Do not enroll in Mercy College. I'm typing on an ipad so ill have to be brief. I am going to this school in the occupational therapy assistant program. You need a 2 year degree to take the exam to become a certified occupational therapy assistant. That's why I am attending this school and the only reason I don't tell off all my professors and department staff.

This program exists to steal your money. It is a fake school. You learn nothing. How can you learn nothing? I really don't even understand that myself. In one class the teacher would just come in completely unprepared, tell bits and pieces of random stories, let the class go off on wild tangents. In 2 classes at this university I learned absolutely nothing from the class, same ignorance on the subject coming out as going in. I have my BA in Environmental Studies from SUNY Binghamton. The classes at this school are the worst in the entire history of my education starting at kindergarten and up. Never have I seen anything like Mercy "College". FAIL

DO NOT GO TO THIS COLLEGE. I WASTED 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE HERE. Do you know what I missed? I missed being at a REAL college. I did not have a true college experience that every one dreams of. Half of the teachers are complete idiots with tenure so they cannot be touched. The administration is ridiculous. They do not care about helping you because they are just as miserable. Residential life? They are unprofessional losers with power. One of the resident directors has even been seen at parties intoxicated. This school is a complete joke and I am so happy I am out. The student body is made up of 75% losers and the test of the students are normal. By losers I mean potheads and dirty whores who dress up in club wear for school. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. even if you get a full scholarship, pay full price somewhere else. Believe me, you will be happier.

Warning To Veterans:This school is not prepared to handle veteran students. They refuse to abide by V.A. rules and regulations. They have caused me financial difficulty due to their veteran representatives lack of knowledge about filing paperwork promptly and correctly. I have a very difficult time contacting anyone in their veterans department. I am routinely ignored after repeated phone calls and emails. I had to resort to contacting the president and vice president of the school to resolve issues. Only then were their veterans department willing to work with me and they still did not follow the guidelines that the V.A. instructed which made problems worse. Their head veteran representative who is located on their Dobbs Ferry campus is extremely lazy and unreliable. Every time a mistake was made on his part or a different department and I brought it to his attention, I was given numerous excuses and rehearsed rhetoric. Which made it obvious to me that his role was not to help me or other veterans but secure as much G.I. Bill funding from veterans as they possibly can. This school is routinely recruiting veterans and their veterans department is not prepared and does not have the motivation and drive to solve veterans issues with their G.I. Bill. If you are reading this then you are a person that likes to be prepared and make good decisions. I am letting you know now that it will be a bad decision for you to attend this school, you will regret it. I have been in meetings with the leadership of the school telling veterans they should not be concerned with receiving their B.A.H. because their education is more important. Which I totally disagree with if you served honorably you deserve 100% of your G.I. Bill including B.A.H. period! I was very excited to attend this school based on the degree program and I became quickly discouraged and frustrated by this schools lack of substance. Everything is money driven and there is not much real learning going on. I only attended one semester and that was enough for me. Veterans and civilians do not waste your time and money this college is not worth anything of value.
