Pepperdine University Virtual Tour

Are you applying to pepperdine explore the campus using the virtual tour below..

Virtual tours are a great way to refresh your memory or to preview an on-site tour of Pepperdine University.

What's in it for me?

At the beginning of your college search, a virtual tour can be a beneficial tool to explore the campus before your visit. When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending Pepperdine. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of Pepperdine University's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.

Pepperdine University (PU) Transfers: 2024 Requirements, Dates, GPAs & More

How effective are pepperdine university (pu) virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. Pepperdine University (PU) is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of Pepperdine University (PU) virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the Pepperdine University (PU) vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the Pepperdine University (PU) campus by taking you around Malibu. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a Pepperdine University (PU) virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit Pepperdine University (PU) in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of Pepperdine University (PU) is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the Pepperdine University (PU) people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting Pepperdine University (PU) and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting Pepperdine University (PU) in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at Pepperdine University (PU)?

For your convenience, below is a list of Pepperdine University (PU) places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

• The Waves Café at Pepperdine University (PU)
• George Elkins Auditorium at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Sandbar Student Lounge at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Payson Library at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Keck Science Center at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Stauffer Chapel at Pepperdine University (PU)
• 25255 Pacific Coast Hwy at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Charles B. Thornton Administrative Center at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Joslyn Plaza at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Howard A. White Center (HAWC) at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Pepperdine University at Pepperdine University (PU)
• Viale Giovanni Milton, 51 at Pepperdine University (PU)

What are the downsides of a Pepperdine University (PU) virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring Pepperdine University (PU) on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting Pepperdine University (PU) in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the Pepperdine University (PU) virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a Pepperdine University (PU) virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a Pepperdine University (PU) virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting Pepperdine University (PU) in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour Pepperdine University (PU) . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience Pepperdine University (PU) and Malibu during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.
