Reviews
"Once Upon a Time, Dominican was where generations of CA Catholic School Girls went for college....there was also an impressive International contingent...Chances were that an aunt, cousin, sister attended the all-girls school. My aunt fell in love with the Dominican Nuns and joined the club. DC has been held in very high esteem and the good Sisters were an impressive lot. The campus was charming, nicely appointed and safe. Time move on...and the school went Coed and DC became a semi commuter school. And, so it goes..."
"I applied to the nursing program in 2021 and was not accepted- which was fine- but the call I received from the Admissions department is what really left a bad taste in my mouth about this school. The woman who called to tell me that I didn’t get in did so with the purpose of “selling” me another major. Her words: I don’t really see you getting into another nursing program in the state… your grades just aren’t high enough… but we do have other good bachelors programs. Outside of her statement being rude and unnecessary, it’s also untrue as I finished my master’s with a 4.0. Yes, I have a masters degree and this admissions person tried to sell me a BA in psychology or health admin. A degree that would be literally useless to me. I was more offended by the blatant attempt to make a quick buck than I was by her talking down to me in such a way. Needless to say I didn’t enroll here, but I did get into 2 other nursing programs in the Bay Area. I guess my grades were “high enough.”"
"Dominican University of California has outstanding teachers, dedicated staff and wonderful students. Recently, Dominican was named the nation’s most transformative four-year university by the American Council on Education and was listed as a top 10 school for post-graduate salaries. Go Penguins!"
"Dominican is a beautiful campus and famous school. Generations of Girls - (now it is coed -) have graced the halls of this impressive school. Meadowlands Dorm - the Frosh Dorm at one time- a majestic old mansion was unique. For some: Mothers, aunts, sisters, cousins attended. The Domincan Nuns were /are exceptional. The campus is fun place for a picnic on a Saturday."
"The student body is very diverse—racially, culturally and age-wise. The professors are dedicated and caring. The campus and surrounding area is beautiful. The library is filled with interesting books—some very old. The cafeteria has tasty food."
