What is ZeeMee and How Should I Use It Before Starting at Pepperdine
Getting ready to start your journey at Pepperdine is an exciting time. But, it can also feel like a whirlwind. Between finalizing your enrollment, figuring out housing, and daydreaming about life in Malibu, you might be wondering how to connect with your future classmates. One of the best things about Pepperdine is the community. It’s welcoming, close-knit, and full of people who genuinely want to see each other thrive. And the good news is—you don’t have to wait until move-in day to experience it.
Through the ZeeMee app, you can start connecting with other incoming Waves right now.
What is ZeeMee?
ZeeMee is a free social media platform that is specific to admission. It allows students to meet and chat with one another before stepping foot on campus and an official student. Many schools use it, from UC Berkeley to Vanderbilt to Texas A&M, but what makes it special here is the way it reflects our unique sense of belonging.
In the Pepperdine ZeeMee community, you’ll meet other admitted or enrolled students, join interest-based group chats, and start friendships that will carry into your first semester and beyond.
Why Join Now?
The short answer is: because we want you to be able to experience the Pepperdine community. The long answer:
You’ll get to know your classmates early by learning their names, swapping stories, and seeing familiar faces on day one. You can share your interests whether it's surfing, traveling, singing in worship, or cheering at games, you’ll find others who share your passions. You can ask questions about what to pack for move-in, how meal plans work, etc, and current students and staff are in the chat to answer. You might even connect with your future roommate here and get a head start on planning your room.
Don’t just take our word for it, Isabelle, a current student at Pepperdine, had this to say:
“ZeeMee was one of the main platforms that helped me stay connected with Pepperdine throughout my application period. I was able to meet my freshman roommate and suitemates before coming onto campus, and even while we were all over the world studying abroad the following year, we all kept in touch and are still rooming with each other!”

Is ZeeMee Safe?
Yes! It’s a trusted, secure way to connect, but as with any online platform, you should always be thoughtful about what you share.
