heart of Georgia

02. Dine with the locals
Eating downtown is always delicious. Whether
you are looking for seafood, burgers, sushi, or
tacos, you will find it all downtown. With nearly
60 different restaurants, there is something for
everyone within walking distance.
03. Work out and have fun
Macon Rocks is Middle Georgia's best climbing
gym located in Downtown Macon. As a college
student, you can climb all day for just $15, or
you can get unlimited access for $60 a month.
If you are new to the rock-climbing world, don't
stress: Macon Rocks offers classes, and the staff
members are very helpful. With three floors of
climbing, you cannot miss this!
Welcome to Macon! Mercer will be your home for at least the
next four years, so make sure to enjoy the community around
you. Macon is full of rich history and is the perfect place to
make many memories!
Here are some activities that will help you make the most of
your new home. Mark a few off your list now or save them for
later, but try to experience them all before you graduate.
01. Slide into fun with the best view in town
Head to Coleman Hill by Mercer Law School and glide down
the legendary slide. You can see all of downtown from this hill,
creating a picture-perfect moment.
Pro tip: Bring your own cardboard to sit on
for optimal sliding capability.
