How this house placement reads

Mercury in the eleventh house is social intelligence of a wide kind. Scenes, chats, hopes, the slightly odd ally — these are classrooms. You may think better in a circle than at a desk. The tension is commentary as belonging, or never making an idea local. Growth is a friendship that can hold a true thought. Your mind is a network; it is kind when it names someone.
