SHAUNTE from SAINT ALBANS, NY
Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot Ive talked to a lot of professors, fellow students and even sat in on a couple classes. It was wonderful they are small in number this allows you the opportunity to get to know your teachers and your fellow classmates and obtain the one on one help if you need it;
Will enjoy being here I have been to the Manhattan Campus it located in Midtown Manhattan easily accesible by any train in NYC. I have also been to the Dobbs Ferry Campus which is the main campus and gorgeous! All of the campuses are connected so if you take classes at one campus you will always know what goes on at the other campuses. There is always events going on at every campus, there is a lot to do at Mercy!
Bang for the buck The tuition is very reasonable. As long as you have at least a 3.7 GPA you will get some type of assistantance grant or scholarship from Mercy!
Tips for prospective students If you can hand carry your application, offical copies of your transcripts and fill out your FAFSA form you will often get an acceptance on the spot. But even if you do it online you will get a reply within a couple days or you can just give it a few days and call 1800mercygo and they will tell you if you have been accpeted and where to go from there.
Great for these types of students Great for students who are interested in Clinical Laboratory Science, Vetenarians, Biology, Speech Therapy, Music Engineering, Art Desgin. ETC.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences I found this to be a great transition school. There are a lot of courses available both online and on campus. The Administration could be a little more helpful but I suppose that is the case with any college.
Tips for prospective students Make your schedules as soon as possible. Classes fill up very quickly!
Academic Rigor The online classes are very student driven. You must take responsibility for your own learning in this case because the professor is not there to remind you to do you work!
Dorm Life I did not dorm so I have no opinion.
Food and Dining I have not eaten on campuses so I have no opinion.
What to do for fun The school provides a monthly calender with all the activities listed for that month. For those who don't have day jobs there is always something to do, but for those who have to work there isn't much available.
Bang for the buck My last semester was some of the best courses I've ever taken and I found myself applying more time to my studies because I cared more. The classes were easy but they weren't very hard either. Three out of my five professors seemed to really care for the students and wished to help us succeed.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There aren't any that I know over.
Great for these types of students The school is great for students who are really focused on getting their degree and getting out into the world.
Clubs and Activities The school as many clubs but again, anyone who has a day job will find it difficult to participate.
Greek Life No Comment.
Campus Safety The offsite campuses have decent security. The first few days the security guards check you id's but eventually they know you by face and don't bother with it.

Dorm Life I commuted to school.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Mercy is a very good school with many campuses. The business program is very good, both classroom lectures and online classes. It's a very expensive school, that's the only negative about it.
Tips for prospective students It may get tough paying for all that tuition, but just keep going and finish your bachelors. Make sure you start your savings for graduates sill early.
What to do for fun I attend the 34th street campus in the heart in New York do there are many things to do for fun, from the movie theaters to shopping at Macy's.
Bang for the buck I would not recommend paying for a if it's not necessary because the school is expensive so paying extra for a dorm is not a good idea.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus at Manhattan offers special activities every Tuesday's such as: professional artwork, photographs, and movies.
Clubs and Activities Mercy offers the PACT program. PACT students have individual PACT mentors which help you out with registration, financial advising, and any questions you may have about the school.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Mercy College is a pretty good school. They are fast with the application process and getting you in the system which is a plus. The only bad thing is there aren't much choices for extracurricular activities.
Tips for prospective students Make sure to go on ratemyproffesors.com to see who you're dealing with. Make sure to do everything early so you wont get left behind.
Dorm Life There aren't many dorms in dobbs ferry. Its okay for a college but nothing to boast about. I personally wouldn't dorm on campus.
Food and Dining Prices are way high and the food is okay. It kind of reminds me of a high school cafeteria.
Bang for the buck Mercy College is a pretty good school. They have mentors to guide you along the process. Which makes the school year more manageable. Teachers are like any college there are some you'll love and some you hate. The bronx campus is the newest campus but they're still doing construction on the roads so it can get a little hectic if you're traveling from far. Classes are small and teachers are understanding. Everyone is pretty friendly as well. Overall its been a good experience.
Great for these types of students Great for older students and people come back to school after a long time.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences everyone is down to earth. some professors are pretty laid back. cafeteria food is the worst.
Tips for prospective students check with your advisor before taking up classes that you are not sure of. try to rent your books or try buying it from somewhere else other than the bookstore. communicate with your professors at all times, that's what you paid your money for. don't be scared to ask questions.
Academic Rigor depends on the major you are in. i am an english major, i don't find it difficult because i enjoy reading and writing.
Dorm Life no dorms at the bronx campus.
Food and Dining campus cafe sucks, but there is another cafe around the corner that's way cheaper and the food is fresh.
