Choosing Pepperdine over Michigan is ridiculous.
+1 . That's a bad choice.

Enough with the nut jobs who think everyone hates snow and wants to go to college by the beach. It's just not true and the data show that.

The weather and lifestyle there are fabulous, even at tough schools.
Agreed - my DC's two choices were UCLA and Michigan. DC loved Michigan as a university but the environment just couldn't compete with LA. UCLA and Westwood are gorgeous but I've also been on the USC campus and it is beautiful as well, and the immediate surrounding area is great too. There's just no comparison to lifestyle in LA. DC is probably never coming back east! And I'll probably head there too when I retire in a few years.
The immediate surrounding area around USC is a sh*thole. Nobody in their right minds retires to California anymore, unless they are moving near family.
You must not have been in the immediate area around USC recently - it's cleaned up a lot. And yes, I have tons of friends and family in California and I happen to love it there.

Rich Californians buy their way into USC, hence the moniker, University of Spoiled Children.
No they buy their way into UCLA and Berkeley more.
