Living on Campus and scholarships

<p>

I rather enjoyed the email I got from Dean Price today letting us know that if you're not a freshmen, you're basically forced to live off campus. </p>

<p>Chapman will then decrease our scholarships or financial aid because we're off campus (even though it's not by choice).

<p>This doesn't sound too good if you need financial aid and were planning of living on campus.</p>

<p>Dean Price said that the school is only able to guarantee housing for next year to current freshmen. So they are guaranteeing housing for freshmen AND sophomores next year. The year after that, an additional 400 beds open in the new Filmmaker’s Village dormitory. Also, the tour guide we met last year said that this current year, the school was able to accommodate on-campus housing for everyone who requested it. So the situation is not as grim as it sounds. Dean Price also said in his email that juniors and seniors with extenuating circumstances that make it so that you need to live on campus to contact housing and explain.
I believe Chapman revokes 3k to 4k of scholarship money if the student lives off campus, but off-campus housing is cheaper than on-campus, so it should be a wash.</p>

<p>Thanks for shedding some light on the issue.</p>

<p>The additional 400 beds for the planned Filmmaker’s Village dormitory is on hold for at least a couple of years. </p>

<p>Here is the latest story:</p>

<p>I also confirmed with the Chapman U finacial aid office that take will take away $3000 for your Chapman U Grant if you live off campus (in the adjacent neiborhood). You can still eat on campus at their cafetreias/food venues by buying a commuter plan.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the 3000$ grant is given to all students who live on campus, or only to those under a certain EFC threshold? I assume it’s the latter.</p>

<p>$3,000 of a Chapman U grant is for living on campus. Chapman U grants are so generous they beat out any other University by 3 times the amount. For example USC gives the average student only a few thousand dollars why Chapman gives the average student approx. $27,000.</p>

<p>That is why many students whom were accepted at both USC & Chapman U end up going to Chapman. Would you rather pay $25,000/years in loans and cash at Chapman or $52,000/year at USC when you live on campus?</p>

<p>Beside that you probably get a better undergraduate education at Chapman with the small class size and dedicated caring Professors at Chapman.</p>

<p>USC is a fine school, but $220K for a bachelor’s degree is tough for most people to stomach.</p>
