Mills is wonderful. Everyone is welcoming, helpful, and passionate about what they do. The small campus makes it easier to make close friends with others.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I highly recommend visiting campus and if you are accepted, definitely attend the one-night program where you can stay for Mills at one night with a student at Mills who will be your host.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Mills professors and classes are very intellectually and academically enriching. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are so stressfully challenging, but that they are very insightful and complex in that you think in very different ways that allow you to become even more of an open-minded person so that when you are out in the real world, you are aware and critical of your surroundings.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great! The small size of the campus makes it even more convenient to get to where you want to be. Also, remembering that you live in a campus that has been there for so long, since the late 1800's, is pretty amazing.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
For the most part, the food is fresh and home made. Vegan, vegetarian, and a whole lot of options are always available. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet, which is pretty cool. The food is good. It's not what you will get at a fancy restaurant of course, but it's definitely not high-school-cafeteria-like...WAY better than that. Can't complain.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
One can walk around campus with friends, take a jog on the running trails, visit the Tea Shop, lie down on the grass in front of Mills Hall and read, get involved in sports and clubs, and attend events.
