Interesting facts about your school

to add to duchesscv's information about cal state dominguez hills:

when i gave campus tours to incoming freshmen, we were told to tell them (which who's knows if it's the truth or not!) that dominguez hills was obtained from monks, who stated that they would only give over the land if:

1 - the buildings would never be taller than the trees (which i'm not sure, but i think welsh hall is)

and 2 - the campus would never have a "violent" sports team (meaning football - so even though we have a gorgeous sports complex on campus, we can't have a football team.)

also, cal state dominguez hills is mentioned in "bring it on" and there is debates on whether or not it was actually filmed on campus.

AEG’s CSUDH athletics facility upgrades include a new campus soccer, baseball and softball fields. An Olympic Velodrome for cycling and a venue for beach volleyball will open soon. (our old velodrome was used in the 1984 los angeles olympics.)
