I did my graduate degree at Mercer University a few years back. I finished it in just under three…read moreyears while working full-time. I sometimes wonder how I managed to get to the finish line without dying trying to balance work, school, and life. I'm so glad that I made it through! My program was unique, as lectures were entirely online, through text chats, video conferences, and lots of communication through e-mail. It was and continues to be a program that is not offered at any Canadian university. I was fortunate to get awarded a bursary during my time at Mercer University. It helped me out immensely. The university has decent tuition payment plans, which this Canadian appreciated, especially when the exchange rate was horrible! Throughout my time as a graduate student, I worked closely with my professors. We often talked over the phone and through e-mails when I needed advice and help. They truly wanted every student to succeed. There were various conferences where I would meet my peers and professors, so it didn't seem like I was studying remotely. I made the trip on campus for my graduation. I am glad that I did. The campus is gorgeous. Two of my professors gave my friend and me a tour, including their offices and lecture halls at the School of Engineering, where we ultimately got our degrees. The only negative I can think of was the mishap getting my name on the graduation list. The woman that I dealt with was unpleasant. Here's hoping that she has fixed her attitude and is a better person these days! To date, I am still close friends with my professors and peers. Last summer, two of my professors-turned-friends and a peer were in town for a conference. We met up for dinner and it was wonderful catching up with them. I wouldn't have forged strong friendships had it not been for Mercer University and the program that I graduated from. (171)

You may expect to be treated as an individual and will learn more knowledge supporting that, right? You won't get it. The "school" is overpriced and lacks decent customer service (yes, this is a business), the food and the overpriced meal plans are VERY bad, parking is a joke, the campus police is a joke, and your time is a joke if you're seeking a decent education. Search elsewhere.

Not a bad school at all. The staff are great and it's a pretty well organized school. My only issue…read moreis that this is probably the least friendly school when it comes to military and veterans. Every school I've attended has just asked to be provided with your JST (Joint Service Transcript) and I have been issues elective credits for the applicable courses/experience. Here they want you to provide all details of courses taken (Some from 1990s), describe them and then research and provide the course you want credit for. Mind you, all of my past transcripts from schools have those courses listed and the credits assigned. It makes it almost not worth it. I will more than likely be transferring to a more military friendly school to graduate from so that I can get my credits earned

You have concerns about anything? TOO BAD! They'll give you the run around! I had to go back and forth from the dean's office to housing office multiple times because of roommate problems and the people above me. It has caused me so much stress, I couldn't even be comfortable in my own room that I PAID FOR! It doesn't matter how many meetings you have or who you talk to, nothing is going to be fixed and it will all be on YOU. And they wonder why people fight and damn near burnout because nothing is being RESOLVED! Why am I doing your job?! They literally don't care about you and they love lying to students about things they can easily fix but CHOOSE not to. You get your own room BUT AT WHAT COST? It's costing my sanity for real! DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT ALL THIS STRESS! I wish I knew all this stuff before I became a student.

The campus grounds were immaculate. The cafeteria had many selections for students to choose, the only thing I would love for them to include on their buffet is more non dairy, vegetarian and vegan options. Other than that, it was very good. It was good to see another HBCU experience.
