I love this school! It is extremely safe, and I could not recommend it enough. It is around so many amazing things such as Lancaster City, the Park City Mall, and the Tanger Outlets in Lancaster.

As a commuter, I am happy with this school.

I enjoyed my time at Millersville. I did question if it was the right choice, but being involved in clubs and a campus job helped me like it here a lot more. I absolutely loved the art dept. and had so many opportunities within my major (Art Ed & BFA). The food is decent, there's things I don't like, but there's also things I ate all the time.

I have had the best time here at Millersville! I transferred in after my freshman year and I am so glad I did. The students are friendly and welcoming, the professors truly care about their students and the social scene is great if you get out to meet people. The food is typical dining hall food, not a 5 star meal, but it's college.

Very safe school and great education and social opportunities

Great school. I live an hour away so its a home away from home for me. Since I came in 2015 the campus has evolved a lot. New buildings etc
Overall 4.1
Truly love this school! With all colleges, you need to put in an effort to have a good experience. This school should 100% get more credit than it does!

Happy with my choice to come here. Faculty generally genuinely cares about students. Undergrads are encouraged to help conduct research. Lots of opportunities.

Do not come here. As a senior undergrad, I can tell you that this place is deteriorating every year.

I graduated from this university. It is my opinion that a particular student gender is NOT truly safe here. This is my word of caution for future students.
Overall 1.7
My time spent as a student at Millersville was awful. Don't come here for government and political affairs. The professors are arrogant, rude, and unhelpful. Don't answer their emails and aren't available for office hours. One professor said it's okay to get bad grades! It's not okay if you want to actually graduate. Switched my major.

I've honestly hated my time at this school. I transferred in and had no tour of the school like the freshmen do. My dormmate went through my stuff and stole money from me and as a result, I was moved and they didn't have any repercussions. My next dormmate took scissors to half my closet. Nothing was done about it. Also, so much food poisoning.

This is my third semester at Millersville and the only thing keeping me here is the organization I am apart of. This school does not seem to care about their students, however the new president is on the verge of changing that stigma. He is very nice. They claim that this school is very safe however I have had some terrifying interactions around MU

Cheap school, but you get LESS than you pay for here. Don't make the MU MISTAKE!

Millersville is a pool of uncultured disgusting people who seem to enjoy gaining nothing but boredom. The professor's are decent depending on the department you are in.
Overall 1.8
Right now the school is not Title IX Compliant--which means if you ever have an issue in that category (assault, sexual harassment, etc.) ESPECIALLY if committed by a professor/staff member, you will not be helped at all. The last TIX Coordinator left the school because he reported to the president that they were non-compliant and was ignored.
