Pepperdine University Campus

This beautiful patio is right outside of the Appleby Center, which is where many religion and philosophy courses are taught. On another note, we have an AMAZING grounds team who is always working to make sure campus is safe and beautiful. In this video you might see (or hear) someone trimming tree branches to prevent them from falling in the wind.

The plaza is the center of main campus and is easily accessible from all academic buildings. The benches by the fountain have a statue of George Pepperdine, our founder, reading a bible. Those benches are a favorite place to watch the sunset over the ocean.

All students at Pepperdine get a meal plan which is a dollar for dollar system. If your sandwich costs $5, it costs 5 meal points. A fun little bonus is that both the Starbucks and the Jamba Juice on campus take meal points! Save those gift cards you got at graduation, use your meal points instead.

The library was renovated last year and is now huge and beautiful! Students can reserve study rooms inside with large tables and whiteboards for working on group projects.

This spot in the library is one of my favorites. There are also random picnic tables and benches all over campus, which are perfect for sitting, working, or chatting with an ocean view!

Walking to class is beautiful every single day. Malibu stays between 50 and 80 degrees year round, so walking to class is never an issue!

Elkins classes can get pretty large, but most students don't take many of them. 70% of classes have 20 students or less, and our faculty:student ratio is 1:14.

Sophie is a freshman here at Pepperdine, and she'd love for you to hear about her experience.

Pepperdine's academic buildings are an actual maze, but we will get through it together, I promise. In the lobby of one building is a huge fish tank that you can sit by while you do homework!

The sandbar is a hangout and study spot on campus. There is also a piano that anyone can practice on! A few times a year various groups will put on "coffee houses" in the sandbar that usually have free food and always have awesome performances by students. Behind the sandbar is a gorgeous little-known patio overlooking the ocean.

My favorite convocation event happens in the amphitheater every Friday morning: Celebration Chapel! It is a student-led ministry (run by students for students) that leads worship for about 45 minutes. We all gather and sing praise.

The HAWC is a great place to get a quick bite to eat. The Waves Cafe (or caf) closes at around 8 pm, but the HAWC stays open until 2 am. If you get the chance, order an ice cream sandwich, they're homemade!
