Wonderful, intimate setting. Challenging, but it is easy to receive help in your classes. Always something to do, from sports to clubs to food!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make a friend with a car if you plan to go off campus often. The trolley is helpful and goes to the store once a week, and it takes you to Downtown Macon. Never be afraid to ask for help. Go to the academic resource center to get help, form a study group, or set up a meeting with your professor.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Difficult! But its so rewarding and you learn so much!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
They really should knock down all the dorms and rebuild them. The freshman dorms are cramped and old, but the upperclassman apartments are nice.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The caf is pretty and diverse, it caters to vegetarians too. There are some food places right outside of campus, as well as restaurants within driving distance
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Every freshman signs the tower of the administration building, and every freshman goes to Pilgrimage to Penfield to learn about the heritage and history of Mercer. Also, upon graduation, you have to rub Jesse Mercer's (statue) head before the ceremony starts!
