After transferring from the College of Marin, I can confidently say that Dominican University of…read moreCalifornia was the perfect environment to complete my undergraduate education. The small class sizes transformed challenging upper division courses from weed outs into collaborative, professional experiences. I am especially grateful to Dr. T. Johnson, Dr. M. Sevigny, and Dr. J. McNally; their mentorship and the school's rigorous curriculum motivated me to realize my potential and steered me toward the biotechnology field. Shortly after graduating in Spring 2025, I accepted a full-time position as a Bioprocess Associate at BioMarin. I have no doubt that DU provided me with the technical foundation and communication skills essential for success in this industry. I look forward to building on this foundation as I pursue my Master's in Biotechnology at the University of San Francisco in the Fall 2026.

What I valued most was the 'interconnected' approach, which seamlessly blended the sciences and humanities to encourage both teamwork and individual scholarly achievement. As a biology major, I felt truly seen - professors and peers knew me by name and provided a level of support that has lasted years beyond graduation. Now working as an analytical chemistry scientist, I can attest that the university's rigorous research methodology courses provided the exact translatable skills I needed for a successful career transition.

They do have free parking, but it's way out by the athletic field and the portable buildings. I've taken several classes here, and like any college campus, It takes getting familiar with to know where to go for what. They do a good job having people out the first week of school, trying to guide people and show them based on their schedule where they need to go.

I attended COM IVC campus in the 90's and at that time was not pleased with most of my classes…read morebeing at night and the very dimly lit campus. However, I earned the credits needed for employment. I'm retired with a lot of health problems, and started talking slow walks around the campus last summer. When the community classes brochure arrived, I decided to sign up for aquatics for older adults per my physicians prescription! Unfortunately, the class I signed up for was canceled and I agreed to be switched to an afternoon class. After two classes I realized that it wasn't going to work for me. NO REFUNDS, not even for health related reasons. I didn't let that get me down, instead, I learned that the gym was available for a nominal daily fee, and since I had already purchased the parking pass, I might as well use it!! I've started going a few times a week, riding a stationary bike, using the elliptical (slow and steady on both) and using the weights to strengthen my body. The days and times are not always ideal for me, but it's better than an annual membership, and they're aren't a lot of gym bros there. It's a safe and comfortable environment for me. Today, I signed up for an exercise class, and will start that soon. I'm so happy that the Miwok Aquatics and Fitness Center are available to me when needed. The hammock swing before or after a workout is a bonus for meditation, rest and relaxation.

This review is for the EKG Technician Continuing Education course, Fall 2025, Concord Campus…read more The EKG Technician course is supposed to be an 11.5-week, 60-hour in-person program with instruction and hands-on lab experience, but the reality has been far from what was advertised, and instead a huge disappointment and waste of time. The start of class was delayed a week with no reason and no proactive communication about logistics - I had to reach out the first day of instruction just to find out which classroom to go to and who the instructor would be. Since then, multiple class sessions were canceled or ended early, and we had only about five hours of actual classroom time instead of the nearly 28 hours we should have had by the end of week 4 (minus four canceled classes). The content itself was very disappointing - mostly reading slides (which were a recap of the textbook) and watching YouTube videos with very limited access to equipment or lab practice (which seemed to be an administrative issue). There was no effort to make up missed time, and it's hard to see how students would reach the advertised 60 hours of instruction, let alone pass the course or pass state certification. The instructor appeared to have good intentions, but it seems this last-minute staffing decision left everyone unprepared, including the instructor themself. Attempts to contact Continuing Education for help went unanswered, which is incredibly frustrating for those of us who paid full fees (over $1,600) and commute long distances to attend. To make matters worse, the Concord campus at that time had poor (no) lighting on the walkway from the parking lot, which is definitely a safety concern for evening classes. Overall, this experience has been unprofessional and discouraging. CSU East Bay Continuing Education really needs to address the lack of communication, instructional quality, equipment availability, and basic campus safety before continuing to offer it. BTW, check your local community college instead if similar courses are offered, it will be A LOT cheaper ($46/unit for Cali residents)!

I came by here to get some books for school because it would save me a trip to the Hayward campus…read more Unfortunately, this place is out in the weeds too. It's next to a state park or in the middle of it. So, I came here because I thought it was closer. When I was in grad school before, there was a campus in Walnut Creek. It was in the middle of downtown and was quite easily accessible. But this place isn't. And if there is traffic (and there was) look out! I am glad that I don't have to come here regularly because I'd have to get out of work a good two hours before class to get there on time and then drive all of the way home after class. They aren't open on Friday or Saturdays. But I was able to pick up my books. I was going to look for some school swag but they didn't really have any. In the future, I will have my books sent to me to avoid having to come all of the way out here to pick up two books.

The Weills live in Sonoma and I joke that after his years at Travelers, Citicorp and Shearson he's been trying to buy back his soul. [My dad worked for him in one of their many satellite offices, my sister and I met Sandy Weill in an elevator, funny story] The Weills' money is quietly invested here in the beautiful Green Music Center at Sonoma State College in a natural landscape filled with field flowers and lush grasses. The campus itself is spread out with plentiful student housing rumored to be pretty posh and spacious. Sonoma State seems to have a focus on liberal arts with a concentration in the arts and STEM. The outdoor pool adjacent to the gym is pretty good but the locker rooms are dated, cramped and dirty and in need of an overhaul. You'll see evidence of Peanuts' Charles Schulz at Sonoma State. He was a Sonoma resident as well. Nice campus, small, quiet, tucked away in wine country.
