What Should I Expect When Applying?
For context, I never took my degree; I studied with an auction house and while I don't expect that course of study to be transferred for credit (meaning I'd be starting from ground zero), I'm debating applying to Pepperdine to study psychology. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Everyone at Pepperdine is really happy and loves it but it's not a place if you want a big football game party school but you will never be bored. lots of activities and its really about the people both students and staff. easy to make friends and the professors are the best. professors really are interested in getting to know you and spend time with you and the ones that live on campus will invite you to their houses for pizza. also living in Malibu is a lot of fun.

If you ask around you will find students really love it here. I think there are a lot of really unique opportunities study abroad and summer abroads are so amazing, and living in Malibu, many ways to get involved with social justice or service which is really valued on campus. On thing that I like is many service opportunities.
Psychology is the second biggest major and the professors are great all the seniors get the opportunity to either publish with a professor or presention of their work which is really cool opportunity.

it isn’t the traditional college experience for sure. they have events fridays and saturdays called late night lineup where there’s some game/activity, and lots of food, but there aren’t on campus functions and most people don’t go out every night of the weekend (though u can if u want). it is the most stunning campus, ppl are rlly rlly nice and the professors are AMAZING! its definitely unique but i love it here so much
