Loved our tour of this University! It has a Harry Potter feel to some of it. The campus is clean and well manicured. The people here are so nice. The buildings are up to date with some really cool stuff for learning. One floor has a real Harry Potter feel and a quick walk down the stairs and its super high tech like Star wars. We loved this University and everything they offered. The dorms are spacious. Plenty of closet space. Bathrooms are huge.Food in the main cafeteria is delicious. The Church area is gorgeous.

Always a nice visit to a Beautifully landscaped campus.

Outstanding and very interesting article on Dr. Dirkmaat and Prof. Adserias-Garriga of the Forensic Sciences Dept. in The Buffalo News 10/3/21 on the dead do tell tales.

Best place to go for Photos or just taking pictures! Flowers your gardens and all that are amazing!!!

Beautiful campus, friendly people. I dont attend there, but I often take walks there.

Beautiful campus with rich history. Wonderful to visit after a recent snowfall.

Proud to call myself a Mercyhurst grad! I had an incredible experience after transferring to Mercyhurst from Gannon. The Mercyhurst community is like a family and am honored to be a part of it. HURST is always home!

Love the people, love the rich history and most importantly love the education!Recent college grad and am very proud to be. Whether you need a shoulder to lean on or someone to provide a bit of guidance, you can find it all on this campus. There are so many staff members on campus who go out of their way to help ensure students have a memorable experience, too many to mention individually. I am however extremely thankful for the ones who had an influence on me.Shout out to the fantastic res life department, health center and hospitality department.Like any school it has issues that need to be addressed and fixed such as the lack of parking, some of the apartments and a few other things. The only difference is that Mercyhurst strives to make progress in every area it needs to fix. If I could redo the last four years again I wouldn’t change a thing or go to a different school because this was one of the best experiences of my life! Would 100% recommend.

So Im not a student nor have I been inside the University. However I found out some news that really bothers me. The University is forcing the student to get the COVID-19 vaccine. I jus dont think thats right.

Wonderful university. Very pleased our child chose this above all the others.

Misleading on the degrees. My daughter was in the forensics dept and her degree is useless. Now she is attending Maryland so she can get a job. Dont waste your money go somewhere else.

Went here for music therapy for two years before transferring online. Music program and faculty are amazing, students for the most part are bound to be lifetime friends, not a party school by any means. Erie is a nice city and the college is close to everything (mall, downtown, the lake, stores). Im still friends with the people I was friends with here. Dining options are great too!

I am a student at Mercyhurst University. It is a pleasant and beautiful campus.

Beautiful campus beautiful people!

Beautiful campus!

Halls and stairs are directional, masks are required, and there is a daily online check-in to make sure everyone is healthy before going to class. All ready and compliant for an anti- COVID fall semester.

A next- level wonderful Institution

Interesting place to work.

Attending Mercyhurst University has been an exceedingly wonderful experience. Nothing made me happier than getting my little green acceptance box and T-shirt after my visit-- whoever does the marketing is just brilliant! I truly feel like the faculty and staff all have my best interest at heart in regard to my academic and professional careers. Campus feels like home and it’s so easy to make friends and be involved with everything going on!

Youd have better luck teaching a monkey to be bilingual than dealing with financial aid. Or getting a real bill. Or getting straight answers. Or even getting classified as the right program. Ive never been screwed over so many times and in so many different ways by a single organization in my life.

As a sophomore at Mercyhurst, I have been provided with many opportunities to get involved across campus and to excel within my major of study. It is easy to learn the subject matter, as professors are readily available to answer any questions and the small class sizes foster discussion. Mercyhurst has quickly become a second home to me.

Would recommend to a friend. In 20 or so years Ill probably send my child here. Could go on about how amazing it is for hours.

I had an amazing experience at Mercyhurst! As an English major with a dual concentration in creative writing and secondary education, I found the professors to be incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. They were also constantly available for help and support. I didn’t feel like a number or just another student in the English Department. I was part of a learning community, and my opinions and concerns were freely shared and respected by faculty and fellow students alike. I look back on my years at Mercyhurst with tremendous fondness, and in hindsight, I know I made the right choice in pursuing English with such a strong and dedicated group of educators.

While this school is great, and I love being here... there are many issues with this place that arent talked about.One, parking is hell. They sell way more parking passes then there are places to park. And since students are required to live on campus this is a major problem that affects the entire student body, faculty and staff. In the next few years this problem is about to get a lot worse, due to the merge with Northeast coming up.Two, while the food is often great, especially at the Grotto, most of the options are fried or greasy. It is hard to know what exactly is in the food, and athletes often complain that the options are too limited. If you have diet restrictions or allergies there is only one option for you, the Clean Plate with ZERO variety.Three, the health care here is horrid. Yes, the health center and counseling center are free for students BUT when you go there, the help is very limited. They provide you with supplements and nasal spray. Thats it. And then, theres counseling center. They are great at handling homesickness, minor depression, and generalized anxiety. But they advertise that they also address PTSD, major depression, eating disorders and such. However, when you come to the person who is supposed to counsel you on Title IX matters, they tell you its your fault.Also, the campus is extremely inaccessible for physically disabled individuals. The elevators are broken or breaking and there are barely any ramps. They only address two out of the thirteen categories of disability, that being autism and developmentally delayed. In addition to that, when you have a learning disability and are having trouble in classes they suggest you get a tutor and do not enforce adaptive curriculum. There is an ADA violation occurring right now that is not being addressed. Special needs professors have been lobbying for change for a decade and nothing has changed.When you have 504, they provide you with regular resources that the campus already offers, there are no individualized resources for those who require that sort of thing. The campus in general is very ableistic. They do enough to get the label of a special needs inclusive college without actually doing the work.Four, it advertises that it is extremely diverse. The Student union has all these flags representing all the countries international students are from, but you rarely see them around campus. These individuals are the hardest impacted by the insurance issues we have here, as they are often here on a scholarship and on an athletic team and do not have the funds for full coverage. Mercyhurst is below average in ethnic diversity nation wide. Racial diversity is also below average but real kicker here is 93% of professors are white.Five, Mercyhurst is advertised as a liberal arts college but the art departments are extremely neglected. The art department is literally one hallway with two classrooms and one office for professors. The art therapy department has one classroom and one office. The dance department has two studios and no trainer. And then, theres the music department. You cannot join the music department if you are physically handicapped because there is no way for you to get downstairs. And every time there is a performance, you have to carry everything up three flights of stairs to the PAC.Over all, while Mercyhurst is an amazing school that I am proud to attend, it has several major problems that NEED to be addressed. Its amazing at projecting a great image and at doing everything to have good reputation. We have two events every weekend, and public speakers and performers from around the world. The campus is beautiful when you go through the front gates. The curriculum is great for neurotypical students, and discrimination of LGBTQ individuals is almost nonexistent. Money management is also horrible, they spend everything on comforts and for their image rather than necessities.

Avoid the English DepartmentThey will entice you with one hand, and then bat you down with the other. At the end of lessons, they will forfeit all self-esteem and say they, Really tried... like saddened defeated mopes. It is pitiful when this happens so often.All of them teach exactly the same way and blame students for not getting interested. Even if you do work hard and participate, they will treat you like a teachers pet and be reluctant with you, not even caring about the effort or the answers you put forth. They are more concerned with themselves and why it cant be fun for everyone.There are 3 married couples out of the 8 total faculty in the department, and it makes all of their behaviors just weird. Ive often wondered if there is any shred of professionalism about them, or if work is just for personal upheaval and entertainment in their private lives. Nothing gets done about struggling students constructively.If you are in the department, prepare to be labeled by them. They will know who you are, and who you will be, without even getting to know you first. In a nutshell: Unhelpful, tiring, trifling, hackneyed, botched, and passive aggressive -- All of them. Gossip runs rampant, even new faculty will know you before you can make a first impression on them. It is a maddening department to say the least. It feels like racism, sexism, and duplicity all put together as one being in this major.

Beautiful campus. Very happy with the experience my niece had. We look forward to our next visit.

Mercyhurst University is a great college. There are so many opportunities to get involved and a plethora of academic options as well. There are majors ranging from business to archaeology to dance. Also, they are welcome of anyone and everyone, and thats whats most important to me.

Great experience...The campus is breath taking, the city of Erie is welcoming and the Educational experience of a small Catholic University cant be beat! Not to mention the lifelong friends that you will make there are pretty amazing!! Go Lakers!!

Ever since I stepped foot on campus I knew it was the place for me! Ive loved every moment hear and I couldnt imagine myself anywhere else.

Everyone is super friendly! The community truly makes campus feel like home!

Loved the Mercyhurst experience! Small class sizes and I adore the psychology department and its professors. It gets hella cole in the winter and a little crazy around St. Patricks Day due to the schools Irish heritage but overall an awesome school to attend!

Could not be any more pleased. Wonderful university with a strong sense of community.

Very beautiful and comfortable

Boring. Small. No college vibe. When I visited I felt like Mercyhurst just doesnt have the college vibe that evey other college has. It also seemed very boring. I looked like there wasnt anywhere around campus to go and have fun and there was nothing on campus. Also extremely Pricey for the size.

Mercyhurst University reminded me of Chipotle; It looks nice and it satisfies you in the end, but you could probably settle for Taco Bell for half the cost.

Worst experienced eve!! Florida parents DO NOT send your kids over there. You’ll get screwed!! 😡

Bad experience! A history advisor who didnt have time to advise, an internship that my daughter had to pay for outside of tuition and having to pay for an additional semester because of a required class that only takes place every other year! Wish she would have gone to another school and I let everyone I know, NOT to go to Mercyhurst Erie. There is no Mercy @ this school!!!!!

Zero college vibe. Barely any nightlife. Nothing to do in the area. Terrible dorms.

Fantastic School, Fantastic Programs, Fantastic Faculty!!!Overall I had a great expierence here

Great place

Beautiful campus

They have professors there who preach (while off topic) for making marijuana legal during class time, or faintly mention that they are looking to buy a bag for desperate laughs, and sometimes tell stories of how they like(d) to partake.When a student is struggling with addiction, and the madness caused by this drug, they will do nothing to help them, and overlook it as if it were not a real problem in the first place. They support legalization and because of this, fail as mentors, advisors, and professors.Seeking marijuana to maintain a sanity with their choice of career path, they are more like perpetual stoner students, whose lifestyle is actually employed here to teach the young adults. Although, they neglect a large part of their responsibility, which they fail to see (being stoners) that not all people can handle such drugs. If the Sisters of Mercy really knew what was going on, they would be ashamed. So much harm in negligence, and other classic behaviors of an addicted, mad teaching body.I am appalled by what I witnessed in this Private Catholic institution.

Very welcoming atmosphere, with amazing professors and opportunities

Small, but nicely kept campus.

Its beautiful!

Fun college...

Awesome place!

Local university

A great campus with wonderful fauclty!
