Dominican University has a beautiful campus and lovely people. There is so much you can do, they offer many majors and clubs. Dominican's diversity can really be seen through their clubs, people love to host events to educate and showcase their culture. The residential halls will remind you of Harry Potter and are very comfortable spaces, there's a room with a pool table and another with a ping pong table! Dominican offers so much support, there are many tutors and mentors available and of course, counseling services. There's even a first-generation student program called Torch who helps the transition from high school and are a great support system, you can come to them for any reason. The smaller student population allows for people to really connect with their professors and advisors, which enriches the student experience.
Dominican University of California is a wonderful school with small enough class sizes that allow for genuine student-student and student-professor engagement. At Dominican, my voice is heard and I am recognized as more than a student ID number, a bonus that is harder to find at larger Universities. Dominican presents undergraduates with graduate-level work such as the opportunity to create a Senior Thesis and conduct research--a truly priceless experience. What I would like to see change is the number of courses offered in a single semester; because of their small size, Dominican struggles with offering certain courses during both the Fall and Spring semesters.
One of the things I love about Dominican is the school and I both share the values of community and service. I've spent time over the past 10 years volunteering inside and outside of my local community, so I appreciate how Dominican encourages community involvement, as I’ve seen positive effects firsthand. Greater community involvement is congruent with the caliber of involved education that Dominican offers, particularly in that classrooms are smaller, allowing better connectivity between student, material, and professor. I believe this style of education is vital to creating successful change, and I love being a part of that community.
