Nope, they aren't they turned lounges into "dormrooms" because the actual dorm rooms would be too small to film in.
yes
Pepperdine University in Malibu
There is such thing as PCA but, its not on that campus its in Malibu, California. It's not a college its a school on campus for 6th through 12th grade girls and another for boys. The Nickelodeon series, Zoey 101, was shot at Pepperdine University on Pepperdine's Malibu campus. Pepperdine signs were covered with trendy, purple signs reading "Pacific Coast Academy", the name of the boarding school attended by the students on the show.
PCA, unfortunately, is not a real place. But, the outside shots were filmed at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, which is a Christian university affiliated with the Churches of Christ.
Pepperdine University in Malibu- that's were it was filmed.
just like they do in zoey 101 except the dorms dont look like that
pepperdine college of Cali
Pacific Coast Academy as shown in the show Zoey 101 as a high school boarding school is not real. There are other academies such as the Pacific Coast Academy of dance and other sports. There is a boarding school located along the Pacific coast like the one shown on Zoey 101, but it is not "PCA" it is called the Stevenson School.
The entire series was shot at Pepperdine University, which had colorful "PCA" banners put up around campus. If you look at a few pictures posted on Wikipedia, you'll recognize the Dean's office and a couple of sites from establishing shots.
Zoey 101 is just a reality show. You can look at Oak Creek Ranch school, its not the exact same but its really cool. But I am sorry the PCA isn't a real school. They filmed it at Pepperdine University.
Pacific Coast Academy (PCA)
Pacific Coast Academy is a fictional school attended by the characters in the Nickelodeon television series Zoey 101. While the supposed address of the school is unknown, original filming of the show took place at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.
