Mercer has prepared me for my future by allowing me to have the skills and knowledge and tools that I need to excel in my career. It also helped me develop connections and develop relationships that I'll probably carry with me throughout the rest of my life.

Mercer is good at getting like-minded people together, and the campus is small and intimate. I'm able to have one-on-one conversations with faculty members that I wouldn't get at, let's say, a larger university.

Amelia Rivers, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and School of Music, ‘22

What makes Mercer special to me is the diversity. This school is very diverse in race, culture, age, religions, occupations, every single way possible. We are a very diverse school, which is really important because as a provider, I want to be in a school that reflects my patient groups.
