Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students appear united in their opinions on the “guys and girls” issue. To sum up the quotes, as well as the general opinion on campus: (a) the girls are hot, (b) so are the guys, but (c) a lot of them are gay, and (d) no one dates. Students tend to conform, in terms of style and personality, and walking around Pepperdine is a little like watching a movie or attending a fashion show. Tight clothing and high heels predominate, and accessories bearing the names of venerable fashion avatars are a mainstay. Not to be outdone, even male students tote their books around in Coach and Louis Vuitton bags. Incidentally, such metrosexual behavior, along with the conservative environment that discourages explicit references to one’s preferences, makes it hard to tell who’s gay and who’s not. Regardless, most students maintain that the gay population at Pepperdine is extraordinarily high.

Good luck, dear reader, finding a more attractive campus than Pepperdine’s undergraduate school, Seaver College. The girls are otherworldly, and the guys, well, most of them look pretty good, too. What’s more, some of these young men and women have personalities and are even pleasant to talk to! For what more could one ask?

Surfs up

Both guys and girls here are very active. If you don't like to be out and about, then it might take some getting used to. Otherwise, enjoy the waves, dude.

Guys and girls at Pepperdine are really nice, cordial and warm. Guys a lot of times are well-off and pretty approachable. Girls smile a lot and are up for a good time!

Everyone at this university that I have come into contact with has been genuine and unique. Its a christian university in Malibu, so for outsiders, it'll be a throw back to see girls who are attractive and intellectual capable of holding a conversation.

Facts

Social Scene

Most students seem resigned to Pepperdine’s bleak social scene. While many profess interest in dating, a startlingly high percentage of students have long-distance or off-campus relationships. The socially liberal crowd connects through off-campus parties and the Greek system, while more reserved students instant-message their high school sweethearts.

Hookups or Relationships?

Both are present, though commitment is far more commonplace. The university itself presents an intimidating front against casual dating; programs such as “Relationship IQ” extol the virtues of marriage and commitment and discourage hookups. Pepperdine girls seem content to chase the coveted “ring by spring;” engagement by their senior year. Guys who date often do so in the context of a committed relationship. Hookups happen, but girls tend to tread more carefully around such encounters as they might at a larger university because of the notorious “Peppervine” that makes the average high school rumor mill seem merciful and discreet.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

In the cafeteria or the HAWC.

Dress Code

Girls: Whether you're headed to a sorority mixer, a prayer meeting, or an 8 a.m. class—come rain or shine—don't forget your short skirt, heels, fancy purse, makeup, and eye glitter. Guys: Go for surfer casual, spendy-trendy casual, or go metro chic.
