   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, Mercer stands out more for being a private doctoral university with high research activity than for being a large public system school. For an international student, that makes it a practical choice if you want a university with multiple colleges and a research-oriented setting rather than a narrowly focused institution.
