Positive Negative Neutral Advice
This is the worst school in the entireBrightVideo/Media
This is the worst school in the entire world, not just America. Like many people have said, everyone here thinks they're better than everyone else. Nobody goes out of their way to be nice, or even is nice at all. If you're not an athlete, in a club, or in Greek life, then you won't have any friends (not that you'd want to be friends with any of those people). The professor are great and have a lot of real world experience in the industry. I am a Television & Broadcast Journalism major, but I want my job to be in sports, like many of the other people in my major. However, the major doesn't have an emphasis in sports, so that's one thing I don't like. Many of the other negative reviews are all true. The stuck-up rich girls, dumb jocks, people who just like to get drunk and party, the most close-minded people, and meanest people you'll ever meet, are the majority of the "ethnicity" of people that go to Chapman. If you want a good college experience, don't go here. If you want to get ripped off, and be alone and sad all the time with no friends, then this is the right place for you.

Question
I'm transferring to a community college because IBrightUndecided
I'm transferring to a community college because I am SOO desprite to get out of here. I leave every weekend becuase their is nothing to do around here without driving through LA traffic and no one wants to leave the bubble of the school. Parties are rolled before they start and the dorm has a closed door policy so most just hang out alone all during the week. I even joined a sorority and still constantly have nothing to do. I wasted my money here. The school also does a poor job correcting its own mistakes. I reseved the lowest grade of college, and the grade was obviously a mistake since I Aced everything in the class and the school will not help me fix the grade and now my whole GPA is brought down. Do not come here, unless your film, or like being alone a lot, bored. Or are coming in with friends who actually want to go out and do things outside of Orange.

Question
The faculty and administration in the music departmentQuite BrightMusic Education
The faculty and administration in the music department is conceited, dramatic, arrogant, and completely unhelpful. While the rest of the university is fairly focused on individual students, the music department is not only ignorant of the individuals, but also ignorant of the rest of the university. Trying to graduate in 4 years is nearly impossible based on both the absurd requirements for music majors, as well as the idiotic faculty.
