Millersville University of Pennsylvania

I originally began my college career undeclared and then pursued Early Childhood Education. However, I eventually decided to change my career plans and wanted to switch my major to Psychology. My advisor at Millersville was flexible while I transitioned from one major to another. I worked with my advisor to manage my course load because I still wanted to make sure I graduated within 4 years or less. Even with all of the changes I made, I still managed to graduate in 3.5 years, and I even had time... Read More to pick up a minor in Sociology. The professors in the psychology department and sociology department were very well educated.

As far as aesthetics, the campus was fairly spacious and had plenty of green space to hang out. The dorms were being renovated as I was graduating. As far as I know, all dorms are suite-style now. There are also several options to live off-campus, but within walking distance. Several dining halls were located on campus and some small restaurants were within walking distance from campus. Millersville had a lot of events available for students, including an annual concert, a homecoming parade, and some other "carnival type" activities. Also, the gym was pretty nice and students had access to free exercise classes. Intramural sports were also available. The campus is also located close to downtown Lancaster which offers a lot of events and nightlife. I would recommend Millersville to prospective students.

This school provides a decent liberal-arts education at an affordable price. There are a wide variety of degree programs to pursue, and there is an equally-large variety of course options within each program. Professors are kind and very dedicated to their students, but the courses are not the most academically-demanding.

I spent four full time years at Millersville university pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education. I still rave about the education that I received while I was there. Many students come out of an education and feel that they were not prepared for what a real classroom would throw at them. Both of my full time teaching jobs since graduation have been in low income areas, and Millersville, while in a rural area, really prepared me for what I would be encountering in low income areas....

I had a very beneficial experience at Millersville University of Pennsylvania. The curriculum was vigorous at times but the instructors were helpful and passionate about what they were teaching. Teaching and students are the main focus at Millersville. My favorite aspect of the instruction at Millersville is that every class is taught by the instructor, as opposed to teaching assistants.
