I'm only in the teaching program, but definitely anyone who wants to become a teacher! It's got an amazing teaching program. It's also private, so people should come expecting to pay a fair amount. Also, liberal people, because it's in a liberal part of California. People who don't mind going to school in the late afternoon/evening, because that's when all of my classes are so that we can all work during the day.

Dominican University of California is not a large party school. If you are looking to go out to raging parties every weekend, then this is not the right fit for you. In my opinion, the ideal student is one that likes a small classroom setting, is very focused on their studies, and plans ahead for their future. There is a social life on campus; however, if you do not go out there and make friends or join clubs then it can seem like one does not exist.

Anyone can find a place to belong at Dominican. It is a small campus where everyone either knows you, or at least recognizes you. It is a private, Catholic school, but I was not a practicing Catholic when I attended, and I fit in just fine. There are many clubs and sports to participate in, both competitive and non-competitive. It is a place where your professors will get to know you, and where you will make friends. There is both nature, and city attractions nearby, something for everyone. It is a place to get to know yourself.

Brittany

The kind of person who should attend this school is one who is serious about his or her education and who prefers having the opportunity to interface directly with their teachers and professors, rather than just a Teacher's Assistant. We don't have sororities or fraternities so someone interested in the Greek life wouldn't like it here. However, we do have numerous co-ed dorms and there are quite a few fun activities available for those who choose to live on campus.
