Review of Millikin University

from Louisville, KY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The gen education classes seem a little pointless to take, esp. CWRR which you are required to take even if you passed the AP test, which I did. The classes pertaining to one's major are extremely beneficial. They are challenging and still intriguing. I can tell the education I am getting here is a lot more advanced than most other schools based on talking to people at different schools with the same major. Millikin is great with dealing with hands on activities.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Though Decatur is a small city, Millikin creates enough activities to create a fun and new environment. Everyone here is really expressive and unique which allows even the shy quiet people to express themselves. Most people here are really excepting and welcoming.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

The education is really worth the tuition. However the room and board can get pretty pricey. Also, the meal plans for freshman is an extremely high amount that most people never use each week, leaving them with wasted meal plans. Millikin does pretty well with handing out scholarships to worthy students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Understand that you are going to an extremely small school, take an overnight visit to campus and see if it is right for you.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Millikin is pretty well with reaching out to all kinds of students, but esp. theater and art majors, business majors, and sports education majors.
