The business department is terrible. They rant and rave about it, but you'll soon realize 90% of the classes you take are nonsensical intro classes where you learn nothing. Do not expect to go to Iona for business and learn anything useful for a career. Now, most expensive private Colleges have premium dormitories. They have 1 building built during this century that they like to show off. The vast majority of their housing is decades old, falling apart, dirty, dingy, and dusty. It's horrendously overpriced. Far more expensive than an apartment and you lose all your rights living on campus subjected to unlawful raids/inspections. The food on campus sucks. They force you to buy a campus meal plan and for what you pay it should be far better. There's a reason they force you to buy the meal plan and it's not "to foster an on-campus community." It's a money grab plain and simple. The campus itself is tiny with very little to offer. The surrounding neighborhood is full of crime with a history of murders at the local high school right next to campus. All in all--tuition should be $10,000/year and dorms $5,000. You're splitting a tiny room 5-10 ways no apartment costs that much...it's a scam! You are paying for a bloated administration that takes exorbitant salaries and accomplishes very little. You're not paying for a high-quality private education. All you get is a piece of paper and 4 years living in a tin can. Don't waste your time or your money.

My sophomore year I was in a room with bad heat and no insulation in a place where the snow got so bad they had to shut the college down for a few days! When my roommates boyfriend sent me emails telling me to kill myself, I reported it to my RA who told me to try and suck it up as she was leaving for Study abroad next semester. When I was rush to the hospital with what turned out to be kidney stones, campus safety first told me it was just food poisoning because they had had 3 cases that week. Never mind that the head of the French department spoke French as a THIRD Language and the heads of the theater department had the lowest ratings on Rate my Professor. I am sad that this place is clearly a commuter college, disguised to look like a traditional school.

When I applied to Saint Peter's University I overlooked the Englewood Cliffs campus because I…read moreassumed it was far and probably did not have as many amenities as the JC campus does. With my final semester coming up for before I completed my Masters I was forced to take my last two classes at the Englewood Cliffs campus. Upon arriving to campus I was blown away by what it actually was. If you're a working adult who is continuing their education in the evening I'm sure you're looking for a school where everything is located on one floor. A place where if you need to see the advisor, dean, library, student lounge, and classroom are all within 5ft of each other. SPU is the place to go but only at the Englewood Cliffs campus. On one floor is all of these and much more. When I come to class a few minutes early I am able to heat up my dinner with the awesome microwave the student lounge provides, grab some snacks from the vending machine, or make a cup of coffee from the Keurig machine! Let's not forget about the most important part. The parking! This campus provides a parking lot that does not need a permit. The parking lot is not located across the campus but instead right outside the building where all of your classes are. I highly recommend attending the Englewood Cliffs campus if you are in any program. It is worth the drive and extremely convenient for the students.

Mercy College literally saved my life. When I started there in 2006, I was a confused 18 year old…read morehigh school dropout. When I graduated in 2010, I was on my way to grad school and was actually an adult. I agree that the school can be disorganized--but I went to Hunter College for grad school and they were worse. Furthermore, we're adults (or supposed to be) if we're in college, so we can fight the system to get what we need. I had some professors who didn't care--but I had that in one of the top ranked graduate programs in the country too. I also had some AMAZING professors; James Towey and Ori Shinar come to mind. Furthermore, I was paying $9000 a semester (heavily subsidized by scholarships) and never had a class more than 25 students. My friends who were paying $40,000 a year often never had classes UNDER 100 students. Perhaps what differentiated me from my classmates, and people who had a negative experience, is that I jumped in head first. I went to every class. I did my homework. I paid attention and didn't play on the internet the entire class. I worked my ass off, and stayed up many MANY late nights. I also graduated with a 3.97 GPA. What I saw a lot of at Mercy was students who wanted to graduate from college without doing any work. With some professors at the school, it was actually possible--but don't complain when you don't learn if you won't work for it. I literally had a classmate say that she should be able to get an A in an upper level psychology course by just showing up to class, not studying, and never doing the readings. That's not how it worked. With that said, I did spend one year in the dorms and wouldn't wish that on anyone who is as introverted as I am. It's a small school, and there were only 200 students in the dorms the year I lived there; everyone knew EVERYONE, and everyone's business, at that. It was unpleasant, difficult to make friends, and a bit creepy to be living in a former convent. I have heard that they have remodeled however, so that may have changed.

Overall it may be a commuter type college [though they act like it isnt] but when half the kids dont live on campus bc A, they dont want to, and B there isnt enough room....its a commuter school yo. BUT my sister is doing so very well and they give out scholarships to those who are deserving along with recognize achedmic excellence with awards and entrance to scholarly fraternaties. But seriously, they need to lighten up on bed checks and security. They are ADULTS now, they don't need big brother lurking around to see if they are in their rooms by 10pm.

In addition to an average education, they "nickel and dime" you to death and constantly send small bills for everything, like graduating-Because 4 years of tuition just isn't enough. (which rises yearly) Prepare to graduate with tons of debt and a mediocre degree. It is incredibly hard to find a job upon graduating from this college, as it is so small and unheard of, but in all fairness, that may not be something that only happens with STAC. STAC is also not "known" as a great school-as I found out looking for jobs. The education is average at best, and many of the teachers never seem to stay more than a semester, as the longest teacher at the school has only been there 5 years. (2nd place is 3 semesters) It seems that the teachers do not really care, although this could be hit and miss depending on classes. While I commuted (and if you do attend, I would suggest you do as well) the dorming situation is horrible. There are constant twice a night check ups, and activities are not allowed in any of the courtyards. Any violation of these "rules" will end with you getting written up. The teachers claim they are" trying" to fix this, but it has been getting worse and worse. It has become a jail full of kids that are miserable as they have to sit in their room and await check ups all day. Stopping drugs and alcohol is a good thing, not allowing us to use the grills on campus and the grass fields between the dorms is absurd. Especially when you are paying for them. We are also not allowed to use that new field without being on one of the sports teams. Yes you just paid for a new facility that you are not allowed to use if you don't play sports. I regret attending this school, and I did not even have to endure the worst of it. I would not recommend this school to anybody, they have a lot of work to do to try to fix their image before a degree from them will once again mean anything.

Incorporating a cafeteria that on campus residents and commuters could use would be a great benefit.
