<p>What’s the thought in 2 prefers of Chapman over LMU? We are from the east and looking at Chapman, USC, LMU, Oxy, Santa Clara, Chapman & Pitzer for next year and just wondering.</p>
<p>For my daughter is was the size and quality of the music department, she’s a Vocal Performance major. Chapman is also much more upscale and the dorms seemed nicer and larger. The new dining hall is fantastic, and finally my daughter has always dreamed of attending a school with an “east coast college town feel”. The city of Orange really fit the bill.</p>
<p>D Attending Chapman/Dodge, also accepted to Honors Program.</p>
<p>She passed on: USC, UCLA, Berkeley, Davis, Santa Barbara, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Cruz, Oxy, Cal Lutheran, Emerson College, CSUN, Cal Lutheran, Denison.</p>
<p>Chose Chapman for: production emphasis/freshman access,25k Presidential Scholarship, study abroad, size of school, class size, Honors Program & its endowment which funds trips, good vibe, word of mouth from current students.</p>

<p>I chose Chapman over Pitzer because I felt that it was a better fit for me. I think the location is slightly better than Claremont and the general feel of the school is more suited to me.</p>
<p>Plus, the business school (my major) at Chapman is well regarded…they don’t even have one at Pitzer or any Claremont Colleges I dont think. And they gave me $20,000 scholarship which helped a lot…</p>
<p>Congratulations to all the admitted students, and best of luck to those of you who are still waiting. Here’s a thread for those who have definitely decided to attend Chapman and what schools you have turned down?</p>
