your time here as a student.

Michelle

You shouldn't attend this school if drinking alcohol on campus is important to you. Unfortunately, with the many hills and flights of stairs, wheelchair accessibility is limited. Pepperdine is a Christian school, so anyone strongly opposed to those values would not be a good fit. It's also small and pretty quiet, with fewer than 4,000 undergraduates, so if being anonymous and having thousands of new people around is important, that type of student would not like Pepperdine. The weather is usually mild or on the warm side, so snow lovers beware!

Kelsey

Anyone who is being forced to, anyone who wants to stay away from religion or anyone who doesn't want to succeed.

Jalessa

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is a person who does not want to develop a better relationship with The Lord. Pepperdine encourages you to become a better christian and to work on your relationship with God. If you are not willling to do that, you should not attend Pepperdine.

Nicole

People who view christianity in a negative light and do not care about their education. People who also prefer a large university should take in to consideration that Pepperdine is a small, private institution and if don't like a college where you are constantly meeting new people then Pepperdine may not be for you.
