[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Add Pepperdine.[/quote]

If you are evangelical Christian.[/quote]

We are Jewish. DD is at Pepperdine. [/quote]

I've driven by Pepperdine many times - it's looks awesome. What am I missing about this school vs other Cal beach schools? What did you see in Pepperdine that was different from other schools? [/quote]

Jewish PP here. We were not comparing branding. DD got in USD, UCSB and Pepperdine in California. Had a very good merit offer at Pepperdine and her cousins (also Jewish) just graduated. We are from Denver. We felt that the combo of very small classes, small school that is isolated from the city, and how comfortable they made us few as non-Christians in that environment was great.  [b]She met several professors during her 2 visits and the attention she received alongside the attention we all recevied while we were there, set them apart vs the others. [/b]

Is it better than the others? We dont know and we dont care. It was better for my daughter. Yes, most of her friends are Christians, but so what? That is the world that she will live in. She has a phenomenal group of friends, she is in a sorority and love the environment. It helps her dorm has a view of the ocean  :)  [/quote]

Thank you for the feedback;  Now I get what I was missing.  I did read that smaller schools do have faculty that are more focused on mentorship. I figured out-of-state the cost for private school vs public school anywhere in California is the same. BTW - I'm non-Christian but didn't think Pepperdine was overly Christian. [/quote]
