<p>I will be going to Pepperdine next year, and would like to know if it is necessary to have a car....would it make my experience there more enjoyable??</p>
<p>My brother and sister both go there and have cars. The first semester, my brother didn't bring a car and didn't seem to have any problems finding rides whenever he needed to go somewhere. There's always lots of people going to Santa Monica and UCLA on the weekends too. He just wanted a little more independance so he decided to bring his car second semester. He also got a tutoring job off campus so it was better to have his own car.</p>
