Good reviews

As an alum, I am proud to call GMercyU my alma mater. I know you will read some reviews about some academic issues or size. And while it is a smaller school, this University has more built in opportunities for success & growth both personally & academically if you seek to do one thing - understand your definition of Mercy (an embraceful attitude).

I love GMercyU! I was able to get involved and meet some of the most empathetic and caring people. I have learned so much about myself since I came to GMercyU in 2017. 5 words: Look up the Sisters of Mercy - they are a huge part of what we do.

The school has so much to offer and it is all there for the taking. This has been a great university for me and my family. I am grateful for all of the teachers and the coursework. I am a better person because of my whole experience here. I am ready for anything. I have decided to go back for even more! Thank you, GMU!

I transferred here from another school that I thought I loved. This school is so friendly and has so many opportunities I am so glad I came here. Honestly, I wanted out of the school so bad that I just picked here at random, but fell in love with it. I always had a negative outlook at school, but for some reason, Gwynedd just works for me.

It's a nice compact University, set in the Burbs. I'm a nursing student, who has been clinically diagnosed with being Dyslexic. You won't find a better nursing program. Between the excellent professors, extra open lab time, and academic resource center. You're given all the tool you need to do well.

Accelerated BSN. Teachers are horrendous. Pass/Fail they don't care. Exams&tests every time you have class. 150 PP slides&100+pgs per chpt & 14 chpt PER EXAM PER WEEK PER CLASS. Program Needs to be reviewed/revoked. Teachers rude, don't help, cant answer anything. Blame YOU for not studying. Extremely Unorganized. I'm a 4.0 2x bio majorSTAY AWAY

I'm getting ASN here and will not continue for BSN for sure. Awful school, nursing instructors are horrible. Nursing program is on probation - 71% NCLEX passing rate!!!!!!!! Think TWICE before going here!!!!! For that incredibly high money they do not work for sure!!

Their nursing program is not worth money you have to pay! Think twice before applying! Most of the instructors do not care about students and think only about accreditation and money they can get! They blame students to be stupid but it is them who do not know how to teach. Stay away!
Overall 1.8
Nursing professors are not encouraging. Pass or fail - they don't care. On campus lab days are unorganized. Emails are not answered in a timely manner. The campus is outdated and run down. Financial aid is not helpful. Other colleges offer listspostings of scholarships to apply for - not GMU. Tuition is high for what is offered
