<p>I have always wanted to go to Pepperdine, I've been accepted twice now but I was also accepted to USC, ranked number 23 in the nation! Pepperdine is somewhere around 53 so i dont think it's not that far behind but I know USC has a better academic reputation, but I obviously love Malibu and dream of living there. Ive never visited the USC campus but I know its not in a good area and that worries me. I'm not looking for a big party school and I absolutely love the christian aspect and small size of Pepperdine but I don't know if I'll regret giving up a "better" school for that! I am going into either environmental studies or biology at USC and biology at Pepperdine for the ecological perspective not medical. Someone help me! Which school should I choose?</p>
<p>I dont think Pepperdine is too far behind USC**</p>
<p>Like I said in a different thread, “USC and don’t look back.”</p>
<p>USC till u die</p>
