I Feel Extremely Safe

Pepperdine's campus is very safe. I have never felt in danger or unprotected. In order to get into campus you have to go through the security gate. Public Safety on campus is everywhere. All you need to do is call them and they are there. Also I know of people who leave their stuff all around campus and have had nothing stolen. I am not that trusting of people to leave my laptop or wallet around, but it is fairly safe. I always walk by myself and feel safe. Pepperdine has such a safe enviroment no one is ever scared or worried, it is very laid back and peaceful.

It's Malibu, You Get What You Expect

Weather is beautiful in Southern California 90% of the time. The other 10% it rains or is windy and students don't know how to respond. Everyone freaks out and hibernates for those days. It's kind of entertaining.

You will find all sorts of people here at Pepperdine. I would certainly say that Pepperdinians are a bit more attractive than your average group of 18-24 year-olds. There are a few stereotypical "I-am-rich-and-only-shop-at-Burberry-or-Louis-Vutton" types, but there are so many different kinds of people here that it is impossible to contain a large portion of the student body in one label. No matter who you are, you will find your own niche, just give it time.
