Mercer University is a great college for students who want academic rigor, professors who know their names, and a place to meet all kinds of people.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure that you visit the campus before committing. Talk with potential professors, students currently attending, and your admissions counselor.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Mercer is known for its quality education. The classes can be rough but as long as you don't procrastinate and study you will be fine. Every class though is taught by a professor, unlike some major schools. Mercer also offers the Great Books program which can replace the common core requirements.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The freshman dorms are not that great but they are liveable. I mostly use mine for sleeping as I'm in class, studying, or hanging out with friends for the majority of my time.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The cafeteria at Mercer is outstanding and if you don't find anything you like there, there are plenty of restaurants on and around campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is plenty to do on campus. Between intramural sports, midnight movies, sporting events, you will never be bored. In addition, there is plenty to do in Macon. :)
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Mercer is costly but most students coming in are able to get scholarships. I'm currently paying the same or even less than anyone that is attending UGA or GA Tech. Mercer is well worth the money.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There are many special traditions such as rubbing the Jesse Mercer statue as a freshman for luck and then as a graduate for luck in future endeavors.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Academic, outgoing, and community service oriented are some just to name a few.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many ways to get involved on campus. If you're not involved in anything, you really have to be trying not to get involved.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are plenty of sororities and fraternities for one to get involved with on campus. Our Greek Life has won many awards for charity work and high GPAs.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The Mercer Police, or MerPo, does an amazing job at keeping the campus safe. In addition, the dorms are equipped with locks that only students can open, in order to prevent outsiders from entering.
