How have you changed after attending Mercer? I have grown mentally into a better person since becoming a student at Mercer University. I have also gained a numerous amount of knowledge on the many different cultures of students attending Mercer.

What don’t you like about Mercer? Overall I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Mercer. I enjoy the small campus and helpfulness of the students and faculty.

Piece of advice: Stay encouraged. Sometimes life gets tough, especially as a Mercer Student! Remember to try your best and don’t give up; no matter how it may appear things will get better.

Since Earth Day is coming up, what is one thing you think everyone should do to contribute in keeping nature alive? I know this may sound funny, but for Earth Day I think that each student should try to use no more than three napkins in the cafeteria. Unfortunately sometimes when you are eating and talking with your friends you tend to not pay attention to how many napkins you actually waste. Each student should also try to recycle at least one item. There are bins located across Mercer’s campus which will help make this a very simple task.
