Mercer, despite its appearance as a distinguished institution, adheres to some of those norms. Tuition is incredibly high for students to be treated so horribly. One of the dorms had mildew, and numerous students asked for something to be done, but nothing was done. The school frequently floods, soaking several of the dormitories and personal possessions! The school lacks parking, especially for commuters, and residential students have no space to park! Because the institution accepts so many students and does not have enough space, around 200 students were left without housing this semester. There isn't much safety either; we have campus police, but they don't do anything. There was one instance where a student was mugged! The school actually leaves the gates open; what's the use of security if it's not there to protect us? Many more things have occurred, and neither the institution nor the student body cares enough to address these concerns. I wish someone had informed me.
My overall experience at Mercer University has been amazing. The campus is beautiful and engaging. The staff at the Macon Campus are so inviting. There are so many opportunities to different activities and majors to choose from. The students are very diverse and inclusive. I am a college commute student and I am moving on campus next year! Although Mercer doesn't have many financial aid approaches to choose from.
Mercer is pretty average to me. The food options aren’t great, buildings are so old and crusty, dorms are not good except you pay extra which you may not even get. When it comes to room selection and registration, you have to pray because there’s barely enough seats in a class and not every one gets equal chance at choosing a room. Otherwise, the small classrooms and the professors are really the best parts. Oh it’s not that diverse either. I’m an international African student and trust me when I say there’s barely diversity!
