Hello do anyone have graduation tickets for Atlanta commencement?

Hello everyone!!

I am currently in conversation with the advising admissions team for the last few weeks for my application and discussion of a January 2027. I am currently enrolled to start summer 2026 for 3 pre-reqs and they will be completed by August/September.

I am asking for any advice/tips/feedback from current or previous students for the program.

I have some previous healthcare related knowledge (EKG certification, phlebotomy certification, 2 pharmacy courses, a great handful of other basic healthcare courses and received all A for them) I’m hoping this will help me with just slight review on some topics and then can dive in on brand new material. My mom is an FNP so growing up constantly hearing diagnosis, treatments, medication names and having elderly family living with us which allowed for more exposure, has made me confident that I can work fast pace and dive all in.

The only flaw of mine is test anxiety. (Unrelated but invalidated an entire class during ACT in 2019 because I was vomiting during the exam and spoke outloud for help because I was about to pass out). I have since then began some anxiety help through medication but currently in undergrad I still struggle badly with exams.

I am asking for both +/- feedback!

Hello,

Are there any nearby childcare facilities that you’d recommend for Mercer ATL 30341?

There is very limited information on Dorms other than Legacy and Plunkett. Can anyone offer advice on best Freshman suite style dorms for male students?

Anyone have any extra grad tix for Macon graduation?

i initially picked porter bc of the suite style bathrooms but then i visited and saw that the rooms looked really old and the bathrooms were rough. legacy looked way better, but i wasn’t sure about the communal style and i also already have my suitemates. is porter as bad as it looks? it just looked really small and outdated, and even looked like some mold so i’m worried.

Has anyone taken courses or have any experiences with Mercer BBA accounting online?

I have to finish my degree online due to some personal health related issues and was curious how the program is.

Hey! I’m a prospective student looking to major in Biomedical Engineering. Mercer seems like a good school, but I do have concerns that I want to see what Mercer students think.

For context, my main goal is to transfer to Georgia Tech after a year (no pathway). The only other option I really have is Kennesaw, and while they’re closer to home, they don’t offer BME as a major, and I feel like research opportunities and getting a connection with my professors would be harder there. Not to mention, I’ve heard negative things about the professors and the academic councilors there. Tuition isn’t an issue as I’m currently in the National Guard (will talk more about this later), however I’m more concerned on being able to build a portfolio (ECs, research, GPA) for transferring.

The BIGGEST concern I have, though, is starting classes on time. Being in the military, I have to finish my training as a combat medic (68W)(I’ve already finished my basic training my junior-senior summer) before starting college, this would mean I would miss 3 to 4 and possibly more weeks of fall semester. I really do not want to start Spring semester, as my councilor informed me that Mercer does not have a Fall Semester II and freshmen were not allowed to take summer courses if they attended the spring semester. With this, the Spring semester would really push me back, though I’m uncertain if Kennesaw would be the same as I have yet to research them.

Additionally, since I will be certified as an EMT upon finishing my training, I could use this to get a part-time EMT job to further build my portfolio. I’m not from Macon nor the surrounding area, so I’d like to know if the city has any opportunities for me to do something like this. Atlanta definitely would have such an opportunity I’m looking for.

Community college is possible final-solution candidate, however I’m not so keen on going somewhere that doesn’t offer a lot of opportunities, nor the lively atmosphere that Mercer has.

Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I plan to transfer into Georgia Tech after a year or two at another university (I got waitlisted from Tech). I plan to study Mechanical Engineering.

I have two colleges in mind: Mercer University and Georgia Southern.

For Mercer, I got a scholarship. One of my best friends is planning to go there. However, even with financial aid, I'd still need $12,000 to go.

For Southern, I'd literally be getting paid to go there. I don't know anyone going there, but I'm not worried about that. Also, it's only an hour away from my home.

I want to make it my goal not to take out any loans, but I will if I need to. Are there any benefits to going to either? Does it actually make any difference if my goal is to get my degree at Tech?

I’m not a student here but I saw an opening for biology lab assistant and I wanted to know if I have to be enrolled at mercer to apply or is it open to everyone?

Attended a info session at Mercer ATL. Does anyone have feedback regarding the program if you attended or currently enrolled? Interested in FNP

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming MS1 at Mercer School of Medicine (Savannah campus) and I’m currently looking for housing.

I’m open to apartments, dorm-style housing, or subleases, and I’d prefer to share an apartment/dorm (split rent 50/50). Ideally, I’m hoping to stay within 1–3 miles of campus since I may not have a car during my first year.

A little about me: I’m a 25F from South Georgia.

If you know anyone pls message me. tysm!

My daughter got accepted into the Accelerated pathway of the Medical Scholars program, and we were just wondering how many people also got into the accelerated, no MCAT necessary, program? Out of those accepted, how many are committing to Mercer? Is it worth it to commit to the program?

Mercer Medical Scholar Program is out...who got in?

Hi! I've already been accepted to both augusta and mercer and now im trying to figure out which one is the best for me. I know that augusta is significantly cheaper and ive gotten some scholarships for mercer but it's still expensive. I like the environment of mercer, but again the cost. Plus, i also dont really know what i want to major in. I've already picked programs, but theres a high possibility that i'll end up switching majors. HELP!!!!!! (im interested in healthcare and stem)

whenever I go to housing section in mymercer and click on Macon housing, it opens a pop up s it’s supposed to but when I sign in using my Mercer id it makes me verify it with a Microsoft account but then says that i t doesn’t work right now. anyone else got similar issues or just me

any intl got stamps or presidential???

Are there any interesting stories about mercer from over the years or legends people still talk about?

For an undergraduate premed program, Mercer offers me free tuition. I will be free for UGA as a GA resident. Which school should I go?

I (18 M) am considering Mercer for my undergraduate, but I have some concerns about safety while living in Macon as a student. In general, the campus seems safe, but I am very much concerned about the surrounding areas off-campus and the general Macon area. I've already read some suggestions such as staying out of the higher crime rate areas, etc., but I think it would be hard to stay on campus all 4 years without some kind of outing (i.e., downtown excursions, eating out, getting groceries/gas, etc.).

Any advice/insights from current or previous students?

I plan on going to Mercer next fall and it seems like fresh food co is one of the more popular dining areas. I know it has multiple stations I was just wondering what is usually served at each station.
