Chapin residents are known for their broad intellectual and cultural interests and their warmth and humor. They come from all schools within the University and from diverse cultural backgrounds. The college is small enough for students to make close friends yet large enough for true diversity. Chapin is known for its lively lunchtime conversations and its close relations with its fellows, some of whom have had ties to the college for more than a decade. Chapin sponsors theater outings, faculty teas, and entertaining coffeehouses where students and faculty alike display their hidden talents. Many Chapin residents have served as paid research assistants on faculty projects that have ranged in subject from ancient Roman coins to "Why We Care about Literary Characters." Faculty members have offered firesides on folk music, modern pilgrimage, and the history of baseball. An annual evening of "Frivolous Readings" features literary parodies and humorous writings by fellows. Chapin's
online newsletter publishes student-written editorials,
essays, fiction, poetry, and resident profiles. Residents
support local charities through fundraising and volunteer
work, organized intramural sports teams, and host an annual
spring banquet. Chapin Hall is located on the South Campus.
Its facilities include a small library, a study room with
computers, a living room with a piano, a TV lounge, a Ping-Pong
table, and a kitchen.
