Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Schools across the country have been in a furious race to provide students with the best facilities possible. Of course, providing high-quality academics programs is always top priority, and schools with more limited funding, such as Millsaps, may appear to be losing the race in this regard. One prevalent rumor is that admissions demanded for years that visitors not be shown the Christian Center and upperclassman dormitories. Lately, though, tour groups are regularly seen in these places. Several small gardens have been added around campus with endowments bestowed for that specifically, and different solutions for beautifying the campus are constantly presented. The HAC and the playing fields are also used frequently, especially by athletes and students looking for some good recreational time.

The Christian Center, one of Millsaps’ oldest buildings, has long been considered at the top of the list of buildings to replace. While plans do exist for the creation of a new Christian Center, it has undergone extensive construction, including a new roof and walk around for the theatre, foundation repairs, as well as a new directing studio and makeup rooms. Professors, students, and administrators all agree that the worst facility is the Ford Academic Complex, which houses the Business Of?ce, the Of?ce of Records, the art department, and a many classrooms. It was conceptually designed in imitation of Plato’s Academy, but it has not aged well.

The Facade

I love the facade of the campus. Every building is beautiful. I wish that there were less water outages.

Beautiful Campus & Terrific Facilities

The campus is beautiful, which warrants a lot of outside study time. There are plenty of green space and big trees. The Bowl is the perfect place to chill or read or play frisbee. Plenty of campus activities are held there.

Also, the library has plenty of study nooks. There's also plenty of places in other buildings to find the perfect study spot.

Typical of Millsaps campus, I...

Typical of Millsaps campus, I heard all of this negative stuff about the AC and the south side of campus, and how the admissions department for a long time hid the latter from prospective students. When I discovered I had already seen both and had not gotten a bad impression from either, it did leave the impression that the students here have super-intense criticisms of everything.

Favorite Things To Do

Many students spend quality time on treadmills in the HAC, and the Caf’, as might be presumed, gets considerable volume at lunchtime. The Bowl, at the center of campus, is a re?ection of the student calendar: after or before examination periods, two-dozen carefree students picnic or throw Frisbee, but during more stressful periods, or when the weather is gloomy, it is empty. Also, Reuben’s, which opened in the Spring of 2008, is an on-campus restaurant that attracts hoards of students going to or from the frat parties. Its large flat screen and comfortable seating combined with the fact that it is open until 2 a.m., makes Reuben’s the newest popular on-campus spot.

The Millsaps Players produce about four plays a year, and every Friday in the Ford Academic Complex (AC) a forum is presented by guest speakers on intellectual topics. Millsaps Productions frequently provides concerts and games in the Bowl. There is also a weight room, several basketball courts, and a number of sports fields to frequent.
