I love Milligan! It is a great school academically. It needs more focus on spiritual life.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Study, read every assignment for every class. Have fun but do not get caught up in everything going on on campus and off campus.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Milligan is a great school. The teachers are amazing! You will have to work though. The classes will be hard if you don't do the reading assignments.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is fun, but it can be frustrating. A dorm is like a household. You argue like family (or worse) at times, but you also have fun with the other people living there.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Sometimes the food looks like it is uneatable but it is normally good and there is usually a variety.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are movie theaters, bowling allies, shopping centers, and skating rinks in Johnson City and Bristol. There are also shopping centers and a TON of nature activities in Elizabethton and Johnson City and surrounding areas. Milligan College has open mic nights and PLENTY of activities on campus every week such as sporting events, inter murals, music and art programs and exhibits, concerts, worship, etc.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The college is expensive but you get what you pay for... an amazing education with great people teaching and learning beside you.
