It’s clear that whoever put this list together has never been to Pepperdine [/quote]
As someone from a beach town in Southern California, I never found the Pepperdine campus to be all that impressive. I would choose the campuses of UC San Diego, University of San Diego, or UC Santa Barbara over Pepperdine any day of the week. Sure it's a good view, the actually campus itself has mainly ugly buildings and is far away from most of LA and non beach related activities.

But hey, to each their own. I'd probably remove about half the campuses from the list I've visited as well.[/quote]

Also grew up in LA. went to USC. Daughter is at UCLA. But cmon. UCSD is not pretty. USD is definitely a beautiful campus. UC Santa Barbara has some pretty buildings, but overall not as pretty as USD. TO deny the fact that Pepperdine has the best setting of all of these CA schools is ridiculous. Sure the buildings are not that pretty, but from the inside, the views are amazing. You will spend most of your time inside. And basically every other building there has glass walls facing the pacific. The setting is unrivaled in the West Coast. I would have traded that campus and views for mine at USC in an instant…..[/quote]
