This place it expensive.Quite BrightVideo/Media
This place it expensive. With how expensive it is you get snotty kids.
Dorms: I was assigned to the nomo dorms. They're shit. And the roommate compatibility worksheet you fill out, they don't use it exactly. My roommate and I had nothing in common. The rules aren't enforced that often. There's been empty alcohol bottles outside the rooms, and people smoking weed. You can smell it through the vents.

I'm in the film school and the first intro to film class, the mandatory class, is where you meet snooty kids. They brag about projects they did and hog the attention of the teachers because they want them to back the movies they made BEFORE going to Chapman. Everyone thinks that they're a filmmaker in that class. There is a way to avoid it though. If you aren't a film production major and not that interested in film production and just want an easier A, take the film class on the regular campus, not the film school.

You will meet spoiled kids with horrible values, and nice people that had to work to get to Chapman. But it seems worth it. We'll see.Also playfair, or whatever they call it, you don't need to go there to make friends. The OA advisers say it's life changing, but it isn't.

Wow. I dont really know what to say.Super BrilliantBusiness - Management and Administration
Wow. I dont really know what to say. If you happen to be a transfer, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT, come here! I am bored out of my mind everyday! None of the transfers like this school. The students are the dumbest MFer's I have ever met. Attend at your own risk!!!!!!! If you come prepare to be the outlier and be treated like you are back in high school!!!!! Wanna ask questions email me at Seriously!

Could not be happierQuite BrightPolitical Science
Could not be happier with my undergraduate choice. Transferred to Chapman from another Liberal Arts college out of state. Chapman is everything I wanted and more - best combination of academic and social. Highly recommend!
