1 The Best Pepperdine Resource Available
Having written this book, I was able to witness firsthand the unique professionalism and dedication that have gone into the publication of the new College Prowler series.
This young company is offering a completely new and indispensable way to get a detailed insider's perspective on all the major colleges; in fact, I learned a lot about Pepperdine that I had never known before (despite attending it for four years) as I worked with administrators and students to gather together a comprehensive resource of facts and opinions about it.
The book evaluates Pepperdine across 20 different criteria to let you know where it stands in relation to other universities--all based on the firsthand experience of real Pepperdine students.
I wish I'd had guidebooks like these to help me with my admissions decisions after high school. Come to think of it, I wish I'd had this book to help get me through my freshman year of college! It's filled with information--on academics, facilities, nightlife, dating, housing, strictness, the overall campus atmosphere--that it might otherwise take three or four years of attending Pepperdine to find out for yourself.
There is simply no better resource for getting an unbiased and uncompromising sense of the Pepperdine experience. Check it out.

Quote of the Day:


Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof.  There are many examples

of outsiders who eventually overthrew entrenched scientific orthodoxies,
but they prevailed with irrefutable data. More often, egregious findings
that contradict well-established research turn out to be artifacts. I have
argued that accepting psychic powers, reincarnation, "cosmic conciousness,"
and the like, would entail fundamental revisions of the foundations of
neuroscience. Before abandoning materialist theories of mind that have paid
handsome dividends, we should insist on better evidence for psi phenomena
than presently exists, especially when neurology and psychology themselves
offer more plausible alternatives.
-- Barry L. Beyerstein, "The Brain and Conciousness:
Implications for Psi Phenomena".

Two men were sitting over coffee, contemplating the nature of things,
with all due respect for their breakfast. "I wonder why it is that
toast always falls on the buttered side," said one.
"Tell me," replied his friend, "why you say such a thing. Look
at this." And he dropped his toast on the floor, where it landed on the
dry side.
"So, what have you to say for your theory now?"
"What am I to say? You obviously buttered the wrong side."
