I encourage all types of people to attend this school. However, I believe one must have a patience and an open mind. Pepperdine University is in need of more diversity, but there are currently some interesting individuals attending the institution and it is likely that personalities or beliefs will clash. Everyone can learn something from attending a school like Pepperdine and there is no doubt that it will change you and influence your growth as a person.

A person who is unmotivated should not attend this school. Also, if you are looking for a large atmosphere with a lot of freedom, Pepperdine might not be the right fit for you.

You should not attend Pepperdine University if you want an amazing social experience in college. Pepperdine is a very small school and opportunities to participate are limited to sororities and fraternaties, clubs, and volunteer programs. You have to put yourself out there to get involved and make the friends you want to. Pepperdine is also a dry campus, thus there is no alcohol allowed on campus, including coming back to campus under the influence. Opposite genders are also not allowed to be in a girl or boys dorm past 1 AM.

The kind of person that shouldn't attend Pepperdine University is a person that is against a Christian religion. THe school is built on Christian morals and you are required to go to church 14 times per semester and take three religion classes during your time at Pepperdine as G.E. If someone is not comfortable doing this do not attend Pepperdine.

Pepperdine is a school that is very welcoming to incoming students. I felt very welcome when I first arrived. There was one student in my dorm however, who dropped out the first week because she wanted to attend a party school. Pepperdine is a very calm environment. There are parties, but it is also a dry campus. No alcohol is allowed on campus. So Pepperdine students do not party as much as other schools. Prospective students who are party animals should possibly seek to attend other schools. The school is a quiet and a good place to focus and study.

Houston

Well, I believe that everyone should apply, because, I'm the type of Pepperdine student that technically doesn't fit the mold here, but I still have fun, and I love it alot. This school is Christian based and very conservative, so if those factors really turn you off, then Pepperdine would not be the best choice - holding constant, I am not Christian and I am liberal, and I love it here!
