University of Detroit Mercy - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" Do not go to this school. They will not help you in any meaningful way, if your payment for tuition doesn't go through, they won't tell you and charge you interest until you try and register for the next year's classes (they charge $200 CND/week in interest). The real cafeteria is all processed food, but you need a meal plan to get in there and there's security waiting to check at the entrance. For everyone else, you have two choices: subway or a small grill. 3 of my professors had NO field experience and only undergrad degrees. 1 of my professors showed up only 35 times the entire semester (I counted). When it came time to teach us how to use Revit, none of the profs knew how which lead us to learning it ourselves. One of my classmates actually had to help my prof with the program. The parking lot is grossly undersized. You have to share the same parking lot as residence AND staff. It is disgustingly small. The only positive thing about the school was that the whole campus is gated.... except there are several unguarded and doorless entrances. The neighborhood that the campus is located in is less than safe. In my second year, a toddler was shot and killed at the gas station next to the campus because two people decided to have a gun fight. The burger king across the street has bullet proof glass and one of those revolving door things for the food inside the actual restaurant and the drive through window. I was told by one of the profs that if I'm ever leaving the campus at night, treat every red light like a stop sign because if you're stopped for too long, someone will purposely run into your car so they can rob you. Which actually happened to a couple students. The library is nice but none of the books are organized on the shelves. Instead the books are organized only by topic. Also, religion studies is a mandatory class. Don't waste your money on this school. "
