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.
Mercer is small and a great way to connect to people. You’ll never walk somewhere on campus without bumping into at least 1 person you know! 85% of the professors I had at the Macon campus were amazing and actually want to get to know you. Sports are so so but still fun to attend the events because again, everyone is so connected. Lots of opportunity for involvement and the community on campus is so supportive. Outside of the campus, it is kind of a rough area. Downtown has got super great weekend activities/restaurants. One unique aspect of Mercer is Z beans. Z beans was started by a mercer student and the university decided to implement their shop right on campus which shows they believe in their students. Some management/advising areas truly don’t make sense in why they do things but I think all universities are like that. Admissions is 10/10 super helpful though. Overall Mercer really does want to see you succeed.
Mercer University is a challenging school with diversity and has a lot of opportunities to build connections within your career path. The student life is great if you put yourself out there and explore different clubs and organizations. As a student athlete here the support is great, students love attending games and supporting their fellow bears!
