<p>Out of the colleges I've been accepted to, I think Pepperdine is my favorite. The academics, the study abroad program, and the location are all aspects that I like a lot. My faith is important to me as well, so I don't mind the Christian mission at all. However... I also happen to be gay, and because of that I'm having a few inhibitions about Pepperdine...</p>
<p>So basically I was wondering if any current students could tell me how gay students are treated there? I've read in a few places (though I don't know how reliable they are) that there's a noticeable amount of gay students... But how many openly gay students do you personally know of, not just ones who seem or may be perceived so? And more importantly, how do they tend to be treated?</p>
<p>I know that there are people who disapprove of homosexuality because of religious reasons, and though I respectfully disagree with them and understand that otherwise they're probably very nice people, I just feel like it wouldn't be wise to surround myself with them for four years, so I felt like I needed to get a students' perspective before I dove in. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it. :)</p>
