Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

You should be vaguely cognizant that someone is administering certain rules, but no student is forced to be overly aware. The Greek houses are left to their own devices unless they are put on suspension for some violation (usually, each house has one a year). Some underage students growing brave take to drinking 40s in the middle of the Bowl or trying to sneak into the Caf’ without an ID.

There are notable exception to the lax enforcement of rules: The honor code is thoroughly enforced, and plagiarism at any level with any assignment is punished forcefully after being brought before the Judicial Council. To impress this upon students, at Commencement, every incoming freshman signs his or her name, pledging themselves to its edict, and some professors maintain that every assignment should be pledged with a signature. The other exception is overall dorm maintenance. Some students maintain that Residence Life sends out fines to every student at the end of the school year assuming that they will just send back a payment. Rooms are open to random searches, and there is a list of things that are no-gos, such as various cooking instruments, certain lamps, and candles. Propping open doors to residence halls is also a big issue enforced by RAs and housing.

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.

Strictness? This Is College People

Policies about drinking and social activities in the dorms are mostly regulated by RAs, who rarely try to butt in on personal goings-on.

I'm sure there are strict policies about things like drinking, but I just don't see it..

Bottom line: Campus is way too...

Bottom line: Campus is way too strict. Security always seems to be in your face hassling you. They need to back off.
