Information Sessions

We recommend starting your campus visit off with one of our daily half-hour Information Sessions in order to become acquainted with Mills College. A knowledgeable admission counselor will present information about Mills and ways you can make your visit to campus worthwhile. During the month of May, Information Sessions will be held Monday through Friday at 10:00 am. During the summer months from June 2 - August 29, Information Sessions will be held Monday through Friday at 11:00 am. To sign up for an Information Session, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 800.87.MILLS or 510.430.2135 or fill out our online form.

Interviews

An on-campus interview with an admission counselor is strongly recommended as an opportunity for the College to become acquainted with the applicant and to acquaint the applicant as thoroughly as possible with Mills. The interview is expected of any candidate whose credentials differ substantially from the majority of successful applicants. An on-campus interview is also expected of students who live within 50 miles of the College.

A student living farther away is strongly encouraged to arrange for an interview with the Alumna Admission Representative (AAR) in her area; a list is available from the Admission Office.

Interviews are offered between 9:00 am and 3:30 pm, Monday-Friday. To schedule an interview, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 800.87.MILLS or 510.430.2135 (for international students) or fill out our online form.

Campus Tours

Tours of the campus are offered Monday through Friday at 10:00 am and 2:30 pm when classes are in session; at other times one daily tour is offered at 11:30 am. The one hour tour is usually conducted by a current student. Please telephone the Office of Undergraduate Admission at 510.430.2135 or 800.87.MILLS to sign up for a tour, or fill out our online form.

Individual Visits to Mills

Prospective students who are unable to attend one of our campus visit programs may wish to schedule an individual day or overnight visit to campus (only available early September through mid-April, when classes are in session). Spend the night on campus with a current Mills student (bring a sleeping bag!), dine in the residence halls, and attend classes. Overnight visits can be scheduled Monday through Thursday. Day visits may be arranged Monday through Friday. During a day visit you will go on a tour, have your questions answered by an admission counselor, and attend classes. To schedule a day or overnight visit, call us at 510.430.2135 or 800.87.MILLS or fill out our online form.

Campus Lodging

A few guest rooms in the residence halls have private baths; most are dormitory style, with twin beds and a shared bath. The residence hall guest rooms are reserved for members of the Mills community only. All rooms include bed linen and towels. Maximum stay is one week. Sorry, pets are not welcome in buildings for health reasons. The Housing Office may be contacted by calling 510.430.2127.
