New York University
Washington Square Park is an icon of New York City. It is located in Greenwich Village in Manhattan and surrounded by the buildings of NYU. The famous arch was made in 1889 to celebrate the hundred years since George Washington was inaugurated as president of the United States. The arch was modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France and still stands proudly today.

Pepperdine University
The Stauffer Chapel is one of Pepperdine’s best known features. It provides a place of quiet reflection overlooking Malibu beaches. Ulysses Floyd Rible designed it. Outside, the windows are black, but on the inside it reveals the beautiful stained glass. There is more than 3,000 square feet of stained glass in the chapel in over 105 different colors.

Pepperdine UniversityTrees
Pepperdine University has a mix of many different species of trees, most of them native to California.
After researching and comparing the two colleges, I have decided that Pepperdine University is better for me. Even though New York University has a renowned film program, Pepperdine offers good Journalism, Film, and Literature programs as well. It also is a Christian school, and allows me to consider my faith in my future while I study. The international program interests me, too. In conclusion, Pepperdine is the best school for me, and I will consider that while weighing all my options as I explore the future.
