I'm an arts major and there's tons of classes that fit my major and for gen eds there's lots of room to fill reqs w/o having to be in dread for an entire semester. Professors are good, I've enjoyed most of mine, even if I haven't had the greatest experience with all, and heard horror stories about others, check ratemyprofessor! Dorms can be iffy, if you end up in Founders, gl, communal bathrooms, flooding, and cockroaches await. If you end up in Hudson, the worst you'll have to deal with is broken elevators and fights with your roommates(dont expect help from mercy, this goes for p much everything). As for food, go grocery shopping at all costs! Unless you're okay with undercooked or nastiness daily. There's a fast food place at Vic Hall, but you're gonna be eating that for a year. And be prepared to walk, you cant have a car, and most doors that would allow easy shortcuts to save time are locked so prepare to take the long route. Other than that, have fun ;)
The professors and education system at Mercy is amazing, atleast for my major. The material is very informative, professors are very helpful and they reply promptly to any query you may have. They are also open to helping you pursue your interest and future goals which I found super sweet. The campus itself is very beautiful and near an ideal location. The readings are very enlightening for me and so far I find the resources at mercy very helpful and the library is very nice too. The on campus activities are a little spaced out but fun nonetheless. The clubs are very engaging and welcoming. I also love all the equipments available on campus. Gym, food and transport services. You get it all when you're a part of Mercy!
I attend Mercy University at Dobbs Ferry, NY and I am due to graduate in the May. I am in the social work program and I absolutely love my professors. My cohort and I have hard conversations that are necessary in order to advance in the social work realm; our professors grant us a safe space to get there. Professors outside of the program have been mostly good!
I am older than most of the students in my program, but they often would say that there is limited night-life party scene. That was actually the one thing most everyone complained about, that there isn't much to do for younger people after class. The campus life is subpar at best. As an older student, it is fine for me.
