If you had so-so preparation in High School and you want to skate through college, you can still survive at Dominican. But if you want to be the best you can be, the professors want that for you too, and will go to extraordinary lengths to help you succeed. The professors I've had are really good. Knowledgeable, of course. Likeable, isn't that a nice surprise! Show them that you are prepare to work hard, and they will nurture you like there's no tomorrow.

But then again I went to a school with over 10,000 ppl so I suppose anything would look small compared to a big SUNY. Overall it may be a commuter type college [though they act like it isnt] but when half the kids dont live on campus bc A, they dont want to, and B there isnt enough room....its a commuter school yo. BUT my sister is doing so very well and they give out scholarships to those who are deserving along with recognize achedmic excellence with awards and entrance to scholarly fraternaties. But seriously, they need to lighten up on bed checks and security. They are ADULTS now, they don't need big brother lurking around to see if they are in their rooms by 10pm. Thats not what college and tution is for. I think the students have earned freedom now. jeeeez.

I just graduated from this college last year, I felt that it was highly overpriced and did not…read moreoffer much. In addition to an average education, they "nickel and dime" you to death and constantly send small bills for everything, like graduating-Because 4 years of tuition just isn't enough. (which rises yearly) Prepare to graduate with tons of debt and a mediocre degree. It is incredibly hard to find a job upon graduating from this college, as it is so small and unheard of, but in all fairness, that may not be something that only happens with STAC. STAC is also not "known" as a great school-as I found out looking for jobs. The education is average at best, and many of the teachers never seem to stay more than a semester, as the longest teacher at the school has only been there 5 years. (2nd place is 3 semesters) It seems that the teachers do not really care, although this could be hit and miss depending on classes. While I commuted (and if you do attend, I would suggest you do as well) the dorming situation is horrible. There are constant twice a night check ups, and activities are not allowed in any of the courtyards. Any violation of these "rules" will end with you getting written up. The teachers claim they are" trying" to fix this, but it has been getting worse and worse. It has become a jail full of kids that are miserable as they have to sit in their room and await check ups all day. Stopping drugs and alcohol is a good thing, not allowing us to use the grills on campus and the grass fields between the dorms is absurd. Especially when you are paying for them. We are also not allowed to use that new field without being on one of the sports teams. Yes you just paid for a new facility that you are not allowed to use if you don't play sports. I regret attending this school, and I did not even have to endure the worst of it. I would not recommend this school to anybody, they have a lot of work to do to try to fix their image before a degree from them will once again mean anything.

After their rejection, I received a call saying I owed them 1,000.00 and that I was never accepted to the College! Yeah, I don't think so.

Mercy College literally saved my life. When I started there in 2006, I was a confused 18 year old…read morehigh school dropout. When I graduated in 2010, I was on my way to grad school and was actually an adult. I agree that the school can be disorganized--but I went to Hunter College for grad school and they were worse. Furthermore, we're adults (or supposed to be) if we're in college, so we can fight the system to get what we need. I had some professors who didn't care--but I had that in one of the top ranked graduate programs in the country too. I also had some AMAZING professors; James Towey and Ori Shinar come to mind. Furthermore, I was paying $9000 a semester (heavily subsidized by scholarships) and never had a class more than 25 students. My friends who were paying $40,000 a year often never had classes UNDER 100 students. Perhaps what differentiated me from my classmates, and people who had a negative experience, is that I jumped in head first. I went to every class. I did my homework. I paid attention and didn't play on the internet the entire class. I worked my ass off, and stayed up many MANY late nights. I also graduated with a 3.97 GPA. What I saw a lot of at Mercy was students who wanted to graduate from college without doing any work. With some professors at the school, it was actually possible--but don't complain when you don't learn if you won't work for it. I literally had a classmate say that she should be able to get an A in an upper level psychology course by just showing up to class, not studying, and never doing the readings. That's not how it worked. With that said, I did spend one year in the dorms and wouldn't wish that on anyone who is as introverted as I am. It's a small school, and there were only 200 students in the dorms the year I lived there; everyone knew EVERYONE, and everyone's business, at that. It was unpleasant, difficult to make friends, and a bit creepy to be living in a former convent. I have heard that they have remodeled however, so that may have changed.
