How big is the population of Arabs? As a senior who is from the middle east, I realized Pepperdine does not have a MSA (Muslim Student Association). Would I be able to find Muslims or Arabs on campus or Malibu?
On campus, I highly doubt it. Besides being associated with the COC, the highest number of international students comes from China. And according to their Top 15 religious affiliations chart, there are little to none students affiliated with the Muslim community. As for Malibu itself, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I do believe it will be difficult to find Muslims or Arabs in the area. Here’s the link with more information.
