Pepperdine University Reviews

"Pepperdine School of Law has an amazing faculty that genuinely care about the students. However, the Career Services Department is small, and it is difficult to find externships and post-graduate employment."

"The number one program in Dispute Resolution. Hard but great."

"Located in beautiful Malibu, Pepperdine is the perfect setting for the stress of law school. The professors apply the right amount of pressure while still being approachable outside of class. The on-campus living is incredibly close to the law school, and feel like you are living in a fancy hotel suite. With a growing reputation and excellent work placement within the area (not so much outside), Pepperdine is a really up and coming Law program."

"This program is AMAZING!! The professors are top notch, all the staff is helpful and cooperative. They make the process easy. The courses are unique, applicable to life, insightful and taught by the best in each field. The Law Library has the most incredible view of the Pacific Ocean which makes you want to go there and study, they also provide hot coffee and DVD's you can check out. The weather is wonderful. Pepperdine has made the graduate school experience enjoyable!"

"I think Pepperdine is an awesome school that creates many opportunities. It is not the most affordable place to live and is not the closest to LA which can cause a detriment to taking school year internships."

"Pros: Open door policy- Faculty easily accessible Small community Prestigious and knowledgeable faculty Abundant career information panels, session, etc. International and cross country academic programs Cons: Malibu and surrounding area high cost of living"

"I haven't graduated yet so I am unable to make an informed vote on things such as program value and career support. You can't beat the location. The professors and other students are very helpful and welcoming. One professor spoke with me for an hour--on his vacation--to help me with something. Tuition is the biggest draw back, even with a scholarship, because the COL is so high in Malibu. It has a great local reputation and they are making a lot of steps towards increasing its national reputation.Read Less"

"Pepperdine Law is a supportive environment that prepares students for success in a career in law. However, the price of a Pepperdine education and the price of Malibu living are cons."
