Advice anyone? My daughter is still trying to make a last minute decision between Chapman in Orange and UC Davis. Undeclared but interested in Journalism and Social work. Waitlisted at UCSB, UCSD, UCI and Slo?. Davis doesn’t allow freshman to have cars so that concerns her…
@12together - this is a thread dedicated to Theater/Drama majors! Maybe check out the Chapman forum
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/chapman-university/
and the Davis forum
http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-davis/
and see if anyone has good advice for you. I know kids who love both schools!
