What are the popular events and traditions at Millsaps College?

Homecoming, Major Madness, and Project Midtown are named events associated with Millsaps campus life. They serve different purposes: Homecoming brings alumni and current students together, Major Madness centers campus spirit, and Project Midtown connects participants with community engagement in the surrounding area.

Homecoming programming can include athletic and alumni activities, while a service-oriented event such as Project Midtown places more emphasis on participation beyond the campus. The format and dates of recurring events can change from year to year. Students deciding whether to attend or volunteer should rely on the current campus calendar for the actual schedule and registration details.

What are the student housing and dining options at Millsaps College?

Millsaps provides college-operated, coeducational housing for undergraduates and offers campus dining. Housing is an available option, but students should not assume a particular building or room type is guaranteed without a completed housing assignment.

Applicants should review the current residence options and housing contract for first-year placement rules, application deadlines, roommate preferences, break-period access, and any requirements to live on campus. The college reports high-speed internet access in its housing units. Students seeking a particular accommodation should use the college's established request process rather than relying on an ordinary room preference.

Meal-plan choices and dining access can vary with a student's residence and enrollment status. Before choosing a plan, compare where and when meals are served, whether unused balances carry over, and what options are available for dietary needs. Students considering off-campus housing should also account for transportation and lease terms when comparing it with a campus room and meal plan.
