Mercyhurst is unique because of the small class sizes and the student to professor ratio. I also love Merchurst because it is close to home and has one of the best fashion merchandising programs around.

The classes range from religion, to world cultures, to basic maths and sciences. The students are friendly and easy to get along with.
