Good reviews

Love it here!
Overall 4.7
Some people are not willing to give the school a chance. People leave their doors open and you can make friends so easily that way. The food is definitely better on weekdays than on weekends and can sometimes get repetitive. The school always has activities going on and there is plenty to do off campus, just put yourself out there!

I have only had positive experiences in my three years of attending Misericordia. The faculty and staff are so kind and helpful, it is easy to see they care for their students' success. Majority of people on campus are friendly and welcoming. Campus is in a safe area.

Just plain awful

Mis is probably the worst decision i have ever made. They have business teachers teaching health care classes. The food is so bad that I actually avoid eating in the cafeteria. WIFI? Not here. Boring School with bad professors that think they are doing you a favor by teaching you nothing.

3 of the 5 faculty in my major have left this university. Not sure I can even complete my degree now. The only thing this university seems to be interested in is taking students money.

Do not believe the promises of a job, unless you are a 4.0 all the time. I had a 3.5 and that should be sufficient for most work place, but I have lost out in the interview process to graduates with 4.0 (knowing who the persons are that got job). If getting work after graduation is not important to you, by all means go to Misericordia U.

Dont let anyone fool you about this school, it sucks. Everyday I wake up and hate myself for picking this school. The greedy people that run it dont care at all about you or your opinions and it is impossible to get anything done around here. The weekends suck because everyone goes home. The football team is awful. Go somewhere else.
Overall 1.3
Knowing what I know now I would NOT attend this University. Not adult learner friendly. I feel that the younger student were listened to and helped to understand the material more then the adult students. Guidance for the adult student was at a minimal. I have seen it repeated with other adult students as well.
Overall 1.4
Everyone here seems extremely disgruntled and unhappy. I'm hearing a lot of things about how poorly the administration treats everyone. You can feel it too.
Overall 1.4
This university treats its faculty so poorly. Every other college in the region is better than this one.
Overall 1.4
If I could do it over again, Id go somewhere else
Overall 1.5
If you usually do something on the weekends (You know what I mean), then DO NOT GO HERE. So hard to find plans, most people are worried about studying 247. I left after the first semester so stay away unless you like being in your room looking at your science notes everyday.
