Malibu is BEAUTIFUL. I absolutely loved it when I visited. The location of the school is PERFECT. You can drive up the canyon to Calabasas and take the 101 to Hollywood in 20 mins without traffic, and an hour with (haha. LA traffic is great) or it is just an hour (or two in traffic) from Los Angeles. You get the LA life while being in a pretty location. You can see the ocean from almost any spot on campus. It is built into the mountain right alone the coast. I visited in December, and everyone that I saw was very nice. I was with my mom, and a group of students that were raising money for a mission trip came up to us and just started chatting and telling us what they thought about the school.
There was construction going on in the middle of one of the quads, but I’m sure it will be done soon.
The only thing that you have to like is the size. It is VERY small. The campus, while beautiful, is small and there are not many undergrads. But to each their own!
