Live Q&A With Current Mercer University Students

Ask current Mercer University students questions about academics, campus life, dorm living, and more.

Mercer University has shut down campus visits and tours due to the coronavirus outbreak, and many families are worried about choosing a college without being able to visit in person and get a feel for campus life. In this Q&A session, we'll ask our panel of Mercer University students a series of questions about everything ranging from campus life to athletics to the classroom experience. Webinar attendees will also get to participate in the second half of the Q&A.
