  • Located in the foothills of Oakland, California on the east shore of the San Francisco Bay, Mills offers students a unique study in contrasts. Amid the green, rolling hills and century-old eucalyptus trees, students find a great place to live and learn. The campus is heavily accented with Mediterranean-style buildings, many designed by architectural innovator Julia Morgan. Paths and streams wind their way through tree groves and meadows, adding to the lush feeling that pervades our 135 acres. Profile last updated: 02/12/2010.
