I have read that one of the largest problems about Pepperdine is the lack of parties and things to do at night due to it being a dry campus. If I have a car as a freshman, would this be drastically different? Are there things to do close by that don’t involve driving 40 minutes to USC or UCLA for a party? I want to attend a great school like Pepperdine, but I also want a fun college experience that doesn’t solely involve playing Scrabble and watching movies before bed at 10 on a Friday.
Yes apparently it would be different. There are parties you can go to at nearby colleges and in Los Angeles! Having a car makes everything that would’ve been boring and inconvenient fun and less of a hassle. lol you don’t have to play monopoly every night. Check out college niche and see what current students say they do during the night.
Yes, but driving to parties would involve having to drive yourself home (40 minutes from the city!). You’d have to make sure you become friends with someone who wouldn’t mind tagging along and being a designated driver. If you want parties, I’d recommend a school where they’ll have that available nearby and you won’t have to make huge arrangements just to go out at night.
