Opinion: Seaside Dorms Are The Best To Live In

Transparency Item: The Perspectives section of the Graphic is comprised of articles based on opinion. This is the opinion and perspective of the writer.

Every year, many students have to apply for housing to live on Pepperdine’s Malibu campus. For all other students except the first-years, there are many options.

The main choices for sophomore students are Rockwell Towers and Seaside Hall. Students should not hesitate to choose Seaside when they fill out their applications.

Seaside has so many amazing amenities in the building, including several laundry facilities, an amazing gym, a beautiful lobby and lounge area with many events hosted for residents.

The Super Bowl party in the Seaside lobby was catered by Dominos, Wing Stop and Nothing Bundt Cakes. It had a great turnout, and I had so much fun.

I think the bathrooms in Seaside are also much more modern and nicer than the ones in Towers. In Seaside, the shower is completely private and separate from the rest of the bathroom, the total opposite of Towers or first-year housing.

I have found it more convenient to undress and change next to the shower instead of having to walk around in a towel or robe to get to the shower. There is much more privacy in this style of setup.

Another huge benefit I have found while living in the Seaside dorms is that it is located incredibly close to the new baseball parking lot. With the Rho parking lot closed, the baseball lot is one of the main parking lots on campus.

It is a quick walk up to Seaside from that lot. There is also street parking all along John Tyler Drive.

While parking is never easy at Pepperdine’s Malibu campus, I believe living in Seaside makes the parking situation a little less stressful.

To me, Seaside dorms are beautiful, convenient and so much fun to live in. I think everyone should apply to live in Seaside!
