Mercer University Top Questions

Mercer University is located in Macon, Georgia; a historical Southern town. The school is Baptist-affiliated and is very conservative. For this reason is why people that do not fit "social-norms" should not attend this school. It is a very good school and by all means if you are very smart you should come to this school, but in my opinion the trouble that you are faced with here by not following conservative views definitely makes the process of getting a great education harder to enjoy.

Someone who doesn't want to work hard and play hard should look for another college. Mercer will push you to the limit of your academic abilities and will push you to be involved in as many sports, clubs, and activities as possible.

The school has a dry campus, and anyone caught drinking pays a fine. So if you need alcohol to have fun on a regular basis, don't attend. Of course, there are others who do drink on campus, take the risk of getting caught, and don't. Also, don't attend if you intend on cheating. Failure of the class and suspension can result.

Someone who is not willing to put forth the effort for the rewarding degree from Mercer University. This college requires a lot out of each and every student, but having Mercer on your diploma is elite!

People who don't want to find out more about themselves and find a direction for their lives.

Someone who wants to actually live off campus. The residential life is NOT willing to work with students, even some with disabilities.

Someone satisfied with doing the level of work that was required of them in high school. If you slack at this university, the classes will eat you alive. If your goal is to go to school because your parents are making you, or simply because it is the next step after high school, Mercer University is not for you.

anyone who can't afford this college and people looking for a bunch of sports scholarships.

A person who is commited to getting a quality education, but doesn't mind the high cost of tuition.

One more concerned with career and learning than with social life.
