The academics at Union are impeccable. From the president to the part-time professor, you can see their goal to make each student better. I have learned so much already about how to make a difference in a specific field. Union prides itself on being a liberal arts college, therefore, its goal is to make each student well rounded in all areas of life and education. The classes are smaller therefore allowing a better relationship with professors and better understanding of the curriculum.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Union's atmosphere is inviting and active. Although Jackson is small compared to places like Memphis and Nashville, students still find fun activities to do off-campus as well as doing a lot on-campus. On-campus activities can range from greek life to debate team to wellness activities like Zumba or intramurals. Off-campus you can find coffee shops, shopping centers, running/biking trails, and much more. One of the favorite things students enjoy are concerts at the on campus coffee lounge, Barefoot Joes. Artists such as the Civil Wars, Andy Davis, and Derek Webb have performed there.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
While Union is on the expensive side, it is definitely worth it for the education. Union is a top accredited school in all areas of academics. The School of Nursing, School of Education, and School of Pharmacy have all been recognized for the education they provide. It is also in the top tier of schools in its category for the 13th straight year in the U.S.News & World Report college rankings.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure to visit on a preview day or when students are on campus. It is much more exciting because you get to see interaction between students or you even be able to sit in on a few classes. Make sure to talk to the financial aid office. They are always willing to help and would never want a student to be turned away due to financial status.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who love a smaller atmosphere with many opportunities to get involved in activities and leadership. Dorms allow for students to have their own room while sharing either one or two bathrooms, a living area and a kitchen.
