Students have two options:
- Go to the fair only from 9:20- 10:30
- Stay and take a tour of Millersville University’s campus from 10:30- 11:30 – you will need a packed lunch
Even if you have ZERO interest in MU it would be great to take a tour so that you learn what to ask on a tour, and what to look for when taking a tour.
