Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Despite all their qualms with the academics, the facilities, and the social aspects of Millsaps, many students look on their years here as a great personal investment. For young adults that need challenges, they will find them. For those who need nourishment, there will be enough of that as well. The administration is truly committed to this. With 12 students to each faculty member, the school gives higher education a personal touch that distinguishes success from failure. Of course, no student who wished to stay forever could be considered a success, and most students are extremely eager to begin their futures. Sometimes, these ambitions become evident in the highly political, possibly even malevolent, maneuvering of on-campus gossip.

The student body is respectfully conservative—there will be little in the form of bitter disputes of beliefs. Millsaps College prides itself on being a transformative experience, and many students come back more thoughtful, more liberal, and more mature. It can be found in Jackson, which has been labeled ‘The Best of the New South,’ and has made strides toward becoming a more metropolitan center. All of this contributes to the feeling that a freshman standing at the door of his college years at Millsaps College will be beginning an individual and unique process.

Feelin' Hot Hot Hot

Mississippi weather will be Mississippi weather. It's summer eight months out of the year and the sun takes its job seriously. You'll still see brave souls outside in the bowl (our quad area) year round, though.

Laissez-Faire

Millsaps College expects a lot of responsibility from its students academically, and, fortunately, this expectation is carried over into its other policies as well. Millsaps expects its students to make their own decisions responsibly and very rarely interferes with their academic or social pursuits without invitation. Students are free to behave as they wish since Millsaps considers them accountable to decipher responsible from irresponsible on their own.

Fun Learning

Millsaps students love to have fun! Even in the classroom, our professors are continuously involving students with deep stimulating discussions, instead of just stuffy lectures. The social scene is awesome, whether you chose to go greek, or not. The campus is so close nit that everyone knows each other, so you will always have a good friend to lean on.
