College at a former military base?

This might seem strange, but I heard a rumor about a Christian college that used to be a military base. Does anyone know anything about this? It seems like it might provide an interesting campus experience. Is it worth considering in my college list?

You might be referring to Pepperdine University located in Malibu, California. The land where it stands was indeed formerly a United States military base. After the base was decommissioned, the land was used to establish the private Christian university.

Pepperdine is known for its liberal arts programs with a strong commitment to undergraduate education, maintaining one of the lowest student-to-faculty ratios among its peer institutions. The campus also boasts a stunning view overlooking the Pacific Ocean due to its hilltop location, providing a unique campus experience.

Including it in your college list would be a good decision if you're considering a tight-knit academic community, strong liberal arts and professional programs, and a scenic location. As always, it's also essential to think about the overall fit - consider academic offerings, social activities, cultural environment, and your other personal preferences, like class size and location. Being formerly a military base is an interesting historical feature of the campus, but the academic and campus culture should ultimately be what guides your decision to apply or not. It always pays to visit the campus so you can get a real feel of the environment if you're able to do so, or participate in virtual tours and information sessions if not.
