Review of University of Mount Union

from Canton, OH

Describe your college in three sentences.

Mount Union is a small campus with small class sizes allowing one on one attention from professors. Mount Union has a reputation of Excellence which students strive to keep everyday. We are a campus that is not only know for our academic achievements but also our athletic achievements.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

At Mount Union the best way to fit in is to get involved in any way you can. We are a small campus and therefore we depend on our campus life such as sports, Greek life and clubs to really allow you to stand out and get to know everyone on campus.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes are smaller and the curriculum is not easy but there is always tutoring and professor office hours available to keep you on track.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Mount Union dorms are much nicer than those you will see at most campuses in this area. We also have absolutely gorgeous upperclassman housing options such as townhouses, suites and apartment style living which almost spoils us before we head out into the real world.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

It's college campus food, that's all that can really be said. It is not bad by any means and there is a lot of variety but let's be honest, after a year of the same foods who wouldn't get sick of it? We do however have a cafe on campus as well as fast food and restaurants within walking distance of campus.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Unfortunately there is not very much to do in Allaince, OH however we always find a way to have fun. There is always some sort of sporting event going on, the university provides a free weekend movie, there is after hours trips to all kinds of places and of course there is the neighborhood bar and dance club.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

On campus between our lakes we have a kissing bridge which is legend to cause any couple that kisses on it to one day be married. This is just a Mount Union myth but it has come true for a few students. There are a few haunted fraternity myths that float around campus that make for a good scare during the holiday season.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you are an athlete of any kind you are definitely in the right place, we are known for our sports teams, mostly being our National Championship Football team. If you are interested in the arts, athletic training, pre-med, engineering, teaching or psychology we also have great programs in place that help students not only gain knowledge but line up future jobs through our strong alumni network.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Welcome to Mount Union where we have every club you can think of and for every interest type. Clubs vary from clubs based on majors, to religious clubs, to sports clubs, to even our newest addition the TOMS club.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

At Mount Union most of the campus has some form of Greek life affiliation. We have four sororities and four fraternities on campus as well as numerous service or educational fraternities. Greek life is a major part of Mount Unions history and accounts for much of the activities found on campus.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We are slowly becoming a walking campus which allows for less traffic through campus making walking to class and home much safer. We also have 24/7 security driving around campus as well as emergency towers that allow you to push a button and contact Alliance PD. This is still a college campus however so you still need to lock you car doors and not leave valuable items outside your townhouse, apartment or dorm.
