I transferred to Milligan from another school due to the lack of community I felt there. When I visited Milligan the students, faculty, and staff were all very friendly. The staff is always willing to help you, as long as you are willing to help yourself and ask. Find a group to get involved with, and you will feel at home. Great school overall!!

My time at Milligan was really amazing! Mainly because the professors are excellent! They are wonderful and caring people who are there for their students. I developed wonderful relationship with my professors that I know will last for a long time to come. The food isn’t good, but if you can get past that then it’s a wonderful school

I absolutely loved my time at Milligan! Professors really get to know you well and will present endless opportunities to you if you are willing to ask and put in the work. Everyone knows everyone. People outside of Milligan will judge you, not sure why because everyone is so kind. 10/10 I love this place

The community is worth the price. The professors here genuinely want you to succeed, and will go to great lengths to help their students on an individual basis.

Not really a good reason to go here, most of the cool people that I used to hang with have already transferred or left, I am following suit after this semester. Food sucks and is overpriced, dorms are nasty and overpriced, not a whole lot of class options, have to take classes online because they can't afford actual professors, nothing to do

Its not a school I would attend again.
Overall 1.5
People running this college care about two things, reputation and money, they care about reputation as it leads to them making more money. Every year there is another price jump and every year nothing gets better, the Cafeteria and food has actually gotten worse, dorms are still roach infected and disgusting, like many I am fed up and transferring
Overall 1.5
Vastly overpriced for the product it offers, nothing to do outside of academics and athletics, food is terrible, no clubs or intramural activities, out dated and backwards policies. They create their "community" because only the people that have the same exact ideology as them stay, most transfer
Overall 1.6
Don't go here unless you are a christian and a Bible or theology major, way too expensive with far too few class options and opportunities for anyone else. Food is awful, nothing to do outside of class
Overall 1.6
Doesn't feel like an actual University, lacks things to do outside of class. Nothing to do on weekends, Cafeteria is awful, dorms aren't great either. Extremely expensive considering the lack of opportunities that the school offers, If I could do it over again I wouldn't have gone here. Most students transfer after a year or two like I am.

Worst decision of my life to go here

Beautiful campus! But, not as welcoming and helpful of a college as I was hoping it would be.

Milligan cares about two things: money and reputation. Ironically, they're in debt and no one outside of 10 miles has even heard of the school. Students must live on campus and pay for the meal plan, which allows Milligan to charge astronomical prices which increase by 3% each year. It's easy to see their priority is anything but their students.
