<p>I'll most likely be doing a science major + pre-med. Not exactly sure yet though. I have hefty scholarships for both, so it really comes down to which school I like more. However I cannot decide. I love Pepperdine because of the short distance to LA and I also love Malibu. However it seemed like USD has more of social life with and the students have more fun than Pepperdine. I also liked USD more on how the campus felt bigger and more University like than Pepperdine. I really can't decide. I'm not that big of a fan of San Diego and prefer Los Angeles more, but should this sway my decision? Could anyone help with this decision. Also after 2 years I'm somewhat hoping to have a strong academic record and try getting into the schools I didn't get too the first time around. Which school would be a better launch pad to transfer up to a school with a bit more prestige? Thank you very much for all help! Also which school has a better international studies?</p>
<p>I am a science major at USD. The I’ve thing that I’ve gained from USD is great hands on experience with faculty that care (I am a chemist). This allowed me to be very competitive in graduate school admissions. 8 of our 9 majors this year were successful in gaining admittance to graduate programs, including med schools.</p>
