Caitlin Feldman

"I was so nervous the first day. But all the people, my friends I’ve met, the teachers, were all so welcoming. Even if you’re new or been here for a few years, everyone is so welcoming."

– Caitlin Feldman, Health Science: Pre-Physician's Assistant Studies, '25

Diya John

"One main reason why I picked Mercy was how many credits transferred thanks to my PACT mentor. She helps keep me one course ahead."

– Diya John, Biology: Pre-Med, '26

Anthony Slater

"I just love the environment, going to games, cheering for teams, and getting involved in different events. There's really a community here for everybody, regardless of your major, regardless of what you decide to do."

– Anthony Slater, Transferred from Alliance University, '25

Elena Smith

"I researched a lot of schools. I felt like Mercy fit me best. The environment drew me. Most of my professors have been really helpful. They don't just care about me as a student, they care about me as a person."

– Elena Smith, Social Work, '26

Jack Kowalski

"It’s nice because Mercy has smaller classrooms, so you still get that well-knit class environment. You get to talk to your professor at the end of class. I noticed that my friends in bigger colleges don’t get that kind of one-on-one time."

– Jack Kowalski, Cyber Security, 4+1 Program, '25

Sofia Salgado

"I was so scared to transfer to a school and be the only transfer in my year. I thought I wasn’t going to make friends, but then I realized I was with a big population of transfer students. I felt good about that decision."

– Sofia Salgado, Health Science: Pre-Physician's Assistant Studies, '25
