International Programs at Mercer University

Ozgur Atabay (Turkey)"While I was improving my communication and writing skills during my education at ELI, I also had the opportunity to learn about American culture and American social life during my session. My favorite aspect of ELI is the friendliness and helpfulness of the teachers and students.  They encourage you, comfort you, and inspire you.  I felt very comfortable in the classes to ask questions, even when I was unsure about my choice of words to be used. It has been a great experience for me.  Thanks are due to all my instructors and my class friends for the great time we spend together at Mercer University."

“Our school is excellent and very exciting.  We came here to study English, but we have a great time in addition to studying here.  For example, I have many international friends because we help each other here.  Friends whom I met here are like teachers and real siblings at times.  Also we attend a wonderful class, our teachers are kind and fun to be with.  They teach us not only English, but a lot of things about American culture and customs.  I really relish my lessons and exchange with many friends.”

“The best thing about being a Mercer ELI student is that my English improved in a comfortable environment.  We have small classes that enhance our ability to understand. The environment is friendly, and thus, it’s very easy to make new friends.  Moreover, the staff working at the ELI is super nice and friendly, too.  They support you and help you anytime you need.  In addition, at Mercer University ELI, many activities are conducted, like ski trips, rafting, coffee talk, and soccer games.  My moments at the activities of the ELI were very exciting and wonderful:  I consider them to be among my best memories.  I really enjoyed being a Mercer University ELI student.”

“There are so many interesting things in being an ELI student.  The best thing is the friendships with many people from other countries.  Those activities that are offered by Mercer like the Bible Study, Coffee Talk, and the ski trip are great. They are really important to create this moment for the students.  My teachers are really great too.  They are always willing to help me in any kind of problems or doubts that I have.  The university also have so many facilities for students.  The Sheffield building is the best place to have fun inside the campus.  They offer swimming pool, gym, and games all day.  We can have a lot of fun in Mercer University.”

“It’s a great experience to study abroad when you’ve chosen the right university.  Being a Mercer student is very interesting because the office workers and all the teachers make you feel confident.  They know their jobs and they are respectful about your country and your culture.  In my case, I really got what I expected, the knowledge, friends, good atmosphere and open-minded teachers.  Whatever where you comes from, whatever your language, you’re welcome here, and I’m pretty sure you will enjoy it.”

Hangsun Lee[Tony] (Korea)

"While I was studying at Mercer ELI, I realized that this school is great!  Mercer ELI has a very nice campus with a lot of facilities such as library, cafeteria, gym, swimming pool, and dormitory.  Mercer ELI, also, has lots of extra student activities such as various trips and parties, coffee talk, and international day.  I have been so surprised at these varieties.  However, the best part is that Mercer ELI has excellent teachers.  They have a lot of experience and knowledge.  They, in addition, know well how to teach to foreign students.  Anyway, my English skills have been improving fast with them, and I assuredly commend Mercer ELI to you.”
