| Quite Bright | I had really high hopes coming to Millersville. I thought it would be the best four years of my life. I could not have been more wrong. After being here for a month I wanted to go home all the time. Most students come from the Philly area and there are some kids here who seem boarder line retarded. Most students are rather lazy and really few seem to actually care about their grades. Some professors are okay, but some are just awful. I cannot wait to transfer out of here, it will be the best day of my life. There is absolutely no point in coming here unless you want to be a teacher. There is zero school pride and all the school activities are on week nights when I have work to do. The weekends are terrible. SO MANY PEOPLE go home. There aren't many people who live on campus anyways, there is a lot of commuters. All there is to do on the weekends is go to the disgusting house parties that are a 20 minute walk away. This place is awful DO NOT COME HERE. If you do then you had better get used to using the phrase "I hate my life" | Collaboration/Competitive: B, Individual Value: F |  | | |

Millersville is a terrible school and I would not recommend it to any individual that is considering enrollment. Here are just a few reasons why you should stay far away, I can't be hassled to list them all.
1. Your surrounded by idiots. Example: During my senior year in a 400 level class my friend and I sat in the back of the class, paid no attention and did absolutely no studying for our tests. Before taking our first test we saw numerous students studying their 20 page study guides they completed (on their own time) and when we received our tests results they received 80-90% scores while my buddy and I each received a 100% on the rest. It was simple test, but not for most Millersville students.
2. I know numerous individuals that left the college because they either tried to kill themselves (sadly not a joke) or simply couldn't handle the stupid people that attend the university. I personally felt like transferring at the end of each semester.
3. Classes are easy and professors are boring. I went to Millersville for a degree in business management and not once did I need to write a business plan. I wrote four 30+ page business plans when I was in high school...
4. There are no good parties and the fraternities are filled with douche bags (though they used to be good) and the sororities are filled with girls that *think* they are good looking.
5. Faculty are a bunch of idiots for the most part, though, I did have a handful of professors that I thought did a great job. The best professors I had are the ones that challenged me... not the ones that would just give an easy A. I honestly could go on and on but I get frustrated thinking about this terrible school. I've been waiting over a month now to receive my diploma in the mail and when I try to ring the registrar office to ask for an update... well... the phone system transfers me to a voice mail message and disconnects me before a message can be recorded. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! | Campus Maintenance: A, Education Quality: F |  | | |

| Super Brilliant | Well i am currently a freshman, and this university is like most universities people self segregate themselves and mostly hangout with people who are of the same race as them. You can see this especially in the dining halls especially the galley. Most of the organizations are segregated too. Academics is good but you are going to be bored out of your freakin mind if you don't "party" and drink. The campus is also boring and is dead on the weekends because most of the people commute. My advice is if you don't live that far, don't waste your money and commute because there is hardly anything to do on campus. There is nothing good in the borough of Millersville and nothing good in Lancaster city. Half way through my freshman year i know so many people who want to transfer and go somewhere else because they believed the hype about Millersville and came here and realized it isn't what it is cracked up to be. | Scholastic Success: A+, Social Life: F |  | | |

i tried to be as fair as possible but i really cant hold back on how badly this campus has treated me, and how much i literally became sick with it. this campus is soooo anti-social. i am a social person who gets along great with people. i had an excellent time with people in HACC, working at hershey park, radioshack, sprint wherever and always made friends. not changing one bit, i was excited to go to millersville because it was my first university and my first dorm experience. lets just say that was the worst idea i have ever thought. as soon as i got in the dorms in 8/2008 i met my roommate in gilbert hall and they have the men on the first and 3rd floor and the women in the 2nd floor. the guys were very clicky and not so open. alot of them had closed doors like everyone does, and its very christian but not christian in a good way, i mean the extreme dont stare at me cause its a sin christian. yes, Christianity does have some extremism in lancaster county, PA like muslims have it in iraq. so because they didnt socialize, i went downstairs to the girls to get to know them and introduce myself. being friendly and talking to the girls is a no-no to the campus. automatic harrassment and stalker fines from MUPD. also the campus has it publically known everywhere especially girls dorm halls about the statistics of rape and girls watch out for men and so on. that campus is very sexist with no equality of watching out for women or warnings for men. so back to my story, i had to go to court and was proven innocent. was threatened with a wrench and the school did nothing but gave him a warning and said boys will be boys. its now 1/2009 and give it a try again, move to a different dorm. hated it. very anti social people and now you have to be on guard with women, very clicky. its now 8/2009 and repeating calculus for the 3rd time at the campus because of inability to focus due to stress, school not willing to help me out, constant complaints, everything you can imagine is going wrong. this time i just dont care anymore. not talking to noone as friends and just gunna help out people. well turns out thats even bad. i said to one girl who barely showed up to class that if she needs notes im willing to give her notes, well she went to the equal affairs building and said im harrassing and stalking her and went to my professor who almost kicked me out. i pleaded my case and went to judicial and equality affairs and judicial found me innocent again, while equality just told me to stop talking to them. fair enough. but equal affairs has this one woman in there who is a bitch (this one->http://www.millersville.edu/socialeq/img/index_1.jpg)to deal with. and they arent equal at all unless your woman or black.
MUPD deserves its own section. located in the lebanon house on george street in millersville, PA. everyone of those police officers are corrupt, 1 sided, and ticket hungry EXCEPT FOR SGT.officer melvin. every parking spot is checked from MUPD and will give you a ticket for parking. they check students myspace and facebook, and again doesnt care to hear what male students have to say. once i told MUPD about a student friend of mine that i felt was in danger and told me she was being chased by people. well they checked it alright, only 2 mins later to put 4 charges on me saying harrassing/stalking/disrupting peace/ and some other one. got everything on my facebook and questioned my other statuses. they called me once at 10.30pm and told me hey we got some good news for you, but we need your help. can you come to the station. and responded its late but fine and drove the hour to go to the station, only to be detained for 2 hours with no cause and charges held on me. **cking liars. later they found the girl made false accusations, and was found innocent
all in all, i know it seems theres alot of things going on and seems wrong with me, but i was found innocent with everything and have no record at millersville due to keeping everything i had said to me on file. i want to warn EVERYONE.... DO NOT GO TO MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY! its only a teachers school, thats it. millersville is a small town, small minded, and no social place in the middle of amish and country ville. if you dont care about social life they go ahead the teachers are great except for the meteorology advisor clark who barely is in his office. other then the classes, they improvise every outside class like oceanography students have to go to VA, and pay thier own way instead of the school, to expensive and hard to understand books to tight space campus. anyone who is male student, minority, or going for a degree other then teaching get out now or dont go there. as for me, 12/2009 is my last semester and im leaving to a different school but very upset im delayed 1 year
if you plan on attending heres some tips:
ikenaga or zhan for math
gordinier has the best food for the value
move into shenks or brookwood
AEA and acacia is best sorority and fraternity but wouldnt recommend having relationships with these people either
kumar is probably your best person to talk to about marine/weather specialty.
park in the 30 mins spots, they barely check those spots
the cove is really expensive
starbucks in the SMC is best hangout spot
for a dorm... id probably recommend diehm but thats cause people were in the halls alot. ofcourse at night, it was pitiful to see a couple having sex in the laundry room.
the pond is next to lyle and gilbert hall, they have 2swans,geese and ducks. when its 10 degrees out, you can walk on the pond. make sure to see your advisor BEFORE registering. they wont give you the TAP number to register for classes. AGAIN, CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. FIND A BETTER SCHOOL. THIS ONE IS SOO MUCH DRAMA | Faculty Accessibility: A, Education Quality: F |  | | |
