Housing

The historic district surrounding the Law School contains a substantial amount of available housing within walking distance of the campus and downtown Macon. Macon also offers a number of apartment complexes and rental properties within a 10-15 minute drive of the law school. We advise that you visit Macon in late May or early June to explore housing options. Some of the housing options are listed below.

• The nearby Orange Street complex is a university-owned facility that offers housing for graduate and professional students. For more information contact the Mercer University Office of Residence Life at 478-301-2687.
• Privately owned apartments- The Admissions Office maintains an online database of local apartment listings. To access the database go to the Law School Portal. You may also access the listings by visiting the Admissions Office.
• The Admissions Office will provide an apartment guide which will list all apartment complexes in Macon. This will be mailed to you in late spring.

 Housing Tips:

The following information is designed to provide housing tips for making your transition to Macon as smooth as possible. Numerous factors should be considered when deciding where to live in Macon. Please realize Mercer is not recommending any specific apartment complex or housing. These tips are just some things to think about when making a decision regarding housing.

• Location -- Decide if you want to live within walking distance from the school or if you want to live away from the school. If you prefer to be walking distance from the school some of the streets nearby are Bond Street, Walnut Street, Orange Street, Georgia Avenue, and College Street. Many students who live off campus usually  live in apartment complexes or rental houses in the north Macon area, a 10-15 minute drive from the law school. Although a short drive to the law school, you are close to shopping areas, grocery stores, movie theatres, etc.
• Price -- The location of an apartment or house could determine the amount of money that landlords or home owners request for rent. Generally the rent ranges from $400-1000 plus per month. You may want to have roommates to share expenses. Also, you should request an estimate of the utility bills for the apartment or home you are considering both for air conditioning and heating.
• Quality -- Please inspect the house or apartment prior to signing the lease.
