I wish you could be a little bit more specific. I was a rising sophomore this year major in Computer Science, and here my (might be irrelevant) take:

Excellent support academically. I was asked for when I was absent, and when my friend were absent. The professor knows names of the students in the class and track their performance.

My professor in CS department told me that Mercer focus much more on teaching than researching and they did exactly that. Dr Andy Digh is spectacular in that aspect. Have a trouble at 1.30 a.m. Flick an email and expect a reply at 1.32 a.m. Yes, Dr. Digh did that. Several times.

If you go to office hours, especially Math, you can see a lot of students just camp there doing homework, like high school :)

Opportunity to do serious “individual study” with professor. A friend of mine was interested in a field. His professor created an “individual study” course for him to get credit. I also was working in a project with a professor last trimester (although it failed) and am going to have undergraduate research going next year ( as sophomore)

People are friendly. A lot of things going on.

You can loan book for 3 months. And then renew it for another 3 months. You can also loan it from interlibrary resources, which are basically free (Mercer cover you 15$/ book, I have never got a book that I have to pay). It's pretty sweet!

Study room everywhere. Board, marker, and eraser already ready.

The fact that most of student lives and eat together means that you get bonding fast. I have been to public school and have heard many stories from my friend who went to big public school about their being left alone and no one helps them. It does not happen here.

Now the bad side is:

Expensive. Housing. Food. Everything. As Mercer excels in teaching and helping student, it also excels in making money.

There's a lot of complain about housing this year. Mostly management.

There's not a lot of things to do downtown, which might be a plus.
