UCR and Pepperdine are polar opposites of each other. You have to just know what you want: Small vs. Big school, diversity or homogenous student population, malibu vs. riverside.
Pepperdine has a great business program but the school is pretty strict. The school is mostly made up of white, conservative, Non-Catholic Christian students who have to adhere to guidlines such as a curfew and a mandatory Christian service. In general, a great place to learn and grow if you are comfortable with following certain regulations.
UCR on the other hand has a respectable business program, lots of diversity (more so than other UCs), large alumni base…the only drawback is the location and its lack of prestige compared with other UC schools.
I dont really think you can go wrong in your decision, both are solid schools but offer a totally different undergrad college experience.
