  • The education you get at Dominican is really good, and the teachers go the extra mile for you. As long as you aren't enrolled in the overcrowded nursing program, you will probably have smaller classes and lots of one-on-one help from your teachers. The counselors here are great too. The only negative might be the somewhat clique-ish high school atmosphere sometimes.
