The typical student of Pepperdine University tends to be devoutly Christian, right-wing, republican, and not afraid to defend their beliefs. We didn't forget to mention wealthy. When you walk around campus you will find yourself in a sea of designer clothing and sunglasses, it's Malibu after all. A student remarked that the professors aren't just here for their own independent research, they actually care and are enthusiastic about their work. If only all professors were like this. The athletic programs are nothing to sneeze at as well, Doug Christie wore the orange and blue.

The Prudent Student (October 11, 2009)
Pepperdine is blessed with one of the most beautiful campus settings in the nation. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, our University offers students and visitors breathtaking vistas that provoke awe, reflection, and inspiration. But equally distinctive are the wonderful professors, students, staff, and friends who make up our community, and the intellectual and spiritual life that we share here.

I definitely think it would be really hard to study here with the nice weather and so many distractions
