About Us

The Office of Housing & Residence Life is responsible for supporting students while they live in the residence halls at Mercer. We believe the learning which occurs outside of the classroom can often be as valuable as learning which takes place in an academic setting. Experiences outside the classroom include developing close relationships with diverse individuals, enhancing leadership skills, and assuming personal responsibility. Our residence halls are staffed by highly talented and trained Resident Assistants who live on each floor and work diligently to build community and support students in all aspects of their college lives.

Our office is located on the third floor of the Connell Student Center, behind Career Services.
