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.

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.

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.
