Mills is also recognized as one of the best colleges in the West, becoming one of the top 120 regional colleges The Princeton Review recommends to students pursuing an undergraduate degree. In addition it is distinguished as one of the greenest colleges in the nation based on the school's performance as an environmentally aware and responsible institution, scoring a 97 out of a possible 99 for environmental policies and practices. This is the sixth consecutive year that Mills has been included in this national guidebook, a recognition given to only the top 15 % of four-year U.S. colleges.
