Housing Information

Housing
Mercer University School of Medicine recognizes the impact the living environment has on student life and that the environment is an integral part of the student's educational experience. Medical student housing needs, which focus primarily on privacy and quiet for personal and educational development, are different from those of undergraduate students. Because of these differences, residence hall housing is not available to medical students; however, the office of Admissions and Student Affairs can assist you in exploring th many housing options available.

University Housing
 Housing is available on a limited basis. The apartments are reasonably priced and are within walking distance of the School of Medicine. Exact information concerning applications, costs and assignments may be obtained by contacting the Office of Housing & Residence Life at (478) 301-2687. Interested students are encouraged to contact the office as soon as possible since the housing is limited.

Off-Campus Housing
Macon's historical district contains many homes that were built during the late 1800's and early 1900's and has been the scene of much renovation during the past decade. Some apartments in this neighborhood have fourteen-foot ceilings and working fireplaces. Housing in the historical district is located within a five to ten minute drive of the School of Medicine and downtown Macon. The best source of information on this housing is an informal file maintained by the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs.

There are also many modern apartment complexes in Macon. Students should not be concerned about renting an apartment in a location that seems removed from the School of Medicine. All housing in Macon is within a twenty-minute drive from the School. If a student authorizes the personnel in the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs to do so, his or her name and telephone number will be given to other members of the class who are seeking roommates.

New students are urged to visit Macon in June or July to look at housing possibilities. Upon request, students will be sent a complete list and description of apartment complexes located in Macon.
