Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

During freshman year, it is typical to hear from many peers that they will be moving out into their own apartments or homes before sophomore year. But by the time they have been living on campus for three semesters, complacency, enjoyment, and the difficulty of securing and maintaining one’s own home creates an insurmountable slope for most undergraduates. The fraternity houses and the dormitories house more than 80 percent of Millsaps students.

Students living off campus are either from the Jackson area and have support systems, if not homes, already in place. After that, maybe 5 percent of students actually rent and maintain places independently. The exceptions are fifth-year students and part-time students who have their fingers in many pies. The school does not have anyone with the position of arranging off-campus housing or aiding students with their off-campus experience. The SBA Senate maintains a place for off-campus students, but few organizations get input from this disassociated part of the student body. Of course, this is frustrating for the students that do not live on campus—there are strong complaints about their aloofness regarding social events.

Few Apartments Near Campus

Apartments are pretty scarce in Jackson. Most of the areas around campus are more expensive houses.

The closest thing to off-campus...

The closest thing to off-campus housing that Millsaps has is Greek Row. It’s a lot like the sort of house I think I would want to rent in.

The students that live off campus...

The students that live off campus are all staying with their parents. A couple are truly independent. Most everybody else just inhabits the same room that they had when they were in high school. I admire someone who maintains a consistent schedule, but some 10-year plans should really be two-year plans, y’know?
