If you're looking for the best college experience, you won't find it here. USC is a way better deal for the same price. The requirement are relatively the same. If you are fine with being the person that's just "meh", don't need a social life, and content with an outrageous tuition charge for decent teaching, Chapman is the place for you! Go Panthers!... This place has gone downhill.

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.

I wish someone had told me not to go to chapman before I started here. It is overpriced and not worth the money at all. I feel I haven't learned anything new since highschool. I didn't transfer out because I really do love my friends but I have supplemented my education by attending other universities. It really is a world of difference. It seems that a lot of the wealthier people come here because their GPA wasn't high enough to get into college, or get accepted to their choice college so they came here as a back up. Also it is really annoying how they have the online classes for extending education. It reduces the name and the degree to be slightly above devry or heald. If you want to go to a college which name inspires respect, or even recognition outside of the greater orange county area, than chapman is not the school for you. I didn't go to UCI because I didn't think it would be academically challenging enough, I thought and what I was sold on visits and tours was that I would be intellectually stimulated here. Even some of the brighter students do not possess the ability to think critically. If you are considering this school, seriously explore other options.
