When I first heard about mills college in my sophomore year of high school. I never put any thought or attention to it being that it was an all-girls school. But when my senior year came I felt like it was the right choice for me so I applied and got accepted! Walking into campuse you instantly fall in love with it. The campus is such a beautiful place that I enjoy getting there every morning. Mills is such a diverse place that me being a Latina I have never felt out of place nor uncomfortable. At Mills, you get so much support from your fellow classmates since classes are so small and from the staff. The staff is very kind and, always find ways to help you in any way they can. The best part is that they believe in you and what you can accomplish. From the top of my head, something they can change is lowering the food prices since not everyone is well financially stable and, Making our campus a free smoke environment to help our students stay healthy and our air quality less polluted.
I am a current student at Mills College, and I have had a great experience so far. They offer immense support in a multitude if areas. There are a large number of social groups, and everyone is very welcoming. The campus itself is beautiful, and very well kept. The community is full of different shops, and fun local businesses. The professors are really engaging and try to accommodate for every individual student and their learning preferences. I have found my passion through Mills, and they do everything in their power to encourage you to find your passions and follow them. There are classes offered in a wide range of academic interests as well.
For me, Mills is a very diverse community of liberal minded individuals where individuality is accepted and encouraged, unless you're conservative. The Economics department, where I am at, the professors are great and the program is put together. For a lot of other programs, the classes and professors are limited and create a patchwork system within which it is difficult to plan and achieve a degree. The area around the school is a cultural epicenter, however it is also in a fairly dangerous area of Oakland where is not uncommon to hear gunshots at night. Campus is serene and beautiful as it has plentiful nature and forested area. If you want to party at college, don't come here. Mills has no party scene to speak of, and the social climate can become isolating if you let it. Freshman housing is quite decrepit and for many the rooms feel like shoeboxes. Housing thereafter becomes more amenable and spacious.
