Half an hour is all Chapman University gave Adam Richardson to move belongings from his car to “The K,” the school’s newly opened 400-bed residence hall.
So, the sophomore got on his skateboard, bent forward to grab his cart – packed with clothes, sporting goods and half a dozen cans of nutritional supplements – and pushed off, shaving off precious seconds.
“This is like the best part,” he said.

Hundreds moved into the school’s dorms Thursday, Aug. 22, the first day returning Chapman students were allowed to do so. Freshmen moved in Aug. 20 for orientation week.
Students, some of whom haven’t seen each other for months, exchanged hugs and high-fives galore. They looked around their new rooms, thinking of what to cook or which posters to put up on the walls.
Richardson, from the Palos Verdes Peninsula, only had two carts of stuff. He plans to decorate his room only with an old naval map from his grandfather who was stationed in San Diego.
Others? Let’s just say Morgyn Pottorf, a sophomore from Houston, packed eight carts with “just stuff.” Thankfully, her family was there to help her out.
As students return to Chapman, the biggest change they will see this school year is the new Dale E. and Sarah Ann Fowler School of Engineering, launching a year ahead of schedule, Provost Glenn Pfeiffer said.
“We realized we had everything in place except that the facilities weren’t quite done,” he said.
The school will go two years without a permanent home, waiting for the staff to finish building a wing at the Keck Center for Science and Engineering.
Thursday also marked the opening of the $47 million “The K,” at the site of the historic Villa Park Orchards Association Packing House. It’s part of the university’s push to house nearly half of its students in dorms.
Jayna Nishioka, a sophomore from Washington state, is also one of those moving into the building. She was excited about getting to cook and use her new Instant Pot, as long as she could figure out how.
“It looks pretty manageable,” she said.
Classes start Monday, Aug. 26.

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
