The old joke is why doesn't everybody try to get in there?

Well cost...if you factor in everything, tuition, campus housing, Etc. Its $80,000 A year.

USC had an opportunity to move their campus from inner city L.A. to where Pepperdine is now but declined. But that was a long time ago, around the 1930s.

I'm seeing that USC is more expensive than Pepperdine in 2021 with 7 or 8x the enrollment & 5x the endowment. Is USC as culturally relevant had they moved to the " boondocks " 30 miles outside L.A. in 1930 instead of remaining in downtown L.A.?



Didn't realize Pepperdine was caught up in the racial & Social unrest in 1950's / 1960s L.A. They bailed after the Watts riots
