Chapman University Top Questions

I think the most frustrating thing about Chapman is finding an on-campus job. It is fairly easy for someone who has held an on-campus job before to obtain a job, but if you are a first-year student, it's really hard to find a job. I have been told that in order to have the best shot, you have to apply right when you get to school the first semester, so now I know for next year.

There are so many opportunities and classes available in your own major and other fields of study. It is so difficult to find the balance between academic and social fulfilment. There is that constant struggle, you are always busy and always running around.

The most frustrating thing for me is how much Greek life impacts campus life. I really dislike Greek life and find many of its members to be mere followers of their sorority or fraternity rather than thinking as individuals. They have too much impact on campus life to be (not) thinking like that.

financial situation and then lack of diversity

Sometimes is is difficult to register for some classes that fill up quickly but usually if you sit in the first day of class, professors will sign you in id there are enough seats available or even request to change rooms so that more students can join the class.

When it comes to registration, they always let the freshmen register first, which is sometimes hindering to sophomores and juniors, but especially to transfers and those who switch majors.

Although Chapman's campus is beautiful there is always construction around campus, which does not hinger work, but can be annoying at times.

Unavailability of classes to Upper classmen...It's a little difficult to sign up for classes as you get older, but Chapman will work with you to help you...it just takes a while!

that i can't stay here longer

Chapman can be too focused on making itself look good in the long run...and not worrying about who they're pissing off currently. Building marble statues and new swimming pools is ultimately way more in their interest than keeping tuition down. Chapman's main goal in life is to be USC.
