It is expensive, so be sure you want to spend your money here and don't waste it buy being lazy or by just barely getting buy in classes. A lot of financial aid is given out to students-you just have to go after it. If you don't get enough offered to you at first, then let your admissions officer know. Often, they can magically find more funds to add to your scholarship, or increase your scholarship. The athletics program here is not that well promoted. In the long run, your experience in classes and GPA matter more than going to a nationally-known football school. There is talk of getting a football team for Mercer again, but this is several years away. Other programs, like basketball and soccer, are good. The school could do a better job promoting them, but the focus here is more on academics, not athletics.Certain departments are better than others as far as the major's curriculum, and often you really do get out of them what you put in. Sometimes departments don't require certain classes that a specific grad school may want you to have under your belt, so try to know what specific classes grad schools want when choosing a major and your classes within your major. Some departments are more research-focused than others, as in, they try to make researchers out of you (Psychology, Chemistry, Biology, etc). Others are more hands-on, and experienced based (Education, Engineering, Music, etc.) This is partly due to the nature of each major and what you can do with it at a Bachelor's level versus going on to a Master's or Doctorate level.PREMED, Prepharm, etc., is HARD here. Accept it. Chemistry and Biology are challenging classes here.Mercer University is Teaching University, so faculty do only a minimal amount of their own research. This is the place to go if you want personal attention and a close working relationship with professors and advisers. |
