- 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.
