r/Pepperdine

Hello! Anyone else here starting the PsyD program this fall?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between Chapman or Pepperdine and wanted some honest opinions on student life.

Main things I care about:

•	social life / making friends
•	party scene (frats + weekend life)
•	overall campus vibe
•	how easy it is to get involved socially if I’m transferring 

I’ve heard mixed things about both schools, so I’d appreciate real experiences or comparisons.

Which one has the better overall college social experience and why?

I’ve been appealing multiple times and gotten my aid to 50k however I need 20k more to be able to afford it do you think they’ll manage to give me an extra 20k on top Of my other 2 appeals?

Be so honest with me.

Any tips on parking or literally anything about commencement?? Really dreading the traffic
