Mills House

About Mills

Mills house is the one in Mission immediately to the right of the front entrance. It's also the one with the dining hall outside the window (on the front) and the loading dock outside the window (on the back). It has several desirable qualities.

The Loading Dock

Mills has the distinction of being above the dining hall and kitchens for Mission. Thus it is also above the loading dock. The trash truck comes between 5:00 and 5:30 AM on an average weekday morning, and delivery trucks seem to come from around 6:30 AM onwards. If you're an early person this is not so much of an issue, but for our later-rising friends, it could be. However, closing the window cuts down on the noise dramatically, but if you want the fresh air, you're going to get the noise too.

The Mysterious Mechanical Room

Mills 2 houses the mysterious Mechanical room and the door out onto the roof of the lobby and the dining hall.

The Leak

The second-floor landing in the stairway on the Pratt end of Mills has the distinction of being at the same level of the lobby roof. When it rains enough, a nice puddle develops on one half of the landing.

Mills 3

Mills 3 is one of the finest places to live on campus. Quiet enough to study, yet close enough to party, this house defies a singular definition.
