Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Super Brilliant After spending two years here, it was time for me to go to another school (UC Berkeley) to finish my education. I came here with the firm belief that college is what you make of it, and I still hold that to be true. However, at Chapman, even if you are getting straight A's in the bio department, you still are not doing enough to be on par with students at other top universities. As a pre-med, I felt my chances of getting into a top med school were slim to none coming from here. However, this isn't because of the knowledge you are taught. I think that the classes actually prepare students rather well for the MCATs (if YOU put the time in and work and go above and BEYOND) and most serious contenders for med school will come out with a super high GPA(read: 3.9+). However, to put it bluntly, not many people get into med school from here. Actually, I can only recall one person in the past few years (no counting people who are post baccs, coming here with degrees from schools like Harvard UCLA etc.) that got into a DO program at some school I had never heard of. I shouldn't forget to mention he was the valedictorian. Only if you are truly prepared to go above and beyond at this school (and there are some people I know who are doing this and I think will make it!) in order to make yourself a stud in the med app pool will someplace HAVE to let you in. Don't expect for a second that Chapman's name will do anything for you in the pursuit of your goals! Campus Aesthetics: A, Collaboration/Competitive: D Have a Question?

Speaking of parking, bidding for a space in the Argyros Lot and that other lot by the pool reeks of elitism because seriously only the richer will be able to afford it. And how the hell does that solve the parking problem? Beautiful campus: Well kept and maintained with that big fountain, trees & artwork. Beautiful co-eds: Some of the best-looking girls are here. Sure, a lot of them probably are stuck-up but who said you had to talk to them? Surrounding area is okay, particularly Old Town Orange circle with its shops, bars, restaurants and classic homes. Like any other school or institution, you will have both snooty/arrogant students AND friendly/easy-going students although it does seem that there are more stuck-up students at Chapman. It's a learning experience to find out who is who and whether you want to socialize with them. I'd say it's a life-learning experience because these same people are gonna be out there in the real world. Faculty is a mixed bag. Each professor definitely knew their stuff so teaching was quality. A few were nice and approachable while others seem to rush their meetings with you. Staff were nice and helpful. Class sizes ranged from small (7) to big (25). Library was okay for research but you may end up going to CSUF or UCI for more materials. Studying there was a mixed bag because sometimes it was quiet and sometimes it was not. Seriously, do people not remember the rule to stay quiet in the library? I'm not talking about the first floor (that's excusable), I'm talking the 2nd and 3rd floor. STFU! I'm amazed at how each building classrooms differ in furniture. Like in Beckman, comfy chairs and nice descending rows of long desks. In Smith or Hashinger, you're back in middle school. For a school that charges a lot for tuition, you'd think they'd upgrade some of their furniture, yeah? Overall it wasn't too bad. I'd recommend it for those who are willing to shell out more for their education and know how to deal with (or tolerate) the snooty OC/SoCal scene. Otherwise, I'd recommend other nearby schools.

It's true a college is what you make it. However, the surrounding students and faculty are a big part of the experience too. I will write another review next year if I return.

The University holds a lot of weight in the Orange County/Southern California area, and is working on gaining more recognition every day. I transferred here out of community college and I like it a lot here. I have yet to meet anyone here that was a jerk or anything like that. Lots of nice and friendly people here and the school is what you make of it. Come here. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Surrounding City: C Have a Question?
