In response to those needs, Mills offers a variety of services and facilities for residential and commuting, traditional age and resumer students. Residential Life and Housing Living on campus with a group of other students is a valuable part of the Mills educational experience. Students at Mills create a home where they make close friends and learn from involvement in community and hall government, the advice of trained student resident assistants, and the differing viewpoints of fellow residents. Students plan programs, invite professors to dinner, discuss classroom issues in the hallways, or just talk about life. They also organize their own dances, video nights, hall brunches, and other social activities.
Students live in both double and single rooms.
Each hall has an established student government which works with the residence staff to respond to the interests and needs of students and to plan educational and social events. Because some students prefer independent living arrangements, Mills also provides some apartment and cooperative housing options. Although requests are considered, it is not always possible to accommodate everyone's preferred choice. Traditional-aged, first year students are assigned to the freshwomen hall based on space availability. Students living in this hall enjoy a community with their peers as well as special programming and guidance that facili tate their adjustment to college life.
