Being Jewish, am I gonna be happy at Pepperdine?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Pepperdine University

<p>I love Pepperdine. I love Malibu, and the whole Pepperdine atmosphere seems mad fun but still academic. I am also Jewish, and proud of it, but I am the least observant kind (reform) and do not consider religion an important part of my life at this point. However, I would be open to a Christian experience. When I get to Pepperdine, will I be bombarded with people saying I will go to hell if I don't convert, or will I be hazed? Cause that's not cool. Also, is Pepperdine REALLY right-wing republican anti-gay anti-poor, etc? I consider myself moderate, but I am definitely pro-choice, pro-gay rights and equality, and not racist one bit. I feel like if I encounter a large amount of opposition to my beliefs, I will be nauseated. If I could get the lowdown on these questions from a good amount of people and a brief description of life at Pepperdine, that'd be great.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I am Jew and Israeli but still I am applying to Pepperdine...same as u I think its a great school. I have talked to some students there and everyone seems nice...hmm it depends on ur social skill and things like that...I don't think that people there are judging others by their religion.</p>

<p>Haha my social skills are A1 no need to worry about that. It just seems a little weird to be applying to an evangelical school being a Jew. But my parents just said they wouldn't pay for it because it's evangelical so I guess its off my list</p>
