REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am learning many different things at Dominguez. My first year here has really built a great foundation for the rest of my scholastic career. From easy tips to taking notes and easy study tips.
Current Business student
The current learning experience is via distance learning, it is suprisingly rigorous. There are some weekends that you attend for some of the classes. This makes it easy for working professionals such as myself.
A nurse
There are so many things to learn within each subject that I have not learned before. Each class has a professor that is prepared and willing to teach us more within a subject.
Veronica from Norwalk, CA
CSU Dominguez Hills has small class; therefore, if you enjoy interacting with the professors and the other students this is the school for you. Since I enjoy working in a small classroom I have been learning a lot and it has been great working with the professors and students.
Azalia from Vista, CA
California State Dominguez Hills has a great learning environment with very supportive teachers and staff. This campus is great for open-minded student with the passion to learn. A great learning experience.
Hugo from Los Angeles, CA
I haven't started class yet, but I do expect great stuff.
Antonio from Long Beach, CA
I love living in the dorms because, it was a great way to meet new people. My second year was my best dorm experience since I was living with friends from my first year. Everyday was something new and always a lot of fun. Dorming was like living alone but with some supervision. It seemed as if everyone knew each other and if they didn’t then there would be no fear in introducing yourself. If dorming is ever an option I highly recommend it!
Destiny - Desert Hot Springs, CA
Dominguez, home of the Toros, is a great environment for learning. CSUDH has a very diverse student body full of people who are serious about their studies and who know how to have fun. The university has great faculty, unique extracurricular activities, strong academics and a beautiful aesthetic.
Christina from Long Beach, CA
California State University Dominguez Hills has a good size campus, it is not to big nor too small. It has a huge library and even a cafe in it. There is always something going on outside and the students are very active.
Gabriela from Wilmington, CA
Great school for both undergraduate and graduate work. The campus itself, the students, and professors are all very kind and willing to help a student out and are also very inviting. The school is not a party school but rather a community school where people work together and have fun (that does not involve drinking or smoking, etc.) but by holding events that let students become involved on campus.
