Millersville is NOT a school that I would recommend…for anyone. One of the most significant arguments is that Millersville is one of the best schools for Educations, but it's really no better than a lot of other in-state schools. Spare yourself the pain and go elsewhere.

Lancaster County is a bit of deadbeat place: not much to do, a massive majority of people here have lived here their whole life and have little cultural perspective, it's just a very conservative and closed-minded area. "Downtown" Lancaster does have a few cool spots but, again, not enough to keep you entertained for a semester much less four years.

Millersville itself is currently under massive construction to the complete neglect of it's student population. Soon, the library will be closing for two years. Getting around all of the construction zones completely negates what little beauty the campus has to begin with.

Academically, it's a bit of a joke. The classes are either insultingly simple or so unbelievable and unfairly demanding, I've rarely come upon a good balance. The course selection and registration process is an absolute nightmare.

Overall, Millersville isn't the worst school in the world. It's just not a good one. It's a very small place and you feel stifled being stuck in the middle of nowhere in what feels like a bubble. I spent one semester away from Millersville at another university through an exchange program and I will NEVER go back having experienced what college can truly be.
