New Southern California Campuses Cut Commute Time
National University's new Southern California campuses in Camarillo and Ontario are making higher education more accessible for hundreds of students in some of the fastest-growing areas in the state.
The Camarillo Center serves students in North Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, significantly reducing the commute for many who have been attending classes in Sherman Oaks. The facility opened for classes in April.
"Bless National University," said National University student Stacey Beamon after hearing about National University Camarillo. Ms. Beamon lives and works in Newbury Park, just up the grade from Camarillo. She is currently a substitute teacher, working for the Conejo Valley Unified School District while pursuing a credential and a master's degree.
Ms. Beamon said she appreciates National University because "It is so conducive to being able to work." Now the commute from Newbury Park to what used to be the nearest National University facility in Sherman Oaks, has gotten even shorter," she exclaimed. And that lightens the load signifcantly for students who work full time.
The Ontario Center now serves students in East Los Angeles and West San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The area where these three counties converge, commonly referred to as the Inland Empire, is one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. A campus in Ontario provides greater convenience to Inland Empire residents, many of whom were previously attending classes in Orange County or San Bernardino. That campus opened in May.
