Beautiful campus. Generous hosts.
Volleyballers beware: lights on the gym suck LEDs that are 99% glare, and structural beams are low -- expect to lose some points to the ceiling.

Beautiful place. The library is like a Malibu mansion furniture and view is the Malibu Pacific Ocean view. Students very good and friendly and beautiful God bless this one by one bright future on your beautiful faces and eyes
So friendly and kind students beautiful smiles
I graduated from Pepperdine University in 2005 and had an excellent experience. Those were some of the best years of my life and helped set the stage for success moving forward.
Beautiful Campus. Kindness. A place of education, faith, and friendship for a life of Service, Leadership and Excellence. Great place to walk around and enjoy the views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica mountains.
I just got a call from an admissions counselor who was not listening to my words and therefore condescendingly believed he was correcting me. I asked him a direct question about the professors’ areas of expertise to which he replied “is there anything else I can help you with?” No sir, I don’t think you can.
My daughter is attending summer school and moved in the domitory today. Paied class ruition and domitory fee, but they were not prepared to receive students. The dormitory is not cleaned at all, and the place to unload the stuff from the car is blocked. So I tried to unload the stuff at the near parking lot, and a school police tagetted me, kept following me, and issued a violation ticket. His attitude is so rude, and I will complain things happened to me and my daughter today to the management of school. They are always deligent to collect money by sending emails from the parents, but provide no services. It's the worst school ever. I really regret having my daughter study this school.
They treat non-traditional students like garbage here. They refuse to send me my diploma and the official transcripts that were sent to me were password locked. I have asked several times for these people to do what is right yet I still have to wait. It is completely ridiculous and this degree has been a waste of money because I have no proof that I ever finished now and they do not care. I have had to wait over a year for transcripts or a diploma to show for employment and still nothing. Avoid this place at all costs! It is not worth it to deal with the people that operate the registrar's office. They do not care about their students or if their actions are preventing a graduate from gainful employment. Some of the people who answer the phones are very rude for no reason. Have some class and take responsibility for your actions. This is unacceptable and I still do not understand what the issue is. I finished school and just want proof that I did accomplish that. Someone please explain to me why this school is not held accountable for these issues. Am I the only one unable to get my diploma or unlocked transcripts?
My daughter loves her experience at Pepperdine! Is part of a business club, campus Ministry and appreciates her professors. I look forward to visiting her, going to basketball games and lunch anywhere down PCH.
Great campus, used to love coming here in 2022 and 2023 to show visitors the best of Malibu and watch sports, but tried to visit recently and was denied entry.
Rude security guard claimed it had always been this way and gaslit me before commanding me to turn around, staring me down like I would try to sneak in. Every security guard in the past has been wonderful and pointed out great views and gave us a visitor parking pass, no issue. We drove over an hour to get here so the experience really put me off.
Graziadio Business School hosted the sixth annual Most Fundable Companies event last week, once again displaying its firm commitment to entrepreneurship. This school and its leaders have built a reputation for themselves in the community regarding entrepreneurship and leadership that sets them apart from most other business schools. For those seeking to make their mark as an entrepreneur, Graziadio Business School is the ideal place to study. Describing the Most Fundable Companies event as “inspirational” or “amazing” would simply be inadequate.
I’ve been watching the Nickelodeon TV show Zoey 101 and I know that it was a film here. It’s a really good show. I have it on Paramount plus and Netflix and. I watch it a lot Britney Spears sister, Jamie was the star of the show and Britney Spears actually wrote the theme song to the show if you’re a really big fan of the show, you and Britney Spears, and her sister. You should watch it you’ll recognize the campus. It’s still a classic show today. Next time I check out this campus I’m gonna be thinking of Zoey 101.
This school is approximately $95,000 a year and it's online. I attended their Masters in Legal Studies online program and it's my worst college experience to date. The program isn't worth the expensive price tag. It's not what I expected. I was given grades lower than what I earned based on this curved grading system. When I complained I was given lower grades to try to grade me out the program.
After earning 16 hours of credits the Associate Academic Dean of the Law School used my University records to dig up personal information unassociated with attending school. After having a bad experience at the school I decided to request a refund. Instead of just refunding my tuition they demanded that I sign a settlement agreement instead of just providing a standard refund. This agreement demanded that I give up any rights to speak about my experience and to never file a lawsuit. They refused to increase the amount to something reasonable because they had also contacted all my prior schools and bad mouthed me. They also contacted the state and IRS to tell these agencies that I was receiving the funds and included language in the settlement agreement that would authorize them to do so. They were. Planning to send the refund to the state and IRS after signing instead of giving it to me. They refused to allow me to register, thus holding my degree hostage. and ultimately trying to leave me with nothing related to the tuition refund. After a thorough review of the agreement I decided not to sign it. They had used my personal information to bad mouth me to my employers, post documents with my personal information and any other public information they could find. Suddenly there was a bunch of negative information about me placed on the internet unassociated with me that I believe the Dean posted or had someone else post. Then when I removed my financial aid from the school it was discovered that the school had put all types of false statements on my financial aid file in an attempt to prevent me from attending another school with my financial aid. The next school I went was kind enough to inform me if this negative information. Then after taking the last 3 classes suddenly I was getting bad grades on my homework and other assignments.
I don't recommend this school because it was very expensive, the administrators appear racist and very insensitive to African American people. . I have proof of my experience and many students are disappointed but stay because the credits will not transfer to another school. It's a financial trap that will leave you with credits you can't use if you don't do well in the program, get flunked out the program and graded out. Instead of the instructor providing the grades in the class a committee gets together to decide who will get good grades or not in the program. The grades come out 4 weeks after the class is over. They use this grading system that's ultimately discriminatory because it's not based on merit it's based on this committee deciding if your good enough to receive a degree from their school or not. Most people just leave and move on. I wanted my degree and it's very hurtful how mean and cruel they have been to me. Now I have over $65,000 in student loan debt and no degree. Go to another school your better off especially if you are African American
Stayed in the student accommodation before, those students are very rude and with bad attitude, they steal foods and never apologise, and claim it’s America culture, so stealing is American style? Lol
On September 11 every year the main lawn adjacent to PCH is adorned with thousands of flags. Each flag representing a person that died on 911. It’s truly beautiful and moving. It’s a great photo opportunity through the flags looking towards the Pacific Ocean. Go near sunset.
Personal opinion, may be Pepperdine is the most beautiful university in CA, there is a good hiking area just near the campus, and you can enjoy the beach as well. The student here can enjoy the life in mountains and ocean.
However, you may not afford the tuition, I didn't apply this school only because the tuition is unbelievable high.
This place is more church than it is a university.
Undergrads are required to earn an additional 18 units, 9 credits of Humanities & 9 credits of Religion, on top of your traditional 120 units for a Bachelors. As well as 14 hours of “convo” each semester (look it up).
Every staff / faculty member who works here complains about there pay to anyone who will listen.
Student advisors and counselors will try to impress upon you their administrative powers.
Student Veterans:
Both, as a Yellow Ribbon student and (at about 3/4 of the way thru) as a VocRehab (Ch.33) student, Ella from student accounts would withhold all my grants and loans until the government paid the tuition it owed on my behalf.
This place is known for its vistas not their academics.
You won’t build much of a portfolio to show employers just by going here.
Students in the Arts programs here focused more on who to know rather then what to know.
Very “Right Wing” policies.
Good WiFi in the buildings, not so much outside.
SO BEAUTIFUL. The campus is right on the beach and it’s such a relaxing vibe. I hear that the academics are great here and it is a Christian school- I’m waiting for my acceptance letter!
This is a fun campus. It becomes spread out in the hills, but it is very pretty. The views are amazing, and they have some decent architecture throughout the campus.
I graduated from Pepperdine in 2006...
Thanks to Pepperdine I've met people and gained the educational foundation to realize the maximum potential in my life! I've traveled the world (through the study abroad opportunities and my due to my career after graduating), met some of the coolest people ever, and got to live near the beach in Malibu!
For an all-around A+ university, go to Pepperdine. You won't be sorry!
