One doesnt even have Football….They are all completely different environments. The only thing they have in common is that they are all expensive Privates in the T50 to T80 range and the avg kid there is wealthy….

Bingo. With all of that said, I would prefer to live in Malibu and be close to LA then in the craziness of Miami or New Orleans.

I live near Pepperdine and it is a very special place to spend time. The college itself is evangelical so not for everyone, but Malibu is magical. My own Senior wants to go to Tulane. In the end, kids just want something different. College is the perfect time to experience that.

Absolutely. nothing wrong with that . Tulane is an amazing school. We are the opposite. We live in the New Orleans area and despite getting in Tulane she wanted to go away. So Pepperdine it was. We are Jewish and we were so worried about the Christian indoctrination environment. But she is now in her 2nd year spending the year abroad and she is as happy as she can be. She had an amazing experience in her 1st year and despite all of the criticism we heard on this board, she fit in nicely, made amazing friends, joined a sorority and nobody has made her feel unwanted or excluded because she is Jewish.

Can I ask you about Tulane? Applying as a Jewish Studies major....ED.
Thoughts?

Are you insane?

Absolutely no.
What do you not understand what even happened today with RFK Jr and circumcision? If you don't get where this country is going in terms of being Jewish you are a dam fool.

No you do not go to any of those schools moving forward if you are a DD or a minority ie Jewish. How stupid are you?

This is not last year or the year before.

Never Forget!

We have 4 kids. Last one applying this year.

My first 3 went to Miami, Pepperdine and UCSB.

Despite their rankings , my USCB kid is the one “underemployed”. Both Miami and Pepperdine kids had great opportunities through tight alumni networks. UCSB kid is now looking to go back to grad school

Also not fair to compare small private schools to a mega public school system. I’m assuming that despite the better rankings of UCSB, you are just a fish in a huge ocean….vs a more engaged alumni base at the privates that channel undergrads into internships/full time positions.
