Favorite Spot on Campus

I love the Amphitheatre because it can serve various needs, including outdoor worship and concerts. It's a great centralized location to bring members of the Pepperdine community together. When there isn't an event going on, it's a scenic area that provides space to reflect, recharge, and reset.
