Anyone have anything recent on Pepperdine....team, coaches, expectations for the year, how religious is it? It's a beautiful school, do the kids have fun or is it an extremely controlled environment?

I applied there and got in as a student only (unfortunately not talented enough to play ball there), but I did take a junior day visit there and had it as my number one choice if I didn't feel like playing anymore. The campus is absolutely beautiful, that's a given. It's a surprisingly conservative school for California and it is definitely VERY religious. Part of the supplement application is talking about your own personal faith and what you plan on doing with it on campus. There are restrictions on when students can be in dorms with those of the other gender (11pm to - 7 am is off-limits, I believe), they are VERY strict about drinking on campus, and you are required to attend Convocation i believe 30 times a semester (could be totally wrong here). This isn't a school that takes it ties to Christianity lightly, plain and simple
I can't give you much for the program other than the coaches are pretty awesome all in all and the facilities are good but not great. Hope this helps and someone can give you the baseball aspect of the school.

Coaches are awesome, field and campus is beautiful and academics are rigorous.
Baseballfam4, can you expand on coaches?
