Pepperdine Dorm Choice

<p>Hi current or former Pepperdine students! I'm an admitted transfer (technically I'm a first-year, but I have about 60 credits from dual enrollment HS classes so I had to apply as a transfer) and am wondering if I can choose which dorm I want to live in. I'd like to live in Lovernich. Is this a possibility? Or will I be forced to live in a "Suite Style Residence Hall?" I feel as though you'd have more freedom in the Lovernich dorm. </p>

<p>Anyone have any info on this? The Pepp website doesn't address this question on their housing website… Housing</a> Options | Housing and Residence Life | Pepperdine Community?</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!</p>

<p>My best suggestion is just to talk to the Housing and Residence Life staff at Pepperdine. They are very friendly and will probably be glad to help.</p>

<p>I’m a first-year student at Pepperdine, and I currently live in one of the suite-style freshman dorms. It’s a great environment for getting to know people and having a sense of community, but may be awkward if you’re older and living with a bunch of new freshmen.</p>

<p>I have a couple friends in Lovernich, and they seem to really like it. Lovernich is a bit further away from main campus, so it’s a longer walk, but you get a kitchen and living room area that you share with 2-3 other people. Mostly juniors and some seniors live there; most students choose to room with their close friends. You definitely get more freedom there since it’s more of an apartment-style setting.</p>

<p>Either way, Pepperdine housing is excellent and you really can’t go wrong either way. My best advice is to call HRL and talk to them about your options. Good luck!</p>

<p>I have a question about housing: When are admitted students supposed to fill out a housing application? I have not heard anything about it.</p>

<p>I also have a question. Do you know anyone who has not received on-campus housing as an upper classman?</p>

<p>does anyone know if there is any way to get out of living on campus as a transfer? I’m 26 years old and feel a bit strange living in the dorms.</p>

<p>I’d call and talk to HRL about that @caracr</p>
