Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Junior

I started Milligan Untraditionally, I graduated Highschool early with 36 credit-hours of Dual Enrollment. Milligan accepted all of my credits that I transferred over without any trouble. The people here at Milligan are all very nice, all the staff members are very helpful, you only need to ask. The only bad part of life at Milligan are the Student Dorms, they are old and disheveled, and in great need of remodeling.
