Overall, Millersville is a good school. It's not great, but it doesn't suck either. I came, I learned a few things, and I got a good job after I graduated.

Going into Millersville I was very excited and I must admit I was drawn in by the beautiful campus.. well, so much for that. I wish I had looked more into the school, and I will be transferring next semester as a junior. The school attitude is terrible, everyone dislikes it here. It's declining more and more every semester, even my friends that graduated years ago have said so. It's just really obvious that this school is in disrepair from an incompetent president and now that she is retiring early, were just kind of left with a sucky campus. Hopefully the new pres will take over and do something great but I won't stick around to watch it probably not happen. Oh, and if you plan on coming to this school I hope you don't need a library cause we don't have one. Construction is literally taking over the entire campus and it is so ugly. And us crazy student body needs a library, but instead the school gave us nothing. The SMC is beautiful, I will say that. The students are pretty arrogant and closeminded but of course, there are some wonderful people that I have met here.

The psychology program is kind of a joke. Most of the professors are nice but there aren't many opportunities to "stand out" in the major. There basically isn't a psych club either, which I wanted to get into when I started but all you do is watch movies, it's really lame. Although I have heard great things about the teaching program, and I do think that is the only gem of Millersville.All in all, if you want to be mediocre Millersville is a great school. The money you spend here honestly won't be worth your education as they raise tuition so much because of construction every year.

Nursing majors: Beware! They will screw up your classes and you'll find yourself taking classes YOU DIDN'T NEED! Horrible advice, class advisor doesn't read emails and before you know it, you're taking a class blowing a grand on something you didn't need for the degree!!! Not just me, others, too (OK 3 others, but 1 is too many)! The reason? Unread emails, unread transcripts. One guy took a class he already took (why didn't he speak, why didn't they notice)?

You will find MANY students in this region do NOT have command of their own native language. I have never encountered this at other universities or even community colleges. This is unique to this part of the country. Read reviews here and you'll see many don't have a handle on the language of the land (not ebonics; that's everywhere-- all races have issues with American dialect English here)!

I graduated last year and I can honestly say with a straight face that I did not learn a single new thing that will help me. The BSN program is just a scam of busywork some idiot created we ALL already had in our original program. I also can attest to the fact there IS favoritism (luckily I was on the recipient-side) but this is unfair to those not on the bad end of favoritism/racism/ageism.

Perhaps it's the grammar and spelling (basic grade school stuff) that turns them on you, I don't know (but if you write a paper or participate in online class content, learn your own language or pay in grades)!I can also say, being on the receiving end, I did not earn the grades I made, nor did I deserve them. I agree classes were either bonehead easy (busywork guaranteed A) or incredibly difficult. This is unfortunate, because if they cleaned out administration, this place would have a lot of potential.
