University of Detroit Mercy — Attraction in Detroit

I'm enrolled in a Master's program of Architecture at UDM. The curriculum exactly fits my needs and considers all my previous education. Staff and students here are more like a family, that creates friendly environment especially for new students. Studios here are mixed of theoretical and practical approaches, which expands my experiences in both ways. The school shop has all kind of machines that help in doing models. The school has good ranking and reputation in the area. The dean is such a great person, also he is AIA Michigan president of year 2017. Since I got here, I have learned a lot and my skills increase especially in design and using computer softwares. The professors here are really nice and so helpful, they always have their doors opened for any questions or if you're seeking advise. I have been in contact with U of M when I was applying for a Master's program, I found them careless, kinda lost and unorganized, unlike UDM School of Architecture, they know exactly what're they doing and care about each single student in the school. School here gives students good chance to meet with professionals and big companies to help get them a co-op or and intern position once the...

My experience at this university’s engineering program has been incredibly disappointing. The quality of the professors is shockingly low, with many lacking the qualifications, communication skills, or dedication to provide a proper education. Lectures are often poorly organized, and it's clear that many professors either have little real-world experience or no interest in helping students succeed. Office hours are a joke, as most professors are unavailable or dismissive of any questions beyond the syllabus.

To make matters worse, the tuition is outrageously expensive, and there are constant hidden fees that aren’t mentioned upfront. For the price you’re paying, you would expect state-of-the-art facilities and top-tier education, but instead, you’re met with outdated resources and subpar teaching.

It feels like the university is more focused on squeezing every dollar out of students than providing a quality education. If you’re looking for an engineering program that’s actually worth the cost, avoid this school...

I do not recommend their clinical psychology masters program. The feedback from professors to students about being too “cheeky”, or “share more opinions” has nothing to do with the ability to practice clinically. The suggestion to share more thoughts/opinions in class if you want a letter of recommendation would not have gotten me a letter of recommendation! Apparently it was relevant if the professors liked you and your sense of humor rather than ones ability to provide therapy and conduct assessment.

Overpriced for the value. There are plenty of places to get a degree from. I’ve found little from this program to be useful in clinical practice. The training I received following graduation was much more relevant to my practice than theories, having the DSM read in class, and learning to administer projective assessments.

The level of diversity was appalling. The most diverse individual I can recall was a middle aged white male pursuing a second career. He stood out from the 20 something...
