The living situation at Mercer isn't bad. . . freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus but a lot of juniors and seniors stay on anyway. My only complaint is it is soooo expensive to live on campus. I live in the Greek Village and am paying about $2040 per semester.
Here's the breakdown:
Mary Erin Porter Complex: all freshman in three dorms. Dowell is community bath for guys and Boone is community bath for girls. Porter is suite bath for girls. Not too bad. I lived in Boone and Porter freshman year.
Plunkett: freshmen coed by wing. ewww this place is nasty and the rooms are like closets. and "Plunketteers" tend to be a little crazy sometimes!
Shorter: Freshmen coed by floor. VERY nice! 2 rooms connected by a living room with suite baths.
Roberts: Upperclassmen coed by floor, community bath. EW that is all I have to say.
Mercer Hall: upperclass coed by suite, 2 bedroom or 4 bedroom suites with living room and a bathroom for every 2 rooms. You get your own room and it is WONDERFUL. Nicest dorm on campus
Sherwood: Upperclass coed by floor. normal dorm suite style but with really big rooms. Really nice.
Garden: upperclass coed by apartment. Private bedrooms 2-4 per apartment. a bathroom for every 2 bedrooms. kitchen and living room. Very nice and very ahrd to get into.
Winship: Similar to Garden except not furnished and used for grad and non traditional students or undergrad overflow.
Stadium Drive: Apartments obviously built in the late 60s-early 70s. 2-5 person. Kinda sketchy and really far from the hub of campus. Right near the really bad part of town that campus backs up to. We all try to avoid living in Stadium.
Greek Village: 10 rooms houses, private rooms. 2 story with huge common rooms and kitchen/laundry room and an office. I currently live in the house owned by Panhellenic. (Some houses are 5 rooms, 1 story for the smaller chapters.)
