Chapman University Top Questions

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.

The stereotype of rich, white, spoiled kids is somewhat true. A lot of students at Chapman are like this, but some are not. The majority of Chapman is on scholarship, so we all work hard for our money. However, there are many students who do not care about school or their education, which is annoying. Still, you will find hard-working, strong students here who have multiple jobs and are scraping by to get this great education.

These are very far from the truth and are even slightly offensive. I do not spend my days at the mall nor do I have the funds to do so. Approximately 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of students at Chapman receive financial aid both governmental assistance as well as merit awards--so we all don't live in Coto de Caza and drive BMW's. There are of course some bleach blond beauties walking around and guys with tans wearing Oakley sunglasses but to say that is all we are would be a very large and wrong assumption.

To some degree, as stereotypes are. NOT all of us are here on Mom and Dad's money. Just about 78 percent of the population is actually here on scholarship. We're not all rich and, yes, we know what hard work is. It's true that there are those girls and boys. However, the majority of them are smart -- they have to be to stay here because Chapman doesn't allow slackers.

No. The students here are really nice, laid-back, looking to have fun, but are also focused on their school work. A lot of our student body is from all over the U.S. We even have a decent base of international students.

To some extent. A large portion of students are Caucasian, and some people are really wealthy. That doesn't really mean a lot when you are actually going to the school. I think that at any school, you will meet people who are really rich and people who are barely getting by. I have found that students are too busy trying to get internships and to do well in class to care about who looks like what and who drives what.

True for 25{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students.
