Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Pepperdiners clearly find off-campus housing to be something of a hassle. If your wallet or purse isn’t bursting with excess currency, living in Malibu is probably not an option. If you live “through the canyon,” as most opt to do, prices are still fairly high, and the commute gets to be a pain in the neck (especially when they’re doing road construction, which seems to be always, or when one slow driver clogs the entirety of Malibu Canyon and stretches your 11-mile trip into a half-hour journey). The consensus among many, though, is that it’s worthwhile to put up with these little hassles if it means getting away from the watchful eye of Public Safety and the general tedium of campus living.

Of course, others point out that staying on campus will keep you better connected to your school. The campus cleaning service and lack of commute may be difficult luxuries to give up after you’ve grown accustomed to them. Yet most students do move off campus, despite issues of cost, commute, and inconvenience, and those who have moved off are usually glad they did.

Confusing and Expensive

This is Malibu....everything is really expensive, and if I get something through the canyon, I run the risk of not making it to class.

I'm actually in the process of trying to get an apartment...hope it works, cause the housing deadline passed.

Price Point

If you live in malibu or santa monica the prices are very high. If you live in the valley you have to deal with the drive and the heat.
