Home is where the heart is. That’s why Chapman is located in Orange, California, the
historic heart of Orange County.
Sunny, safe, and suburban, Orange County is much more than just a travel destination.
It’s a hub of art and industry that feels like home.
What's Nearby
Chapman University's Orange Campus is:
10 minutes from Disneyland:
You can get to Southern California’s most famous theme park by car or train. And it's
so close you can see the evening fireworks from campus.
10 minutes from Angel Stadium and Honda Center:
Catch a quick baseball or hockey game or concert and be back on campus in no time
at all.
15 miles from Knott's Berry Farm:
A piece of Southern California history, this theme park is right nearby.
20 minutes from beaches:
Southern California is sunny all year long, so there’s never a bad time to hit the
beaches.
Close to dozens of parks and trails:
If you’re up for a hike or a picnic, Chapman isn’t far from parks, trails, and other
places to have fun outdoors.
Near major cities:
Los Angeles is about an hour north and San Diego 90-minutes to the south. Both are
accessible by car or train.
Do I Need a Car?
If you're deciding whether to bring a car to campus, visit the "Do I Need a Car?"
page to explore all the available transportation options and determine what works
best for you.
