Overall ExperienceWhat'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.

Sports Help Student Relations

Sports at Millsaps is a very common enrichment by the typical student. Almost everyone at Millsaps plays some kind of sport. The student involvement is extremely high but can often times cause less fan support. To many student are focused on their own sport that they often miss out on supporting other sports. The athletic facilities are above average and give the student athletes a fair chance to compete.

Diversity Between PC and Mac

The computers at Millsaps College give very little problems. There are multiple computer labs that account for the entire student body. I have very rarely seen crowding in the labs. The network reliability and speed is great when inside the academic buildings. It may seem slightly slower on your personal computer, but this is just reflected by the distance you live from the center of campus. A benefit of the computers here are the diversity between PC and Mac, Millsaps has computer labs for both types of computers. I have never fell into a huge problem with the computer technology at Millsaps and I don't see it as problem the school needs to address.
