San Rafael was a site for CTY and CAA. It replaced Seattle in 2016 but is now defunct. It was located on the campus Dominican University. It was located in San Rafael, California and was only 10 miles from San Francisco. It was founded in 1890 and is located in Marin county.
Site History
Dominican University is named after St. Dominic de Guzman, who was the founder of the Dominican Order, now better known as the Order of Preachers. The University became fully coeducational in 1971 after previously being an all women college. It is the smallest university in California to host a Governor's debate. And Edgehill Manor (In the photo) got a new renovation in 2010. The mansion has been at the site since 1893, or over 120 years.
Dorms
The Dorms for the site (but not necessarily part of CTY) are:
Fanjeaux
Fanjeaux Hall is the girls' dorm, with a lounge and the Campus Bookstore on the first floor. It has three floors, all with lounges and can usually contain about three halls per floor. A bathroom is shared by two rooms as opposed to public bathrooms. Located across the street from the Archbishop Alemany Library and Caleruega Hall, it is connected to Pennafort Hall, the boys' dorm, by a covered walk way. The outside of the building looks like a stone castle from Europe.
Edgehill Village
Pennafort
Pennafort Hall is the boys' dorm, located next to Fanjeaux Hall, the girls' dorm. It is located across the street from Archbishop Alemany Library and Caleruega Hall. Pennafort is the only student dorm building containing vending machines. It also houses the Main Office and Nurse's Office on the second floor. Like Fanjeaux, it holds multiple halls and a lounge each floor.
Anything to contribute for the site for those going to Session one would be appreciated.
