Review of Union University

from Mays Landing, NJ

Will learn a lot

The academics really appeal to me greatly, seeing that I love to study and am highly motivated to achieve great academic success. Their nursing program is incredibly state-of-the-art.

Will enjoy being here

Union has a great campus, which is clean, friendly, and quiet. The only thing that I felt I needed to say is for Creationist Christians. I contacted Union and asked them about their stand on evolution, and their response was very disappointing. They said that we have not yet formulated a positional statement on evolution and also said in response to the validity of evolution: whether it is true or not. Obviously, they seemed to be quite wishy-washy in their stance on evolution. So, I suggest you weigh this into your decision, for those of you who believe in God's literal six-day Creation. I know I am weighing this in my heart, and praying about it.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I believe it'll be well worth it. However, it is very expensive, and even though my parents could afford it, it is a great deterrant to me. I have viewed and visited other schools that are less expensive, but what it boils down to is Union seems worth the cost for what you're getting. A private bedroom for each student is by far one of the greatest deciding factors for me in my search for a college. I believe that kind of privacy is very important for young adults. We're not children growing up in a Walton-sized household! I have my own room and like to keep it that way! I'm not anti-social, mind you, it's just nice to have your own space and your own life, if you know what I mean. I slept over in the dorms and their awesome!!!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Visit! I've visited colleges and the very ones I thought I was going to love and adore, I pretty much was disappointed with when I visited. So, really, spend the money to go visit the school! It's better to spend 1k to go and visit, then to enroll without a visit and be in a mess! Plus, with visiting, you will most likely know your answer after you're done!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you desire academic excellence, I believe I can rightfully recommend Union to you.
