Rankings and reputation

In 2005, the Princeton Review ranked Pepperdine as #1 on the list of colleges with "Dorms Like Palaces." Pepperdine also appeared on two other lists: "Beautiful Campus" and "Students Pray on a Regular Basis." Because of its Christian affiliation, many contend that the student body is a highly religious and politically conservative atmosphere. Others note that despite its religious affiliation, Pepperdine does not require its students to sign an 'Honor Pledge' to attend, and therefore students from all religious and political backgrounds can be found on campus. The 2005 edition of the Fiske Guide to Colleges has also noted Pepperdine as being one of the nation's largest conservative colleges. US News has also ranked Pepperdine as the 52nd best national university for undergraduate education.
