The thing I love about the Millsaps curriculum is that it's interesting -I even look forward to classes everyday. I highly value the liberal arts experience because it goes beyond the flat technicalities so often taught in some subjects and encourages students to search for meaning and reason in all areas of education. What we learn is exciting, and that really helps in the learning process. For students who might be struggling in any particular subject, professors are ready and willing to offer extra help, and study groups are easy to come by.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
After only a month of being home after my first year at Millsaps, I was already aching to be back. I can honestly say that it has become my new home. The campus is beautiful -especially in the spring! It has a homey feel without being overwhelming. As far as rules for the students go I feel that the administration has found the perfect medium between being too strict and being too relaxed. The people -students, professors, and administration- are all so welcoming and helpful. That is one of the main factors that lead me to choosing Millsaps. They really treat you like a name, not a number.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
True, Millsaps, is on the pricey side. I have become especially aware of this fact because I pay my own way through school. Still, I think you are getting the bang for your bucks, for the most part. There are no surprise extra costs like some that I've noticed at other schools. For instance, parking decals and printing do not cost extra. The only thing that bothers me is the meal plan. There is only one option, and it's rather expensive compared to other schools; however, this is possible to change!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come visit! I think it's imperative to visit all schools you're considering. It really helps to feel out the school and see if you feel that it's a place you would enjoy. Also, there's no better way to see if you're gonna like the people than if you meet as many as you can. Come to the summer programs and to summer pre-registration. Come visit on a weekend and stay with a freshmen! They were in your place not too long ago and can probably answer all your questions.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for those who enjoy being academically challenged. Great for people who want to go to a small school. Great for people who enjoy diversity and are open-minded. Great for people who understand the difference and importance of a liberal arts education.
