Student Life

Activities & Entertainment

As a group, students go out informally to see the sights, sounds, and smells of the Los Angeles area.

Students participate in a variety of events and student organizations including the Women and Public Policy (WPP) graduate student organization, which was established to promote the development of women in the academic and professional arenas. Through a blend of guest speakers, social activities and seminars, WPP supports and encourages women as they tackle unique challenges in public policy. WPP meets at the School of Public Policy bi-monthly during the academic year.

Activities & Entertainment on the Pepperdine Campus

Athletic Facilities

Students possessing a valid Pepperdine student ID card may use the fully equipped athletic facilities during specified times. Facilities include tennis courts; an Olympic-sized swimming pool; a track and field; and a gym, which contains treadmills, stationary bikes, stairmasters, and both machine-based and free-standing weight-lifting equipment.

Center for the Arts

Smothers Theatre, Raitt Recital Hall, and Lindhurst Theatre are host to internationally acclaimed performers as well as Pepperdine student productions. Pepperdine students are admitted to events at a greatly reduced student ticket price. The Frederick R. Weisman Museum of Art offers exhibitions throughout the year which feature an international sampling of art and design. Admission to the museum is free.

Activities & Entertainment in the Surrounding Areas

Malibu is a small town, and can have a college town feel. The only difference is that students might see a star or two at the local coffee shops, or even in line at the grocery store. Close to Malibu, linked by the canyons and the coast are the cities of Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, and Woodland Hills. Along Pacific Coast Highway to the north is Zuma Beach and to the south is Santa Monica and Venice Beach.
