Students Speak Out On Overall Experience

“Every high school student gets told that they’ll be thrown to the lions. A million papers that some professor is going to blow through on his way to a downtown bar. I was intimidated beforehand, but when I got into my second semester, I realized I had great, smart, and generous professors, and that I wouldn’t be steamrolled. That, and I found out that becoming a CPA wasn’t for me, and that there were a lot of opportunities after college for someone with an English degree, which is like Christmas coming early almost every day.”

“I really wanted to stay close to home, and because of that, Millsaps was one of my top choices. When I was accepted, I became really nervous because I had heard that it was far harder here than at state schools. I came in and worked pretty hard, and my teachers were very receptive. Looking back, I’m not sure I would have been as receptive if someone had come to me with writing of that quality. But every step of the way, the school has helped me grow.”
