Class sizes are small and the professors are very supportive and helpful. You are not a number at Dominican, you are a beloved student. The school is close enough to the city for day trips and is a nice area of New York State. 10/10 recommend Dominican University

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.

As a master's level alumna of the College of New Rochelle and a former student in Mercy…read moreUniversity's Mental Health Counseling program (2015-2018), I feel it is important to share my experience for prospective students. Re-entering the program to complete my degree was made unnecessarily difficult. Initially, I was told I would need just two classes and to repeat my internship. Two months later, however, I was informed that I would be required to retake the entire program. While I was even willing to consider that, the university would not accept a professional recommendation from one of my former professors--who now actually works at Mercy. That speaks volumes about the trust the university places in its own faculty. Another significant concern: CACREP accreditation. Mercy has been "in the process" of pursuing CACREP accreditation since I first enrolled back in 2015. Nearly ten years later, the program is still not accredited. This is a major red flag, particularly for students seeking licensure and employment opportunities that often require graduating from a CACREP-accredited program. Bottom line: Save yourself the frustration. There are many other universities--both local and online--that are already CACREP-accredited and far more supportive of returning master's students.
