    Senior: Mercer University is a great school overall. The people here made me feel so welcome, and I truly felt like part of a family during my 3 years as a student. Most of the professors are incredible people; I could tell they wanted to see me do well. Because of the small class sizes, it is really easy to build relationships with your professors and get to know other students. For me, this really helped to ensure my success in classes. In addition, there are lots of organizations and volunteer opportunities on campus to help students get involved in the community and feel at home. The campus is absolutely beautiful! However, housing isn't the greatest; some of the dorms are rather old. A few dorms are new or have been renovated recently, so those offer a better living situation. Also, there aren't many food options on campus, and I rarely visited some, as the food was inedible. The meal plans they offer are ridiculous and are not at all worth the money you are asked to spend.

  2. Wesleyan College

    • 4 Year
    • Macon, GA
    • 437

    Freshman: I’m a freshman here and so far I think it’s a good college. The sisterhood here is strong and I love it. There’s diversity and inclusion here. There’s respect among us. The professors are good and they are well equipped. There are a lot of tutors around to help you at any time with any problem related to a course. The food here is great, there are different options to eat in a day. The dorms are spacious too. The only thing the school should work on are scholarships for international students. They are kind of limited of the international students which makes it a bit difficult for funding.

    Agnes Scott College

    • 4 Year
    • Decatur, GA
    • 621

    Freshman: This is a great school! The professors really do care about each individual student. Since class sizes are much smaller, professors are able to have a one on one experience with students and they are able to get better help. Everyone at the school is so friendly and welcoming and allows everyone to be themselves without being judged. We all work together to fight issues, whether they be on campus or out in the world. It is right next to downtown Decatur, which is a great place for college students to hang out or to study. There are very few parties on campus so you have to go off campus to get to any, but this is helpful for anyone who is not looking for the party scene.
