<p>So i was accepted into both chapman and USD, I applied for business admin at chapman and USD (but at usd you dont declare until sophmore year).After touring them i preferred U of San diego but that could be because i saw it during the semester whereas i saw chapman over the summer. If anyone on here goes to one of the schools, i would love to hear what you think, or if your an applicant who has toured the schools your thoughts would help. My concern with USD is that everyone there is white, wealthy, and somewhat jocky. My concern with chapman is that the social scene wont compare with USD because its in orange which is no san diego. Also how do the business schools compare? Let me know!</p>
<p>Regional schools generally have strong network in their local and regional area. And the companies also have tie-ups with such schools. While national level schools may have wider network and that’s about it.</p>
<p>In the real world, all applicants have the same opportunities to apply for the same jobs. Most employers don’t really care which school you graduated from as long as you have the skills, experience, and knowledge.</p>
<p>A good example, DS interns for someone from a national university.</p>
<p>Chapman is a top ten tier-1 regional school. Actually, Chapman could be or should be listed as a national university. Chapman is internationally known. Just a reminder, Chapman Singapore.</p>
<p>For those people who are concern about diversity, from our area high school last year, 75% of those selected to attend Chapman were Asian. Some students don’t put on their college application their ethnicity. Just a reminder, Loretta Sanchez is a U. S. Representative to congress for California, a Chapman alumni that is not white.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>For those who are concern about distance, in reality, Chapman is the better location. OC is more centrally located because L.A. is north of OC, and San Diego is south of OC. If an internship offer is in L. A., and you are in San Diego, you would drive a longer distance and vice versa.</p>
<p>Hello!
We dont want to pipe in too much because we want to respect the neutrality of this conversation, but I wanted to provide the official link to Chapmans Business school rankings just as a resource: [Chapman</a> University - ASBE - ASBE News - ASBE Rankings and Recognition](<a href=“Page Not Found | Chapman University”>Page Not Found | Chapman University)
Good Luck with your decision</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>actually, one of my biggest concerns about Chapman is that it seems like it is primarily wealthy students who are able to attend - with little socioeconomic diversity to spice up discussions and viewpoints. I wonder if that is really how it seems from the “inside” or if that is just an external perception.</p>
<p>There are many students attending Chapman based solely on scholarships and grants or other means of financial aid such as loans, work-study, jobs, etc. who otherwise won’t be able to attend. Therefore, the school is not just for the wealthy. You will see a mixer of both.</p>
