I’m an alumna of Mills- graduated just before the student strike in '86 or so- the strike was to oppose turning Mills into a co-ed college- Mills students and alums convinced the board to keep Mills a woman’s college-
Mills is NOT in a great neighborhood- ans seeing the razor wire topping the surrounding fencing is a little off putting- the college is very self contained- and has a shuttle in to Berkeley multiple times a day - easy to take BART to SF or the Peninsula- but at least when I was there had little to do with the surrounding community.
Mills is a beautiful campus- has quality professors- is small and personal- they have cross registration with UC Berkeley, and the College of Arts and Crafts- I loved my time at Mills and made friends for life there. Go- visit- ask questions.
