"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
