Why Mercer?

“I chose Mercer for the small class size, distance from home, and beautiful campus. A big factor in choosing Mercer was the beach volleyball coach, Josh Marsh. After a few phone calls with Coach Josh, I knew that this is where I wanted to be. He focuses a lot on family, which is very important to me. My freshman class was the start of rebuilding the program, so I am excited to see what the future holds. I am so happy with my decision in choosing Mercer University because I got to meet some of my best friends who I will share a relationship with forever.”
