Categories Comments Great for these types of students If you are a student who is ready for college but would still like the small class size, UDM is a great choice. You will never find yourself sitting in a freshman biology class with 500 other students. The average class size is about 20 students, so you can ask questions and interact with your teacher as much as you would like. Also, if you would like to live in the dorm rooms but do not want to be stuck on campus all the time, UDM would be good for you because all students living on campus are allowed to have a car parked on campus at all times.
Tips for prospective students I would recommend prospective students to register for their classes as soon as possible, because they fill up very fast since it is such a small school with limited classes and small class sizes. Also, look into their accelerated programs, such as the Physician's Assistant 5-year program, because UDM offers some great programs that can actually ensure your spot in a graduate program while still in undergraduate school.
Bang for the buck The University of Detroit Mercy offers a great education but has a high tuition, about $15,000 per term for full time students. However, they offer generous scholarships that make it very affordable. A chart of some scholarships offered can be found at: http://www.udmercy.edu/apply/financial_aid/scholarships/pdf/Scholarships_and_Financial_Aid.pdf I think that the small classes and experienced teachers really make UDM worth its price, especially considering how much of one's tuition can be covered by scholarships. At UDM, freshman are often taught by very experienced teachers, where at larger schools freshman may only see brand new teachers or a teaching assistant.
Am enjoying being here I feel as though UDM is a great school and that I am receiving a great education, but I didn't enjoy the campus life as much as I had hoped for. Since UDM is a large commuter school, there are not many students on campus during the weekends. Also, there is not the excitement of going to the big football games (UDM doesn't have a football team) or being in the middle of a college town, as with many larger schools such as Ann Arbor or East Lansing.
Am learning a lot The classes that I have been enrolled in have been challenging, yet reasonable. I feel as though I am learning a lot of material very thoroughly, but I am able to keep up with it. The small class size helps students learn more especially in laboratory classes because the teacher can help each student individually, answer questions and offer more hands-on experience.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students I do not know much about any of the other programs out there, but if you are a student looking to go into nursing I highly recommend the University of Detroit Mercy, whether you take classes in Grand Rapids on Aquinas campus or in Detroit it really doesn't matter, the program is great and you get to not only learn in class but you get to go out and learn things in the hospital setting. The hands on part of this program helps to create great nurses who are ready to face the real world after graduation.
Tips for prospective students The Nursing program is intense, but if you stay focused and are driven you will go far, the professors are your friends, go to them with all questions and concerns. Class participation is key and the professors love to see you get into what they are teaching. The more you interact in class the better they know you and the more willing they are to help you. Don't be afraid to ask for help they want to see you succeed they don't want to see you struggle.
Bang for the buck This School is rather expensive school however the classes are so not very big so the Professors get to know you one on one. You develop strong relationships with them, and they are always there to help you. They want their students to be well educated so they make the program difficult but they do their best to help the students succeed both in and out of class. The comfort and the relationships that you get to have with the professors is amazing they get to know you on a personal level and I enjoy that.
Am enjoying being here I love being apart of this program both the staff and the student body are amazing they truly dedicate their time to serving you as an individual student and helping you succeed. The people that attend this college are always extending a hand to help. All the students in the nursing program work together and encourage one another, which is extremely helpful when its hard to be motivated to do work
Am learning a lot The University of Detroit Mercy is a wonderful school to be apart of. I am a Student who is apart of the University of Detroit Mercy's nursing program however I live and attend classes on Aquinas campus. The professors who teach are amazing they relate what we are learning directly to our future roles as a nurse, they encourage us and do their best to help us learn to the best of our ability.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck When i applied here, i had no idea that i would get a scholarship, let alone a scholarship for more than $10,000! although the tuition is high, many scholarships will be awarded to you, and in the end make school much more reasonable than any public university!
Will enjoy being here The campus is beautiful and there seems to be a lot of activity with the campus being so small
Will learn a lot I am very excited to begin classes this fall! I know by looking at other reviews as well as listening in on lectures, i know that i will learn a lot while studying here!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students I will guarantee that this is a great school you should consider attending; I can promise you that!
Tips for prospective students Concerning financial aid, I would suggest that you have a really great transcript coming out of high school, seeing as U of D-Mercy gives out scholarships based on your cumulative GPA. Also, if there is anything you do, ALWAYS remain positive because there will come times when you seem overwhelmed. But I've learned from personal experience that everything is going to be alright. Always strive for greatness and excellence! You will only go as far as you, yourself are willing to go. Finally, ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF because whether you believe it or not, YOU CAN DO IT!
Bang for the buck U of D-Mercy has a very high tuition, but I believe that paying the tuition is worth it. As an Architecture major, going into the world graduating with an accredited Master's degree in five years; I definitely wouldn't mind paying the tuition. I suppose it depends on what you're majoring/ minoring in. But I believe that I can speak on the behalf of every college and school at U of D in saying that paying the tuition and graduating from here it's definitely something I would recommend doing...!
Am enjoying being here I really do enjoy being here. The school staff is very friendly, generous, and caring. They treat you with the utmost respect; making sure that you know that you are important to them and also as a person. I have a disability and even though I have some physical limitations, everyone that I encounter treats me with kindness and respect, instead of belittling me; as if I don't belong. And, that really means a lot to me. Lastly, what I really like most about this school is the campus! The campus is so beautiful, you don't have to do too much walking, and I feel very comfortable and safe...!
Am learning a lot I must say that I couldn't have asked for a more challenging curriculum! As a transfer student, I have to admit the things that I've learned here completely blows the college that I previously attended 'out of the water'. I am an Architecture major and in everyone of my designs and studio classes, I have the chance to always work hands-on. My professors usually point out two or three things that I did right on my project, but then they'll point out ten things that I did wrong. But you can't take it personal because that's how you grow and learn from your mistakes. Failure is not an option, so they force you out of your comfort zone and push you into your full potential. There isn't a moment that goes by when you aren't learning something. Every experience that I have had here was a learning experience, whether you're learning about your classmates, your teachers, your environment, or even the class subject. And because of U of D-Mercy, I can truly say that you really will learn something new every day!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Public safety can always be found around campus. They can be seen driving around and are positioned at the entrance gates.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The various fraternities and sororities on campus periodically paint the rock. It usually looks very pretty and is always nicely done!
What to do for fun There is a couple places to go for fun. The basement of the freshman dorm has a big screen TV and pool tables. There is also the fitness center being built for students to work out. The basement of the Student Union has ping-pong tables, TVs, and pool tables for students to enjoy. On weekends, the fraternity brothers host parties open to all students. The students also have the option of joining one of the fraternities or sororities on campus.
Food and Dining There are a couple options on campus for food. We recently opened a Subway, which many students enjoy. We also have two dining areas. One dining place is buffet style with a salad bar and other options. The other dining area is a made-when-ordered style place. Here there are also many options for a variety of food choices. We also opened a new gas station style store with snacks on the first floor of Shiple.
Dorm Life The dorms are not the prettiest of all the ones I have seen, but they have the necessities: a desk and a bed. There is also plenty of space to bring in other items such as a fridge, microwave, game console, and TV. The dorms are what you make of them. They provide you an opportunity to meet new people and make great friends.
Academic Rigor The courses at UDM are challenging, but very relevant to the major of each student. The professors are also more then willing to help students with the work assigned. So while the classes are tough, there are many places to receive help.
Tips for prospective students Prospective students should apply for outside scholarships because, even though the university is very generous, it is expensive. Also, make sure to plan a tour around campus in the spring to see the true beauty of the campus.
In three sentences UDM has a beautiful campus and a very helpful staff. Professors work with students and do everything in their power to make sure each student succeeds. UDM is small, but there is a place for everyone to fit in here.

Tips for prospective students Make your grades are good and that you have a good ACT/SAT score. So study, study, study!!!
Bang for the buck This school is a little on the expensive side; however, if you attain good grades and good scores on the ACT/ SAT test and apply for a lot of scholarships you can easily be able to afford this school.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy being here because the campus is beautiful and the school is small so I do not have to worry about feeling too overwhelmed.

I am definitely ready to explore the world and I think this is the one university that will help me.

Categories Comments Campus Safety They are very strict on where you park. If you dont have a sticker or parked in the wrong parking lot you WILL get a ticket even if there for only 5 mins. however, they also will walk you back to car or dorm if you have a night class.
Greek Life What is that?
Clubs and Activities There is an array of clubs you can join. Since its a Catholic college there are alot of religous life clubs. I am a part of nursing clubs also
Great for these types of students Dedicated, nursing, love small schools, the schools campus is in the middle of the woods it is beautiful
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The Moose is the campus coffee shop, its fun to hang out and do homework there. Its also a place you can relax.

Food and Dining Wege, the dining cafateria is average. Some days the food is better than others.
Dorm Life I commute to school but from what I hear and other activities I have attended at night with friends, the dorms are very friendly and fun
Academic Rigor As any nursing program, the criculum is challenging
Tips for prospective students If youre going in the nursing program, make sure you understand the program entirely. Ask someone knowledgeable about it. Once you begin, get involved so you can meet people.
In three sentences Detroit Mercy's nursing program at Aquinas is very unorganized. There is a lack of communication between those in Detroit and those in Grand Rapids. Not to mention annoying and confusing for us students trying to register for classes, pay fees and such

Bang for the buck You get out of the school what you put into it. UDM is an expensive school so I would advise you to get the most out of it as you can.
What to do for fun The dorms always have fun things going on. You can join an organization and go to those events. But making friends and hanging with them around campus is allot of fun.
Food and Dining We got a subways last year
Academic Rigor The classes are hard but they are preparing you for the real world and the teachers are always willing to help.
Tips for prospective students Get involved in student life. Student Government Association is a great way to meet people who have been successful in the field they are going into. Living on campus is also really nice. The dorm staff plan alot of things for residents to do once classes are out.
In three sentences They really want great things for you. But if your not willing to help yourself they aren't going to force you. So make UDM the best college experience you can, I know I am.

What to do for fun On the AQ campus there are many different activities and student groups, as well as a cafe, and the campus is within walking distance of downtown Grand Rapids and a farmers market.

Dorm Life I commute, so I can't speak to the dorm experience.
Academic Rigor This is a very academically challenging school, and the programs I'm enrolled in are wonderfully taught, although seeing the online classes is sometimes difficult.
Tips for prospective students If you're going to be at an off-shoot of the school, make sure to talk with your advisors and check Titan Connect often for any information that may be pertinent to your account.
In three sentences I attend UDM's off-branch at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, and although I am not on UDM's campus, I do deal with them on a regular basis. Overall, I find that being on an off shoot can be difficult. However, the education I'm receiving has been wonderful.

Great for these types of students Wanting a small class size education as well as a small campus? UDM is the place for you
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I like studying by the fountain in the warm Fall sun. Catching up with a friend in the Kassab Mall is also nice too in the warm weather! Very relaxing. The new fitness center is a new place to go hang out and exercise with friends - even if you're a commuter you have access to the gym's facilities!
Bang for the buck The school gets costly - but much worth the small class size!
What to do for fun UDM is a mile or two away from Woodward AVE, Downtown Detroit, Royal Oak and Ferndale. These cities offer so much to do for college students to do on their free time. Experiencing different restaurants down Woodward Ave, in Greek town, or Mexican town or roaming in the downtown feel of Royal Oak and Ferndale for some thrift-shop finds or just because! Concerts and sporting events are always occurring in Downtown Detroit which is always fun, just to go to on the weekends!
Food and Dining Food on campus is a plus but UDM is surrounded by Woodward, Downtown, Royal Oak and Ferndale which offer many wide varieties of delcious restaraunts.
Dorm Life Residing in the urban side of Detroit, students get a feel for the urban setting of Detroit. UDM offers many opportunities to grow into the city and know what it's really like and to get accustomed to how beautiful the city really is, even after the hard economic times. UDM being in the epicenter of the Joe Lewis and Comerica Park, there is so much pride in the city when it comes to Hockey and Baseball games.
Tips for prospective students UDM is a great school if you want to have a focused education with the right set of instructors. With great career and interning opportunities, UDM offers much guidance and to their students as well as well-known programs that are ranked at a high level.
In three sentences University of Detroit Mercy is a small college that is career focused. With small class sizes, students are able to focus better and have one-on-one time with instructors. A wide range of programs and colleges offers students better opportunities and ranks top notch for wanting better things for students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety DPS is in charge of campus security but they don't really do a good job...it's up to the students mostly to stay safe and be smart. There are some incidents but not nearly as many as other comparable university campuses in Michigan.
Greek Life There are 3 different sororities and 3 different fraternities.
Clubs and Activities Lots of clubs and organizations to join!
Great for these types of students Dedicated, hardworking students that know exactly what they want out of their education.
Bang for the buck It is an expensive school because it is private and Catholic. But they usually give large scholarships to students with high high school GPAs and ACT/SAT scores. Make sure to fill out a FAFSA as well. This school has lots of programs and that is what attracts most of the students.
What to do for fun Go out to Royal Oak and Ferndale and there are lots of places to go eat and have fun! If you don't have a car then you can always hang out with friends in the dorms or go to frat parties ;)
Food and Dining The food is not great. They did put in a Subway now and they are talking about putting in a Starbucks but other than that, the campus food is terrible.
Dorm Life It depends on how social you are. You can choose to join greek fraternity's or sorority's, service organizations, etc. There is a lot to do on campus if you seek it out. If you have friends that also live on campus and you have a car, there are things to do with friends. Commuting usually has a negative effect on social life with people from the same school.
Academic Rigor It is a difficult school and the classes are rigorous but that is what is needed if you plan on attending and exceeding in a graduate school after undergrad. Almost all the teachers have PhD's and high degrees in their fields. Classes are not taught by TA's.
Tips for prospective students Be safe on campus! It is Detroit, but if you are smart about your choices you will be fine. Don't walk around at late hours by yourself, don't text while walking around (be alert), don't leave valuable items in plain site in your car, don't leave your belongings attended, etc. Be smart!
In three sentences Although it is located in Detroit, MI the campus buildings are nice, they have all the amenities expected on any college campus, and there are a lot of students. This year they even build a new fitness center available for free to all students. It's a good school and a good campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I saw that the campus was gated off, so I feel like I will be safe here.
Bang for the buck I was already offered a large scholarship, which will help a lot!
Food and Dining Has food on campus, but there are also restaurants around.
Dorm Life I'm not planning on staying at school, but I have heard that the dorms are nice.
Academic Rigor I expect my freshman year to be rigorous. College is different than high school.
Tips for prospective students I am glad that I was accepted here, because I want to be a nurse and didn't want to go to a community college.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The campus is definitely not that big, there are a few things to do, but not that many. We are definitely not a party school, I do not think there is a party every night like some other schools do.
Food and Dining There are not many choices to choose from, when eating at the school. The food is not absolutely horrible, but it could definitely improve. There is not much to eat, when you are a vegetarian.
Dorm Life Freshmen year, the dorms are not that good. Upper class man has the best dorms, because the rooms are bigger and one of the dorms have an oven where you can cook.
Academic Rigor They are really strong on academics. Advisors/counselors keep check of your GPA, especially if your on an academic scholarship. Although, the school offers many different opportunities for students to get help. There is plenty of tutoring.
Tips for prospective students There are particular programs that definitely takes you on a great path to success. The school has a great dental, nursing, medicine, engineering, and more.
In three sentences It has a lot of great programs in the medical field. The school prepares you, for the field you want to go in. It is quite diverse environment at the school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Although there is 24/7 public safety officers, break-ins to cars are known to happen. There were multiple times I, personally, felt threatened on or just outside campus. It is important to be aware of surroundings on and around campus.
Greek Life Greek Life is one of the best aspects of this campus. I took the opportunity to join and then become president of one of the organizations. I learned a lot about budgeting time and money, working with others, making tough decisions for the good of the organization and working with leadership of campus.
Clubs and Activities There are three social sororities and three social fraternities I would strongly recommend because of their passion. Also, University Ministry leads many interesting groups especially Alternative Spring Break where students are provided an opportunity to learn about the underserved in our world. There are also clubs for all types of academics.
Great for these types of students UDM is great for pre-professional students looking to prepare and excel before graduate school. UDM is also great for metro-Detroit students looking to commute to a University that will provide individual attention.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The oldest steam powered clock tower in the nation is located on campus.
Bang for the buck UDM is very expensive but that is combatted by the hefty scholarships handed out and financial aid given.
What to do for fun Go greek! Go on alternative spring break! Attend mass! Join a sports team!
Food and Dining The food is terrible quality and very unhealthy. Oftentimes there are no healthy options available for students. The hours and availability of food suppliers on campus is inconsistent and undependable.
Dorm Life The dorms are outdated and dirty, typical of city life. Many student choose not to live on campus and therefore miss out on the college experience.
Academic Rigor Student will be well prepared for professional schools or careers they choose. However, small class sizes and personable faculty allows students to succeed in undergraduate courses too.
Tips for prospective students I encourage you to get involved and reach out to other students and staff. There is so much more to learn in college then what is presented in lectures. Please take advantage of everything UDM has to offer.
In three sentences The University of Detroit Mercy is a proud Catholic, Jesuit, and Mercy school. It stimulates students to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially. The smaller university provides more opportunities for students to stand out which makes it great for pre-professional students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is gated and security is all around. For the most part, it is safe. If you're walking around late at night on campus, you can just call campus security and they will take you to your car.
Clubs and Activities There are so many clubs, activities and volunteering at UDM. It's a great resume builder.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The stacks is where to go to study in the library. TDR is Titan Dining Room. The rock is painted by Greek Life every time there is an event occurring on campus. I love the Annual Midnight Bike Ride that occurs throughout Detroit.
Bang for the buck For the price you pay for your education, UDM is a great school to receive it. The professors are great people to get to know and become friends with. Some of the professors that teach at UDM are some of the smartest people I know. One professor has been at UDM for 60 years and he is a great professor. If you have had Father Albright, then you will do well in any other class you have taken with him. Student who attend UDM become diverse and well-rounded students. Oh, cannot forget that the university just built a new fitness center that is pretty nice and amazing.
What to do for fun School organizations, alternative spring breaks and volunteering. Being in Detroit is fun all around.
Food and Dining The food is okay. Too much of it though will not be nice to your stomach. Some meals are better than others. It's campus food.
Dorm Life I only stayed in the dorms for half of a semester. The freshman dorms are not so great, it has community bathrooms, not so stable internet and much more. They did put in a new dorm store that allows you to go get food and necessities. The quads are a lot nicer than the freshman dorm. They have two rooms joined by a bathroom. It's a lot better.
Tips for prospective students The University of Detroit Mercy is very helpful financially when it comes to tuition. They offer scholarships that helps make it affordable for a great education. However, like every school, the financial aid (some staff) is a little difficult to work with. If you're expecting to attend a school that has a campus life or parties UDM is not the school. Campus life isn't very exciting and most students study instead of party. There are many extracurricular and volunteer opportunities on campus. The food on campus isn't anything to be crazy about, however, UDM recently installed a Subway and a Starbucks on campus. The campus is small, it would probably take about 10-15 minutes to walk from one end of campus to the other end. The entire campus is gated with two entrances that have security at the gate to allow visitors, students, faculty etc on campus. The school is dedicated to its mission statement. UDM offers several programs such as nursing program, 5 year PA program, 7 year dental program, Architecture and much more. UDM has so many great professional and graduate schools that students should look into and take into consideration.
In three sentences University of Detroit Mercy is a dedicated, diverse and personable school. This school provides students with a private education that follows along with its mission statement. The professors take the time to learn about their students and will not only be their professor but their friend as well.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Despite what many people think about the city of Detroit, this school is safer than countless large Universities in Michigan. There is constant watch by detroit public safety. DPS will ride around campus during all hours on bikes or in their cars keeping a close watch. The biggest crime that occurs here is theft. It is very rare to hear of any physically abusive crimes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a giant rock that is repainted almost every week. The various clubs and Greek Life organizations will guard the rock through all hours of the night so that they have rights to repaint it.
What to do for fun Many students utilize the brand new fitness center which includes an indoor track, two full size basketball courts, and workout equipment. There are various classes offered everyday like yoga and ab work. The main hangout place for students is the nearby cities of Royal Oak and Ferndale. Royal Oak is an upbeat town with strips of boutiques, restaurants, and fun for college students. There are parties held most weekends from the fraternities and sororities.
Food and Dining University of Detroit Mercy has a main dining hall which serves buffet style food. Everyday they will have a fresh salad bar, fresh deli sandwich line, and pizza. The hot buffet food changes each meal. Next door to the dining hall is Subway, Starbucks, and the Loft. The loft serves hot cooked food such as chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, french fries, hamburgers, grilled cheese, and philly cheesesteaks. On campus, there is also a Simply To Go station inside the library, dining hall, and the fitness center. These stations have ready to go food like sandwiches, fruit cups, bagels, soup, drinks, snack bags, etc. for students on the go. The fitness center also has a small place called Tommy's which makes panini sandwiches and fresh smoothies.
Dorm Life This school is in Detroit and has a small campus size; therefore, there a limited options for living. For freshman, they all live in Shiple hall. This is a co-ed dorm hall for all freshman with community bathrooms. The following years the options include the Quads or Holden Hall. There are for Quad halls, North, South, East, and West, and these all consist of two bedrooms connected by a full bathroom. It is suite style living. South Quad and East Quad have just recently been renovated. West Quad is unique because there is a full kitchen on the main floors for all occupants to use. Holden Hall is the last option and this is community style bathrooms. Many of the exchange students live in this hall, but it is cheaper than the Quads.
Academic Rigor This school is well-known for many of its academic programs. It's hardest programs include Dentistry, Nursing, as well as other science majors like Physician's Assistants. They are also well known for their Business, Engineering, and Law schools. They offer a 5 year MBA program as well as a 5 year PA program. The teachers are always there to help and will provide their office hours to each student at the start of the semester.
Tips for prospective students The most important thing to consider are your top priorities for your college of choice. University of Detroit Mercy has countless scholarship opportunities, a small campus size with small class sizes, and it is a private institution. It is also a division 1 school that participates in the NCAA. They offer a wide range of D1 sports as well as club team sports.
In three sentences This University truly lives up to its mission statement of serving the community in an urban context. Even with its small campus size, there are clubs, groups, and experiences for every type of person. With the small class sizes you get a very personal connection with each professor and they care about your success.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Yes, it's Detroit, but UDM Law's campus is secure.
What to do for fun Go to a Tiger's or Red Wing's game! Go ice-skating on Campus Martius! Walk the River Walk! Cross the border to Windsor, Ontario.
Food and Dining There is a lot of food around the corner on Woodward and in the Renaissance Center.
Dorm Life No dorms at UDM law.
Academic Rigor This school has the classes and professors who will prepare a student not only for the bar exam but also for being an ethical, successful attorney.
Tips for prospective students - talk to the counselors; they have the answers - don't be afraid of UDM Law just because it's in Detroit; the city is in the early stages of a renaissance, and it is so exciting!
In three sentences Of all of the schools I applied to, UDM Law made the application process the smoothest. They answered my questions, made me feel welcome, and got me into their classrooms and clinics before I even started class. I feel supported for success at UDM Law.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have a public safety that patrols the parking lots and also gates that you need to come through and show your parking pass to be let onto campus. It is gated around the university also. You can sign up for a email program and text program to alert you of anything going on on campus and also off campus.
Greek Life There are three sororities and fraternities on campus. There are three fraternity houses off campus and the sororities do not have houses. Its a great way to get involved on campus and with others that go to your university.
Clubs and Activities Each program has a club that will help students adjust to their new program and also you can talk to upper classmen about how to be better prepared for upcoming years.
Great for these types of students The university is a great optition for students who know what program they want to be in because we have direct admit programs for students. Students who are prepared to learn and know their career route.
Bang for the buck The University of Detroit Mercy offers a great education but has a high tuition, for full time and part time students. However, they offer students generous scholarships that make it more affordable for these students. A chart with some of the scholarships offered to new students can be found on the universities website. I believe that the small classes and experienced teachers make UDM a better expereince for the price, and students are rewarded for their grades in high school along with their ACT scores with higher scholarships for their college career. You are also getting a smaller class size compared to a large university so the ratio of student to professor is lower at UDM.
What to do for fun There are not many things to do right outside of the campus but on campus we have our college sports teams that you can be involved in or our brand new fitness center that has activites and classes that you can be envolved with. There are other actitives such as comedians coming to campus and student life puts on many different events throughout the year. Downtown Detroit, Royal Oak and Ferndale are just 10 minutes away from campus.
Food and Dining The universities food has been changing through my past years at the university. We got a brand new dining hall with more meal optitions and also a subway and coffee shop added to our cafe. The food is getting better and provides more optitions for any picky eaters.
Dorm Life The dorms are like any other university has with freshman having one roomate and community bathrooms. This is a great opportunity as incoming freshman to meet others because you are with all of the freshman. As upper classmen you have the option to continue with the same style of dorming in one building or you can have a suitmate with a bathroom within your dorm room.
Academic Rigor The university is known for their turn around of professionally ready graduates. They prepare you for your boards and how to get a job when you finish your education. Through out my nursing education they have taught me a multiude of ways to prepare myself for both of these including a co-op program to help us get a job during school in our future job area. The classes have a lot of classwork along with work that needs to be done outside of the classroom. You have small class sizes compared to other universities so the professor student ratio is not large and you will never sit in a lecture hall with 400 plus students like at larger universities. This is great if you want to have more one on one time with your professor and I loved how my professors knew my name in every class that I attended.
Tips for prospective students The best thing I did for my future is that I got into the direct admit program but I would encourage students to get a hold of what they want to do in the future. Use all of your assests that the university has for you whether that is for their education, or with social life.
In three sentences Detroit Mercy is a very good nursing school. The professors care for their students and are advocates for their students future. It is a small campus in the heart of Detroit that is a beautiful gem to get to expereince.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The school itself is very safe. Students however should not leave the university alone to walk around. The university itself is gated.
Greek Life The Greek life is prevalent at the University of Detroit Mercy. There are frat houses and sorority houses off campus. If one is interested in Greek Life then U of D is a good environment for it.
Clubs and Activities There are many clubs and organizations at University of Detroit, One organization is Campus Crusade for Christ. There are also activities that go on in the dorms which are put on by the Resident Assistants.
Great for these types of students U of D is great for the traditional student. It is great for students aching for a private school. It is great for students who want advisors who have small advisor loads.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus It is located close to the suberbs of Detroit. It is a Catholic University. There are many traditions promoting people such as Martin Luther King Jr.
Bang for the buck It is a very expensive school but they do offer excellent financial aid. It would be best to apply for scholarships. If you are a grad student try to work on campus as a grad assistant to take off some of your tuition.
What to do for fun You can take a cab or drive to Downtown Detroit. You can go to the casino. You can go to many of the fine dining or a sporting event.
Food and Dining The food is very good. There is a Subway at the school. There are food stations at the library which is wonderful and comforting.
Dorm Life The dorms are beautiful. The dorm room is very big. If you have a disability you can get a single room and pay the double room rate.
Academic Rigor The school ranks up there with Michigan State so I have heard. The academics are very rigorous. People have said that the rigor of the academics have made their experience at University of Detroit one of the best experiences of their lives.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you have financial aid together. Work on campus if you can. Live in the dorms if you can.
In three sentences University of Detroit Mercy is a gem in Detroit, It is very safe and architecturally appealing. The students and staff are friendly.

Great for these types of students Students who are truly dedicated to receiving the best education and are willing to put in the work to walk away with not only a degree but a full set of skills.
Bang for the buck It is a very expensive school but the one on one attention and dedication you get is amazing.
What to do for fun I do not spend free time on campus, I am in graduate school.
Food and Dining It can be difficult to find at first.
Dorm Life I do not live in the dorms
Academic Rigor It can be a very intense work load but you really come away knowing the material.
Tips for prospective students Get to know your professors, they will take the time to get to know you back and they are going to be one of your best assets and resources for your success.
In three sentences University of Detroit Mercy is dedicated to their students success. They take the time to know the students and help them achieve as much as they can. I really enjoy being a part of their school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Constant UDM DPS patrolling the campus all day long. The campus itself is located in a sketchy area, but I live on campus and I feel safe ALWAYS.
Greek Life I have no idea. No time for that, unfortunately.
Clubs and Activities Honestly, so many clubs and organizations you can be apart of. They have an organization fair during Spirit Week in the beginning of the year so you can choose which you would like to get involved with.
Great for these types of students Over achievers! People who strive for a challenge!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The 2B or 2A floor in the library is very creepy, but cool. It has really old books and a caged off area with old objects. Beware though, the ancient elevator to get there is SOOOO SCARY!
Bang for the buck It is what it is. The small student body affects the cost, I believe.
What to do for fun Many organizations hold events all week. Check your email! There is so much going on all the time!
Food and Dining I personally enjoy the food. It is not perfect, but what do you expect? The annoying part are the hours the dining hall is open on the weekends. Very ridiculous it doesn't open until 10:30, but we are used to getting up on weekdays by 8:00. Two and a half hours without food in the morning makes me nausea. And way less choices on the weekends. I feel bad for the kids from out of state who are stuck here every weekend!
Dorm Life College students, will be college students. Very small campus, so word travels FAST.
Academic Rigor Very difficult, but provides the resources and staff who are willing to help you. YOU have to try, they are not going to seek you out. It's college, what do you expect?
Tips for prospective students Vey expensive, but if your going for a profession that pays well, its worth it. Wouldn't recommend it for anything else. Unless you want to pay off student loans the rest of your life. There's so many colleges to choose from, no shame in going to a less expensive one.
In three sentences Very challenging school academically, but who doesn't like a challenge? Expensive, but will work with you based on your funds, GPA, ect. Not that organized, BUT if your willing to look and ask questions, answers are easy to find.

Melina is a very pretty girl. She loves everything on this earth, except for people who lie. Melina is accepting of others and will always love you as long as you love her. She is healthy, smart, funny, and shy. Melina may come off as an outgoing person but is secretly fine with being left alone. Melina always needs a hug, so if you see a Melina, go and make her day.
Melina is such a good person, no wonder why everyone loves her.

She's Beautiful. She has an amazing body. She can make you smile for no reason. She could get anyone she wants. She is super funny and good at drawing. She will deny what you say if you compliment her but she's still amazing. She's hella cute as well. Her personality is outstanding. If you ever get to know a Melina make sure she knows you're there for her and that she can trust you with anything, that you will be there if she falls. You just have to love her and she will accept you. And if you really love her she will not only accept you she will love you back. In other words she is perfection.
You gotta love that Melina character!

The following foods are the things that you should incorporate to your diet in order to speed up your weight loss results. Trust me, your diet is the responsible for 80% of the results you are going to get, so you'd better follow these tips and give them a try.
Milk, Yogurt, and Milk Alternatives
3 portions per day
1 portion of milk = 1 cup
1 portion of yogurt = ¾ cup
Yogurt, plain, 1% or 0% fat
Milk, 1% or 0% fat
Substitute soy or almond milk, as desired
Like milk, yogurt is an excellent source of protein, but dairy products are generally very high in saturated fats. Adults should choose low-fat or zero-fat dairy products. It is so much healthier for you to drink 1% or skim milk and eat yogurt that is 1% or 0% fat rather than the higher-fat alternatives. If what you are looking for is a step by step guide then you should take a look at this review at www.putnamhospital.org of one of the most highly rated system in the market.
The reason plain yogurt is so important is that the yogurt sold with added fruit is mainly sugar.
For example, a popular low-fat yogurt cup with added fruit sold at a coffee chain has 18 grams of sugar. This equates to 4.5 teaspoons of sugar.
I highly recommend that you buy plain, 0%, or 1% yogurt and add your own handful of fruit for flavor.
Plain yogurt is ideal for a snack. If you're not keen on its slightly sour taste, mix some fresh fruit and/or almonds into it, or sprinkle some cinnamon on it. You may think you're doing yourself a favor when you opt for yogurt with fruit already added, but these products are usually made with syrup, jelly, and/or artificial sweeteners. (More on this in chapter 5, on sugar.)
Choose Low or Zero-fat Dairy Products
You might explore soymilk and almond milk for nutritional variety and, for those with a lactose intolerance, as an alternative to milk.
Your three daily dairy portions can be any mix of milk, yogurt, and alternatives. Also, remember to count the milk you put in your coffee or tea, or in your cereal. Similarly, on days when you have cheese, you'll need to remember to cut your milk and milk alternatives down to just two portions.
Cheese – Use Caution
- 3 portions per week
- 1 portion = 1.5oz (42.5g)
- If choosing low-fat cheese, be cautious
- Count cheese included in other dishes
Although we have all grown up thinking that cheese is a healthy food, cheese is very high in saturated fats. While some weight loss programs call for no dairy products at all, the Health First program allows you to have cheese, but limited to three portions per week.
Exercise caution with low-fat cheese.
Don't be tempted to eat much more than an allowable portion just because it is low fat.
Be conscientious in keeping track of how much cheese you're eating, as it is extremely easy to exceed your weekly limit. Cheese is often added to sandwiches, pasta, and salads, where even small amounts can add up quickly. Always include in your weekly count the cheese in cheeseburgers, subs, quiches, and omelets, and on pizzas, and anything au gratin or with cream cheese. As with meat, you must remind yourself every day of your remaining weekly cheese budget allowance.
Remember, a day with a full cheese portion should be a day with one fewer milk and milk alternative.
Eggs – Any Way You Like 'em!
- 4 whole eggs per week
- Count eggs in dishes and baked goods
Eggs are a great source of protein. They also contain cholesterol, which is why we were urged for years to significantly limit our consumption of them. However, after many years of studies, it has been found that saturated fats, not cholesterol, are the main culprit in elevating our blood cholesterol.
So the bottom line on eggs? With the proper weight loss program, you can safely have four whole eggs per week. However, if you already have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or heart disease, check with your doctor first before following this recommendation.
At home, prepare eggs any way you like, but be mindful of added fat. When frying, use just a tiny amount of heart-healthy oil. Avoid egg salad with lots of mayonnaise, which is often the way it is served in restaurants. If you must have mayonnaise, choose the low-fat kind and use it sparingly.
Remember that baked goods contain eggs, as do custards and many cream dishes. You should be avoiding these saturated fatty foods while you're trying to lose weight. Keep in mind that these foods often contain lots of sugar as well.
One other word of caution: Restaurant omelets can be made with four eggs, which is your whole week's portion of eggs! When ordering an omelet at a restaurant, specify how many eggs you wish it to be made from and ask to have the cooking oil used sparingly. While you're at it, ask to have it without cheese and ask for extra sautéed vegetables instead.

Regular updating of web hosting has become essential now if you wish that your site should not face any operational hiccups in your website. It does sound like a good idea to stick to your current host especially if you have been with the company for a very long time. Often it is not until the website is on the brink of a breakdown that the owner thinks of either getting an upgrade or moving on to a new service provider. The servers with minimal downtime are just a basic requirement but also easily the one which can cost the most if not taken care of. There are many new innovations which have come in this field.
The current space has been filled up by a lot of service providers vying for the site owner's attention. The great thing is that instead of making empty promises, they are coming up with bigger and better ideas that can help your site reach the customers that have eluded your site so far. I do not think I can emphasise it any more than the fact that if you are aware of the competition that you have and want to keep ahead then this is the right path for you.

By making it financially illegal to obtain an abortion, we will only further sink into the mindset of sex=bad. If a woman pays for her own health insurance and has funds available for medical procedures, government needs to stay out of it.
This is total bullshit, the republican don't care about anything other than their religious ideology. Not one of those Republican Male's ever bleed out of their vagina. So how is it that they know better about female reproduction? Abortion is not a sin, it is a medical procedure and that is it. Hell I don't want to pay for the War in Iraq or Afghanistan but congress is doing that anyways. If conservatives don't want to pay for abortions, then I don't want to pay for war. No blood for oil using my tax dollars.
If someone wants to get a voluntary procedure that is not being performed due to rape or medical complications that is completely fine with me. That person can come out of pocket for it the same way anyone else that gets a voluntary medical procedure does.
Moderated Comment
The government shouldn't provide funding for ANY healthcare accept for military service members. This issue is merely a symptom of a larger problem, that being the problem of government doing too much outside of its constitutionally assigned scope of powers. Most Americans are so used to the idea that government CAN fund personal healthcare that they fail to question the larger resounding issue that is at stake.
I believe abortion is wrong, but if it's legal right now, then so be it. But to think that my tax money is potentially paying for someone else to get an abortion? I can think of few tyrannies more reprehensible than that.
Really, this is just another subversive tactic by today's GOP to defund Planned Parenthood without implicitly stating they are.
It also runs along the lines of their strategy for 2012, which is to place similar 'Family Values' based legislation on many state ballots in 2012. The purpose of this legislation is to increase voter turnout among the 'true believers', which the GOP is hoping will be enough to bury and counter the severe unpopularity of their stated policies — including this one.
To me, it's patently ridiculous that the GOP is wasting time passing this type of legislation; which has absolutely no hope of passing the senate nor the President. For all of their chest-beating about government interference, this is nothing less than their hoping to legislate deeply personal decisions on behalf of women everywhere; something we should all be utterly disgusted about.
Section 203 seems perfectly okay with telling small business owners (and in actuality the text itself is non-specific enough that it could be interpreted as ANY business owner) what sort of plans they can offer to their employees. I would love for one, ONE person to give me an example of a single woman in the last 10 years who has aborted a pregnancy she didn't get from incest or rape or that didn't threaten her life or health, because I for the life of me has never heard of a single one. And I know a lot of people who've gotten abortions who are low-income enough that they would qualify if such a program existed.
This is just Republicans, realizing they wrote a check they couldn't cash with their campaigning, dangling the "abortion" keys in front of the faces of the uniformed masses to distract from the recession.
kindraping- so its okay for businesses to chose what kind of health insurance they offer to employees- let me ask you this… most of the time the employee is required to contribute to the cost of that health insurance. So, why shoudln't the employees have a say is what kind of insurance they can have.
This is all about republican rhetoric. Save big business, save corporations and in return attack personal freedoms.This bill, while stopping abortions, will also be used as a loophole to restrict or slow down medical care for the poor. It is sad that the GOP tries to call the democrats "socialist" while trying to pass bills like this.
The thing is about abortions is where the government is getting the money to pay for it with. We have Social Security and Medicare and they have dipped into it until they have bankrupt it.They took our money and paying welfare , healthcare,and giving it to illegals and paying for abortions. Washington keeps ponzing our taxpayers money off the same way they did our SS and Medicare money we paid into all our life that they bankrupt it.
Washington refuses to listen to the people on every issue just like the obamacare. The liberals kept on until they passed it behind closed doors and obama signed it against the will of the people and now it is up to a one man vote in court to keep it. A one man vote is where they get a judge that sees it in their favor to rule on a issue. That way the people don't have a say in what is passed into law. That is how abortion got passed.
The thing is this country has gotten so money hungry that it is big money for adoptions that unless you are rich nobody can afford it. Abortion is big money also that doctors don't mind aborting babies instead of trying to save a life. Politicians like Pelosi even went to talk to the Pope trying to get him to get the Catholics to go along with abortions also. It is like a human life don't mean anything anymore these days. Those little unborn babies has not done anything to deserve death at the hands of a abortion doctor.
Poor babies don't want their taxes to pay for something they're morally against. Guess what? My taxes have paid for multiple wars I never wanted to happen, too. It's only fair that you holier-than-thou anti-choicers get a turn with this, as well.
I also support universal health coverage. Abortion is a form of health care. The Hyde Amendment already prevents federal money from being spent on abortions, so all this misogynistic piece of legislation serves to do is tell so many women out there, "Nope. Not rape. I get to decide what rape means." Hyde should be repealed, as it is discriminatory law, but if all you wanted was no federal funding for abortions, it should have been enough for you.
Furthermore, redefining rape? REDEFINING RAPE? This is seriously the most misogynistic thing our Congress has seen in a very, very long time.
Defunding clinics that provide safe, affordable abortions to lower-income women does not reduce the amount of abortions performed. It simply reduces the number of SAFE abortions performed.
Morally, I'm against abortion. But I'm also morally against putting hundreds of thousands of American women's lives at risk because they cannot afford a safe, effective abortion. This isn't about abortion. This is about women's health and women's rights.
How can anyone lobby for less government interference in our lives, with regards to every situation, and then make an exception when it comes to abortion? We do not handle funding of war with the same moral consideration. I assume the argument is "the taking of a life", how then do I proclaim myself God in determining whether the life of one individual is more sacred than any other? This is hypocrisy at its finest. I thought conservatives desired less regulation…
Why should I pay for healthcare for military members? I didn't send them into a war we started. How about Congress pay for their medical care or better yet Haliburtion, whose profit margin was the real reason we went there in the first place. Selective socialism is not the answer – specific free healthcare and bank bailouts are not the answer.
I find abortion reprehensible. That being said, I am firmly pro-choice. The person/people involved made a conscious decision (sans rape or forced conception) to procreate and should deal with the "problem" they made themselves. If having an abortion is morally wrong, from a religious standpoint, then their god/gods will judge them in the end. But I do not feel myself or any other citizen of the US should pay for any others "mistake". Let them pay for it themselves, or be responsible and raise their child(ren).
The issue hear is not whether abortion is right or wrong, the issue is; Should stolen money be used to kill the unborn>? Im an atheist, but I respect everyone's right to believe in what ever they want to, our christian neighbors believe abortion is murdering a unborn child, by not supporting this bill you are affectively telling these people, money they earned will be taken by force and used to fund what is to them a mortal sin_ I do not advocate governmental violence against those that wish to abort their own children, but I do ask for you to pay for it yourself, stop advocating violence against me to pay for your mistakes_

98% of abortions are done on perfectly healthy babies and mothers. Most of these are coerced by others and not necessarily the choice of the mother. Less than 1% are due to rape or incest, and even then, this violent crimen goes unpunished becuase the only evidence, the child, is gotten rid of.
If I dont have a say when my money is being spent on abortion then I shouldnt have to pay.
Spam Comment
I looked up who got paid money on this. Why in the world are our congress men and women getting money for their vote? We the people already pay them with our taxes so why in the world are they getting money from business? They are suppose to work for us. Disgraceful on all parties.
Spam Comment
If a woman has committed to the decision to get an abortion she should be able to. If a doctor decides to set up a clinic to perform abortions and has the finances to set one up he/she has that right. However, taxpayer dollars should not fund her abortion nor should taxpayer dollars support the clinic. If the abortion clinic can survive in the marketplace. In that way it becomes a more local issue, one between the woman and her family and the doctor rather than the whole nation.

Under this agreement, Shell may request Foster Wheeler to provide support in basic engineering packages for the following technologies: distillation, hydrocracking, hydrotreating, thermal conversion, ethylene oxide, pyrolysis gas, fluid catalytic cracking and CANSOLV sulfur dioxide scrubbing.
Foster Wheeler has signed a new global enterprise framework agreement with Shell Global Solutions, the companies said on Thursday. Under this agreement, Shell may request Foster Wheeler to provide support in the preparation of basic engineering packages for the following Shell technologies: distillation, hydrocracking, hydrotreating, thermal conversion, ethylene oxide, pyrolysis gas, fluid catalytic cracking and CANSOLV sulfur dioxide scrubbing.
The agreement is for a five-year period, with an option for Shell and Foster Wheeler to agree to extend the agreement for another five years. Foster Wheeler will record bookings as work orders are received from Shell.
Foster Wheeler already has in place a five-year Asian agreement initiated last year with Shell, under which Foster Wheeler is providing engineering and project management services for Shell downstream and midstream projects in Asia and elsewhere.
We are already working with Shell on a diverse portfolio of their planned investments under the Asian [agreement], both within Asia and elsewhere, and we are very pleased to have signed a second EFA under which we will provide additional global support to Shell, this time in the development of technology packages, said Umberto della Sala, chief operating officer of Foster Wheeler. It is a key strategic objective of Foster Wheeler to develop and extend long-term relationships with our clients to leverage our technical expertise, global reach and local project delivery to support their global investment plans," he added.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Yes 59%

SMALL BUSINESS BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL Small businesses find themselves in a holding patternBy SCOTT SUTTELL 10:58 am, August 30, 2012
Small businesses are in "a holding pattern" as their owners worry about the coming elections, the country's shaky financial position and troubles in Europe, according to the Wall Street JournalVistage Small Business CEO Survey for August.
A co-founder of The Boston Beer Co. — you know them as the makers of Sam Adams — is among the keynote speakers announced for COSE's 2012 Small Business Convention, set for Oct. 25-26 at the Kalahari Resorts Convention Center in Sandusky. COSE says the convention is expected to attract more than 1,500 small business professionals. It will feature nearly 50 educational breakout sessions; a 75-exhibit trade show; learning labs focusing on marketing, technology, QuickBooks and other topics; and networking opportunities. Natural born entrepreneurs
Running a small business is in the blood of many Inc. 500 CEOs, according to this survey by the magazine. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio.
