I love Mercer when I first register with Mercer my boys were little it was rough for me so left and came back to finish up everything. Fall 2019 I just completed two classes and I have 12 more classes I dont know how Im going to fund my classes. But Mercer really works with you.

Coming to Mercer helped me learn that I red to start taking my classes seriously because I never really took school seriously in elementary through high school. Ive learned so much at Mercer in my time at this school this far.

I love it at Mercer but depending on where you are on campus the internet is a bit spotty.

EXCELLANT School. Keep in mind that it IS a community college, don't go here expecting Princeton or Yale, but the professors by and large are very invested and interested and the staff is extremely helpful. I frankly wish I could complete a higher degree here. This place really saved my life. I'd recommend to anyone.

I was highly satisfied with the college before I graduated, but when I needed to network as an alumni, the professors were incredibly helpful. This college was my Hogwarts from the day I entered and it never stopped taking care of me. Thank you MCCC and staff for a great start to my career.

My experience at Mercer hasnt been good. Classes that I need to take for my degree are not available or are closed before the semester begins. I dont feel safe enough to take classes on campus after a few incidents where people have followed me to my car which is a distance from the actual buildings. I might transfer and finish elsewhere honestly

None.

The professors that i have encountered are snooty. Most have been doing the same lecture for 20plus years so its embeaded in their head, but what they fail to realize is the students have not done this for 20plus years and in fact this is most of their first try at it. The department heads and the professors which means bias all the way!

I transferred here from another community college. I have never missed a school so much in my life. Mercer provides you with no resources, you have to seek out your guidance counselor because they don't reach out to you at all, you have to pay for printing, and the food is disgusting. The school has no sense of organization. Clubs don't do ANYTHING

Advisors are terrible here. I have to take more classes than what is necessary for my major. Parking is very far. Some of the rooms are outdated and need restructuring to new technology. The professors here are a hit and miss also. I would be weary before going here. I would say the only thing that is okay is the tuition rate.

MCCC, while an affordable alternative to more expensive four year schools, is in my opinion a 'dump.' Yes, the education here is in my opinion the same as anywhere. However, there are way too many students for the size of the campus, it is dirty and falling apart, and filled with too many people who do not care at all about getting an education.
Overall 1.5
In my opinion this has been a terrible experience at this school, many professors are down right awful and have no concern for their students . I have had several amazing professors but there is a good number who don't care. MCCC was a general waste of my time and I will never recommend this place to anyone. Save the stress and go elsewhere.

Never trust Mercer

The library is awful, how do you not have extended hours during finals week? The wifi is terrible, if you can even connect to it. There is virtually no school spirit and the clubs don't do much on campus. It's a community college so a social life wasn't expected. It's a great place to boost your grades and that's about it.

This Comm.College was set up for the convenience of the County workers (there are plenty!) and the underpaid/underachieving "Professors"/instructors. It was set up with a big campus that is extremely inconvenient for the students who park in the remote lots and have to walk over 1/2 mile of attractive grounds to/from their evening classes.
