Review of Millsaps College

from Greenwood, MS

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Millsaps has taught me to embrace each and every challenge head on! As a student, you must give every class the preparation needed which requires managing your time wisely, and in order to stay sane you must manage your stress as well. Most of us are familiar with/or may be procrastinators who are often called “lazy” and “irresponsible.” But the truth is procrastinators are no less productive than people who work themselves to death under deadline stress. Although procrastinators put play ahead of work, they’re in a much better mood to do work, and creative juices flow better when you’re in a good mood. With that said, college is where you discover what works for you, and you just do it!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

YEEEEESSSSSSSS! Most appealing was the connection Millsaps makes with its community through community service; the environment and the people made this a packaged deal! I love classes with service learning components where you go to, i.e., the Boys and Girls Club to help students develop conflict resolution skills. It's the hands-on experience that makes this educational process the best!

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

Millsaps has the best liberal art education in the state! It's the only school in MS where you can major or minor in Peace Studies! Over 75% of Millsaps students study abroad, and scholarships are available to cover tuition and traveling fees. I love Millsaps for its diversity in its curriculum and in its students.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Word from the wise! Apply for more than enough scholarships... renewable ones! This forty thousand dollar education is equivalent to some single parent salaries. Ultimately, you will enjoy Millsaps more if you don't have the stress of paying for your tuition.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Whether your passion is studying bugs, peace corps, teaching, working in obstetrics, self-expression through art, singing or preforming Bach, or politics among others, Millsaps is for you!
