Pepperdine Parties/Activities

Hi everyone,

I know Pepperdine is a somewhat conservative/Christian school, but are the students there really uptight, or are they like every other college student? Also, I know all parties are held off campus, but are they easy to go to, or is it hard to find people that will go with you? I’m not really even into parties, but I still want to have fun with my friends and enjoy college. Thanks so much.

PS: I love making music and playing it, will the RA’s get mad at loud music. I don’t mean earth shattering, but like every other college student.

Pepperdine is very remote and you’ll have to have a car there to get anywhere. I think it would be hard to get to parties; you’d either pretty much have to drive (and park, which will be a hassle) or find a ride. There is a shuttle but it has a very very limited route. I visited there last year, so I’ll share my opinions. There is a curfew, you have to do some Christian things, and there’s a zero tolerance policy for alcohol. For some, this is great. However, I felt like the campus was pretty quiet, but not in a peaceful way. It was mostly dead. The dorms are more like little houses with a bunch of suites inside of them, and I think loud music probably wouldn’t be a great idea.
