I had chosen not to attend the field trip to ESAB and Millersville University. Due to me opting out of the trip I had written a response based off of my previous trip to ESAB, and my research on Millersville University. Below is a copy of my written response.

Millersville University Research Essay
There was a handful of information I learned about Millersville University. They offer many undergraduate programs, have a safe location, and many facts about the university.
Millersville is located in Lancaster, and has a 5 out of 5 star rating for safety as a campus. As a female the safety of an university is an important factor of me wanting to attend. I found that it’ll cost about $21,000 for me to attend millersville university. This is much lower than other colleges. They are a division 2 school, and are ranked top 25 of public universities in the North. I did find that the average amount of students in each class is 29 students. That still isn’t a very large amount, but I would prefer to try to go somewhere with less students per teacher.
The undergraduate program I found most interesting was Chemistry. In this program the teach fundamentals of the fields involving chemistry. I’d like to become a Chemical Engineer, so the chemistry program would be a good chance to learn the basics. However, Millersville University doesn’t offer a chemical engineering program. That is why I would still think about attending this university, but will continue to look for other universities that may offer more of what I’d like to take. I still plan on taking a tour of the University next year or my senior year, because I don’t want to rule out a school before I have even given it a chance.
I also considered the applied engineering program they offer. It may not be the best, but it still is teaching the basic fundamentals. It would be nice to see how well this college would be to attend, because I’d be able to save money attending here compared to an expensive engineering school.

My biggest take-a-way was that I liked the work settings at ESAB for the engineers, and that Millersville University may not be the best option as a college for me.
