Curtis from Northfield, MN
union is located in lincoln, nebraska, which contrary to popular belief is not in the middle of a cornfield. union is small enough to know most people and say hi to them as you walk around campus. service is emphasized and led by student groups.
PurpleDolphin
I transferred from a community college so I've been in college before Union. It was so amazing!! The teachers care about you as a person and not just a grade. They encourage discussion and produce different viewpoints so that you can make your own decision.
