The area is beautiful and safe. The professors are always there no matter the time to help you if need be and respond very quickly to emails. Everyone is there to help and no one is ever too busy. The class sizes are perfect and if you don't understand something someone is always there to assist.

Autumn - 04/14/2020

I think Millersville is a great school. It is affordable and the education is great for the price you are paying. You get to meet people from all over and the location of the college is in a location where I feel safe. I liked this college because there are so many opportunities for me to get involved with my community and the college. The faculty here want you to succeed and will help you in any way that they can so you can achieve your goals. I also really liked this college because people are serious about their learning and there isn't a huge party scene at this college. I am so excited to start in the fall!

It is placed in a lovely town, very quiet, although there is not much within walking distance. Campus life is usually rather peaceful and has lots of opportunities and activities. Class sizes can quite vary from small and intimate to very large like a lecture hall format. Overall I enjoy being here, but there are things that could be improved.

Millersville University of Pennsylvania FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at Millersville University of Pennsylvania?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Millersville University of Pennsylvania is 69%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to apply more reasonable schools. I wasn't being realistic in my college choices. I was all over the place and wasn't sure exactly where I wanted to go. I would have told myself to do more recearch on schools and apply for scholarships so that I wouldn't have to struggle as much now. I would remind myself not to apply to schools so late becuase then maybe I would have gotten the chance to go to a school I really wanted to go to. Millersville University is not all bad, but wasn;t my first choice. In the beginning of senior year is when I really should have been paying attention to where I wanted to go and should have went on more collge tours. Overall I would tell myself to be prepared and not take college so lightly because it is hard work. I would tell myself to look up as many scholarships and grants as possible. Now that money is tight, I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back next fall.

  6. What's unique about your campus?

    I think the best thing about this school is the education program that they provide. The school makes it very difficult to be an education major here, so you have to work very hard to be in that major. I really enjoy the amount of opportunities that are given for these majors to go out into the field even in their first year. This way it is much easier for the student to figure out if this is what they really want to major in and to see if they will enjoy it.

  7. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    Many of the activities available to participate in require some form of money. Out of state tuition is OUTRAGEOUS! Out of state tuition is more than double the amount of in state tuition! There are so many general education requirements that I think waste my time and money; however, the university's excuse is they want to make us WELL rounded students.
