All in all, I fell in love with Union College as soon as I stepped foot on campus. It is absolutely beautiful and the people there are just the same - everyone is so friendly and easy to talk to! Also, the financial aid package I received from them was awesome!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't go in closed-minded. Always give every college you visit a chance. That's what I did and it turns out that I loved the school way more than I thought I actually would.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
From what I've seen, Union takes great pride in their academics. Even though it is a liberal arts college, their science programs seem incredibly rigorous and accredited.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It's a typical dorm room - nothing too different from other colleges.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
When I visited, I ate in the upperclassmen dining hall. The food was SO delicious and much better than some of the other food I've eaten at other colleges. I'm not sure about the freshmen dining hall but if it was anything like the upperclassmen, it's amazing.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I've lived in the approximate area (about 15 minutes away) of Union College for all of my life. There's a lot to do, whether it be going to hockey games, shopping, walking through the city (never alone or at night, though). There's also a lot of great little cafes and restaurants in the nearby area.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The academics are highly respectable and it's not likely that you'll leave having no career options. Make sure you participate in extracurricular activities, though!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Not that I know of but, I'm sure there are many that I'll soon find out about!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
People who want a great education that's affordable! Also, make sure you love hockey (and you hate RPI ;) )!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many awesome opportunities to participate in clubs, intramural sports,and other activities.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I don't know much about Greek life but I'd be willing to check it out. It seems like a fun and interesting opportunity to get to know people and make friends outside of my respective major.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Security is top notch. Going off campus at night is not a threat unless you go out alone, which is a REALLY bad idea.
