<p>I don't know about U of Denver but believe the skiing is great. Pepperdine is very Social (surfing and beach life), but most importantly, it would help a lot if you where a fan of Pepperdine, religious mission.</p>

<p>They are two completely different atmospheres... you should do a campus visit to both and see what you would like better.. Pepperdine is very religious and UDenver I dont think is? They are such completely different areas you have to do a visit and decide what you like better.. trust me you will either love one or the other. I had to decide between UMiami and CU-Boulder.. I thought I'd love both but it turns out UMiami was a huge fit and CU wasn't.. It's all about what YOU like!</p>

<p>Pepperdine is very Social </p>

<p>was supposed to say "SoCal"</p>

<p>Do you love skiiing or surfing? Pepperdine has a beautiful campus. But $14K is a lot of help.</p>

<p>Thank u all for ur information! Since i am an international student, it seems impossible for me to visit the campuses......i think i like the atomshere in Denver more...but i wish to transfer to UCBerkeley second year. Will it be easier if i enrol at Pepperdine?</p>

<p>Pepperdine has a relatively low acceptance rate ( 25%?), and the application is a little more work with some very pointed questions. It will be hard to look like a "fit" if you just want to go to transfer.</p>

<p>My middle son is finishing up his freshman year at University of Denver, where he is a very happy business major. He hit the slopes three times this winter, too busy on campus to go more. He likes the academics and the city--there are a lot of great internships available. The students are very electic--not everyone is a winter sports enthusiast although the location of the school does attract a lot of them.</p>
