Tried to speak to counselor Paul. The responses were short, rude, after 2 minutes of conversing with him felt like this is not the place where I want to study. Horrible experience.

Still remember when I had to drop a course after the first class, due to an emergency unforseen situation. I went to my PACT counselor and filled out paperwork to drop the course. I checked a week later on the portal and it said I was still enrolled. So I checked in with my counselor again who ensured that it was in the process of being removed and that it took some time. I trusted her to do the job while I was dealing at home with an emergency situation. I get my transcript and see a FW as a grade for the course. This meant I was never withdrawn and an F was averaged into my GPA for that semester. Because of that my GPA dropped below a 2.5 even though I received As in all other courses. That was unfair and significantly impacted my overall GPA at graduation. The school said they could do nothing about it. I still graduated in 2017 with a 3.7 GPA but had yet to hold a job over $17 an hour over 4 years later. After graduation I tried to contact the school to ask for help and job resources and network opportunities. They told me to use the job networking website they offer students but there were literally 0 options for careers in my field of study after months of using the portal I contacted the school again for more opportunities and was told "we don't know how else to help you, sorry". I ended up going back to a CUNY for my Master's but I really wish Mercy did more for their students. I'm left with 40k in debt and barley any way to pay it back. I feel terrible

Visited the college for a IELTS testing on a Sunday. The staff is pretty polite and helpful. The place is easily accessible from the Penn Station. May not be the best place for IELTS testing as the Manhattan street noise can be very disturbing, the test rooms and not sound proof.
