University of Detroit Mercy Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

Rachel

The worst thing about the University of Detroit Mercy would have to be the location of the school. It is located in one of the worst places in Detroit. The area surrounding the school is not safe to be in alone or to be at night. The University is fenced in so it is a safe place to be but anytime you leave campus you better lock the doors to your car because you never know what can happen.

The food

The worst thing at my school would be the community it is surrounded by. The McNichols Campus is gorgeous but as soon as you step outside the gate out of the university you see burn down houses, trash on the ground and homeless people.

Annie

The food! The majority of our friends get upset stomach when we eat at the dining centers, but there are no alternatives apart from a Subway station.

Brandon

The curriculum is extremely hard . They make it that way so that you get only students who really want to succeed and be the best.

Nina

UDM is known for their nursing, pre-med, and pre-dental programs so other programs are very small and under funded. I am in the communications program and I feel it could be better funded and broader.

Rana

It is a bit out of date and dull looking

Erin

There isnt much i dont like about my school

Alexandra

The school is tiny and the social life is almost non-existent. With the huge work load sometimes social events are a way to relax and we do not really have anything entertaining at U of D.

Jonathan

The worst thing about the University of Detroit Mercy is its location. Situated on 6 Mile and Livernois, the university boasts an urban location that is sadly summed up as a few worn down buildings and vacant streets. The night brings a sense of unease and the students often do not leave the encompassing gated zone after dark. Restaurants and entertainment venues are almost non-existant if one's desires are a sanitary and safe environment within 10 minutes distance. Coffee shops and other great study locations are nowhere to be found unless you venture 15 minutes away by car.

Theresa

The worst thing about this school is that it is fenced in, separated from the surrounding urban community. The campus is isolated from everything.

JOANN

The cost to attend. I feel that it is just terrible how expensive a great education cost. It is very essential for success in life. However, is not readily available for people of all walks of life.

Maxwell

The worst thing about my school is the surrounding area. The crime rate and poverty level is high, and I have often been concerned about my own safety when traverling off campus.

Becky

It is a private school and even with financial aid the price is extreamly expensive
