Chapman University vs Loyola Marymount University

Chapman University is in Orange, California. 

LMU is located on the Del Rey Hills in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Starting on day one at Chapman University, students can seize numerous opportunities to enhance their college experience outside the classroom — socially, spiritually, and physically — all with health and safety in mind. From Broadway-style performances and athletics to cross-cultural initiatives and student life activities, you will find your home with the university. Chapman University is home to over 500 student-athletes who compete in 21 sports at the NCAA Division III level in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). In addition, Chapman sponsors seven club sports programs ranging from men’s lacrosse to cheerleading. Chapman is a bustling university with numerous events and activities happening daily. There are concerts, lectures, tours, sports games, plays, screenings, religious ceremonies, info sessions, student activities, gallery openings, club meetings, Greek events and much, much more. Health and safety of the Chapman Family is a top priority for the University. University's commitment can be seen in the healthy foods and fitness resources that it offers, the dedicated public safety, disability services, medical and physiological counseling staff that is on hand daily. From the Student Union in Argyros Forum where you can rent an iPad, grab a hot meal and socialize with friends to the Doti-Struppa Rock Wall in the residence halls where you can test your physical limits, students are free and welcome to immerse themselves in the whole Chapman student life experience.

The LMU campuses provide a backdrop to each student's unique university experience. They provide an environment in which students focus deeply on academics, while also embracing life outside the classroom — from arts to athletics, spirituality to service. LMU provides diverse experiences that educate the whole person in mind, body and spirit. Traditional residence halls, suites, apartments and houses are home to more 3,200 students who live on campus. The university facilities provide everything you need to live comfortably and excel academically. A variety of dining options, coffee shops, and convenience stores are available to suit your tastes and fit your schedule. A wide range of on-campus services and programs are available to ensure that our students stay healthy physically, emotionally and mentally. LMU CARES (LMU's Campus Awareness Resource Education Services) provides education about resources, support and policies regarding sexual and interpersonal misconduct and prevention. Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) are the hub of student involvement, leadership and excellence at Loyola Marymount University. RSOs — such as clubs, sorority and fraternity chapters, honor societies, service groups, sports teams and more — offer opportunities for all students at LMU to get involved, contribute, lead and make lasting friendships along the way.
