Separate to the area, the campus size is given as a (non-sepcific linear measurement of) {{cvt|25|mi}}. This seems very unrealistic, given that only the very largest cities are spread over a contiguous area of that scale. If something more specific like "the campus is spread over sites this far apart" is meant, this should be clarified.

update area

I do not have the new acreage; however, GMercyU recently expanded the area of their campus, so the current area is inaccurate Pokeswap (talk) 16:09, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Per the current version of the website, I have updated the campus area in the article. Archon 2488 (talk) 11:48, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Stated campus size seems unreasonably large

Separate to the area, the campus size is given as a (non-sepcific linear measurement of) 25 mi (40 km). This seems very unrealistic, given that only the very largest cities are spread over a contiguous area of that scale. If something more specific like "the campus is spread over sites this far apart" is meant, this should be clarified. I will not dig into this, but a cursory glance at the given source does not make any such statement. Archon 2488 (talk) 11:48, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

The stated area of the campus is 314 acres as per this website: https://www.gmercyu.edu/about-gmercyu This is copyright 2020, so that seems to be current. I think that's good enough. Michael Glass (talk) 23:08, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
