Hi Jane345,

As a current freshman at Chapman, I have to agree with the posts above and say that housing at Chapman is great, and definitely part of the reason that I decided to go to Chapman. I am familiar with the room layout that you described and although it might not be the most desired layout for your student, many people prefer the way it gives you your own personal space and lots of storage. As for having three roommates, I can assure you that there is more than enough space for three people (the dorms were built for three) and I wouldn’t trade having my two roommates for anything…even the extra space.

Also, I have had many friends from colleges across the country visit me, and all of them were impressed with our dorm facilities and said that they were better than their own. When I was looking at colleges, Chapman was the only school to show a room with current students, and one university showed a room outfitted by the Container Store. (Which, although attractive, was not an accurate representation of the dorms). Chapman shows actual dorm rooms because their housing is something to be proud of, and I’m so sorry if your tour experience wasn’t a good representation of the Chapman dorms.

I hope you take this information into consideration, and please let me know if you have any other questions about Chapman housing or the university in general, and I’d love to shed some light on issues you may be concerned about.

Sincerely,
A happy (and well-adjusted ) CU Panther
