Pepperdine University
4.5 (376)other
4.5 (376)Set in the Malibu hills, this private university campus is celebrated for its dramatic, sweeping views of the Pacific.
Description
Originally established in Los Angeles in 1937 by George Pepperdine, the private Christian university relocated to this 830-acre site in 1972. Visitors using the campus sports facilities should prepare for a few quirks: the gym features low structural beams and high-glare LED lighting that can actively interfere with volleyball matches.
