University of Detroit Mercy Top Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is a bit out of date and dull looking

There isnt much i dont like about my school

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.

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.
