    Mercer is a very expensive college, with a price tag that doesn't seem to fit quite right. No doubt it is a very prestigious private school, with many resources for students. Yes it is a relatively small university with plenty of personal attention from each professor, And yes in the end a diploma from Mercer would look fantastic on any resume but . . . Well i guess the price isn't too bad after you add everything up. read full review

    We work hard but we play hard as well. This is my home away from home. There is so much to do on and around campus it is hard to become homesick. On campus, we have Greek life, intramural sports, and several other clubs and religious groups. There is something for everyone. Quadworks, a student organization is in place to provide entertainment for students and the community. We provide in a BIG way. Whether its a foam party on the quad, or The Plain White T's having a concert, there is never a dull moment. read full review
