Mount Mercy is a great university. The staff and students are friendly. The professors really care about your success and do everything they can to make sure you are successful. There are so many resources available to students like ACE (Academic Center for Excellence), the Mustang Market, and office hours with professors. By utilizing these things, I was able to make it through my freshman year of college.
Mount mercy is the best! I have gained a lot of useful information that I will be able to apply to my career going forward from graduation. It’s also nice that they have programs for working adults to make it easier to get a higher education while still working full time.
Love the small school setting. It is easier to get to know people . Quiet campus , perfect for studies. Ace center is awesome if you need help with classes. There are lots of organizations you can get involved with. Chicken nuggets and items from the grill cafe are decent . Generous scholarships and work study programs for academics and athletes. Professors are chill and helpful. There are lots of restaurants and shopping (small mall)about 10 minutes away, so you can get just about anything you need. Safe atmosphere. Tunnels are the best in winter , you don’t have to walk outside at all to get to classes. Known as “The Hill” , the actual hills are a bit of a challenge but there are ways around them . So far very pleased. Will start sophomore year soon.
