The best of Southern California is at your fingertips from this Orange campus

Private Suburban Walkable Public Transportation Rail Service Metrolink

A longtime fixture in Orange’s historic Old Towne district, Chapman University is consistently ranked one of the best and most innovative universities in the region. The university is perhaps best known for its various arts programs, including the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, a state-of-the-art facility that takes full advantage of the school’s close proximity to Hollywood talent.

The main campus sits just two blocks north of Orange Plaza Square, making it easy to walk into the city center in your downtime for a sandwich at Bruxie or a cup of coffee at The Aussie Bean. The CU main campus is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, offering countless house and apartment rental options within walking distance.

The Orange Metrolink station is close at hand, making it easy to get around the area (Angel Stadium in Anaheim is only one stop away on the Orange County Line) or get to the university without a car.
