[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Pepperdine. Both views of the school - Church of Christ and druggie haven - are correct. Pepperdine is Church of Christ, extremely conservative, and very free market solves everything. Lots of students align with this view. It also has a LOT of extremely wealthy students whose parents pay full tuition and give their kids plenty of pocket money for coke and cars. So, that's there too.

I would not send my kid there. Too unwilling to challenge conservative dogma. I have some conservative beliefs but I believe a good education should challenge students to think for themselves and not just memorize and regurgitate ideological propaganda. The pressure to conform there is really high.[/quote]

I feel sorry for you, sounds like you made a terrible school choice.  If it makes you feel better, colleges left and right stifle free speech and it is an ongoing battle:
