    Some days the food is good, but others it's not the best. It honestly depends on the staff's attitudes that day I think.

    The Caf is okay for being a freshman, but the UC is where it's at! Chick fil a, Subway, and Burger Studio are great. Also, Macon has some good spots to eat. McAllister's, Sakura, Papouli's Greek Dining, and Bear Foot Tavern. Some really good places in the area.

    No dining halls present at this site, but the hospital cafeteria is large and makes exceptional food compared to other hospitals visited.

    Not being Greek myself, I must admit the Greek life at Mercer is different from most school but in a good way. The Greek men and women that I knew were nice people who were involved on campus. Greek life isn't for everyone, but at Mercer it's not terrible either.

    Being involved with Greek life at Mercer has been a very rewarding experience. I am a brother of the Alpha-Beta chapter of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, and know that it is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Mercer's Greek like has a very unique culture, and the Greek GPA is higher than the unaffiliated GPA.

    The greek life on campus is great. They have many events in which they serve free food and give out prizes to those who attend. Not only that, but the have get togethers at their houses and you get to gain more friends when you attend. They have got to be the best greeks in the South. They are very well educated and respected around campus.
