D+ for Don't + Get Caught

Pepperdine University is has a no tolerance no drinking policy. That includes alcohol, controlled, and illicit substances. Pepperdine students are not to be present where drinking is present, cannot partake in drinking, and cannot drink on campus. Punishments are given by a board and can range from suspension to probation, no questions asked. Most students live off campus to avoid this problem because it is still a factor even if you are 21. Just don't get caught.

Um...What Night Life?

The campus becomes pretty quiet at night. There is a no alcohol/drinking policy on campus and this inhibits the ability to have parties on the main campus. But alcohol/parties can be found in the upperclassman residences (Apts and Drescher.) Parties can also be found off campus, mostly frat/sorority related, but there are a number of house parties thrown all year round.

No Football Team

No school spirit whatsoever. We have some great water polo, tennis and volleyball teams, but no one cares. It's sad, I wish people cared and there was this exciting energy about it.
