Overall, my educational experience at Millikin was prettyQuite BrightChemistry
Overall, my educational experience at Millikin was pretty good. I learned a lot from my classes, my professors were easy to approach, and since it's a small school I had more hands-on experiences than I would have had elsewhere. There is some busy work, but I think that just comes with the fact that it's such a small school.

There are pluses and minuses of any place you will go. The major negative things about the ?Millikin experience? include their constant need for their students to join fraternities/sororities and their non-conservative view points. If you are someone who does not want to be in ?Greek? life, who isn't into loud parties, and who can be socially conservative, this school may suit your educational needs, but socially, you may be miserable.

If I had to rate Millikin purely based on education, I would, like I said, give it high marks except for the busy work. However, if you are someone who needs to be happy in their social environment to succeed academically and you don't feel like you would fit in here, I would seriously consider elsewhere. Although I didn't fit in socially, I got a lot out of the experience and felt it worked out for me just fine.

Decatur is a terribleQuite BrightArt & Design Department
Decatur is a terrible place to live. It's violent, dangerous and polluted. The school is fine, but choosing a school is also about deciding where you want to live for 4 years.

Question
I am a theatre major and would likeQuite BrightPerfomance Arts
I am a theatre major and would like to say IF YOU ARE NOT IN THEATRE OR MUSIC OR NURSING this most likely isn't the school for you. I would never be anything but a theatre major and it lives up to its full reputation of being tough time consuming but practical work. So yes Decatur is crime ridden so is every other college town, hello Dekalb? Rock island? Chicago? Yeah crime happens. It doesn't spill onto campus often I think once last year and that was it. So people keep saying frat parties are the only parties. That's a lie there are parties every weekend at people's houses not just the frats. Faculty is amazing, students are great, more than enough extra curricular. And greek life is amazing!
