<p>has anyone visited mills college? or perhaps know anything about the school? the admission office sent me a birthday card and i don't know if i should consider putting them on my list of schools.</p>
<p>I live 10 minutes away from Mills, and in my opinion they have a very nice campus. In the Bay Area, Mills has a very good reputation and a strong alumnae(?) network, but I don't know how it's national reputation is.</p>
<p>Mills campus is very nice, but right outside the gates is just the opposite; East Oakland has the perhaps the highest crime rate in the State. No place to safely walk for a pizza, video, movie, etc. You'll need a car, or a roomie with one.</p>
<p>My high school daughter attended a residential summer program (not affiliated with Mills) a couple of years ago, and we found the dorms to be in disrepair. Otherwise the campus looks nice.</p>
