    The campus is gorgeous, the people are well rounded and being here is just amazing. Everyone is into the sports, so supporting one another is a huge deal for us. We've all became almost like a family. There isn't any way you can walk through campus and not see at least 15 familiar faces, all of which, if you say hi or definitely going to say Hi back.

    Dominican is a very pleasant, peaceful place to be. There is an abundant amount of nature on campus and benches to sit and relax for quite study or for clearing of the mind. You can walk up to anyone and share a smile and you wont be looked at like a criminal. Everything is peaceful in Dominican.

    My college experience is there, even though it's known to not have a lot of students than a UC. But the college experience seems no different than any other college. There are things to do at school and outside of school. It's the matter of you wanting to make thee best out of college.

    I enjoy being at this school. The university is small and it gives me the chance to meet other people. Since I live on campus, it's easier for me to get to my classes, meet with my instructors one-on-one, and attend school events.
