One of the main stereotypes of Chapman students is that they are a bunch of rich white suburban kids. While there are certainly a good number of males and females that fit this stereotype--and at times this may seem like the majority--one can find a good variety of students from Chapman, varying from film geeks to stoners to jocks.

The stereotype is that we are all rich and are really smart. I agree that most of us are smart because it is a challenging school to get into but we are not all rich and stuck up. Majority of us are on scholarships, grants,and loans
Michelle
The majority of students who attend Chapman University are white and rich kids who come from affluent families in Orange County.
Gretchen
Primarily made up of Film majors since the school is best known for its film program. While there are a majority of students studying Film, the university is known for its Business, Psychology, and Music majors among many others.

My school is full of upper class kids. They might not have a lot of money in their pockets but their parents are definitely loaded. When I was going to come to Chapman University, I was afraid I was not going to fit in with the stereotype since about 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body drives either a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus or Audi. Therefore, a lot of the fraternities and sororities on campus are successful, since they have no problem collecting dues and putting up epic events! But overall, I would not change all the people that come to Chapman University, nor would I make the choice of going to a different school. I love the community and how nice the people are. However, in order to fully answer the question, yes, the stereotype is accurate, since it can easily be seen among the Chapman University community.

Chapman is commonly portrayed to be full of rich stuck up kids, however I have found that to be the complete opposite. When I toured Chapman back in Fall 2009 when I was on the college hunt, I was immediately attracted to the campus because I noticed all the students walking past me were happy. They seemed excited to be a part of the Chapman community and eager to learn! All of the students I met that day were very friendly and have been ever since. Also, over 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the student body is on some type of financial aid and scholarships while attending Chapman, so it is definitely not pretentious. Chapman is a beautiful school and the students who go there are really friendly and genuinely care about getting a higher education

The stereotypes of Chapman University are probably rich spoiled white kids. I would have to disagree with this, although there may be some people who fit in with this stereotype it is a small amount of people. Many people at Chapman are on scholarships or financial aid. I would have to agree that the majority of Chapman's students are white, not much diversity, but it is getting better. Another thing is almost everyone is super friendly at Chapman, especially within the first couple weeks of class. The classes are mostly close-kint allowing for classes too be more fun.
