Before coming to Mercer, plan ahead for the rigor and the demand from professors. However, do not be too afraid of professors because they are all willing to help each student in any way that they can once you reach out to them. Be prepared for lots of discussion and sometimes one-on-one conversations.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Mercer is an academically challenging university; it did not get the name Harvard of the South for no reason. The academics are challenging but well within reach. Professors often begin to schedule assignments around the same time, so making schedules and being academically-minded is key.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms are dorms. Honestly, you should not be spending that much time in them any way. You can decorate however you'd like to, spend time with friends in them, and feel safe with the necessary precautions (Bear Card access) to get into the buildings.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria serves all meals of the day and has a variety of options for any eater. The University Center also has a food court with fast food places that are good for quicker food. Overall, just try not to be too picky and be willing to try some new things.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are TONS of things to do around campus outside of the classroom. On nice days, you'll see tons of people on Cruz Plaza playing games or reading. There are numerous events from bingo, karaoke, trivia, etc. that happen throughout the year to participate in with friends.
