Thanks so much @Ncalrent. We did tour Pepperdine last summer. It is absolutely gorgeous. However, my daughter is really looking for a school with a “college town.” That is one thing that Pepperdine really doesn’t really have. LMU is very pretty, too, but same thing. She does still have many matches and safeties across the country that fit, and a few reaches. It is just a bummer to hear that a great school like UCSB is experiencing these issues. Anything can happen anywhere, but it seems like a pattern is forming and I would just rather that she avoid it. We were going to tour a few weeks ago, but put it off b/c I didn’t want her to fall in love and then to take it off the list. Luckily, it was never her number 1 (though that might have changed after seeing it!)
