Review of University of Mount Union

from Minerva, OH

Describe your college in three sentences.

As a student transferring to a new school halfway through her sophomore year of college, I found Mount Union a tremendously easy school to fit into! I loved the atmosphere that made me feel at home, the friendly students, and the personal relationships with professors! I would recommend the University of Mount Union to any student looking for a school where you form close bonds with peers and professors, and always feel like you are of importance!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

At the University of Mount Union, you are challenged to put your best foot forward! Whether it be in the classroom or in extra-curricular activities! Mount Union provides a worthwhile education for its students and teaches you material you will need to carry with you for a lifetime! So be ready to challenge yourself in the classroom and on campus for a rewarding experience that you will carry with you for a lifetime.

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

Classes are challenging, but with plenty of studying and attending class regularly, keeping up with grades shouldn't be a problem!

Describe the dorm life at your college.

As for me, moving into the dorm halfway through the semester I was worried about not making friends. Soon I found this to be the least of my worries! The residents were more than welcoming! As a floor, we would occasionally attend dinner together, or just all hang out in the dorms. I also had friends outside of my dorm too, so i wasn't stuck with the girls on my floor 24/7. An equal balance can be created!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Mount Union has a variety of food selections! There is always a salad bar, soups, sandwiches, some type of international food, ice cream, and much more!!! Mount also provides late night, which is a snack that is different each night of the week!

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

As a small campus, mount provides a plethora of activities for students to get involved in! It has greek life, environmental organizations, intra mural teams, amazing sports teams, great theater program, and a recreational center to work out in on your own time!

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

I cannot begin to express my love for Mount Union, it has so much to offer! From the great educational programs, to fun dorm life, to student based organizations, mount has it all! There is never a dull moment. People say time flies when you're having fun, and that is why I am afraid my time at Mount Union is going to go way too fast!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

At mount we have The Rock. It is located in the quad and students paint it for any reason they can think of. It has been painted to promote events going on that week, for birthdays, even marriage proposal! Legend says the rock started out as a pebble, and each layer of paint has made it bigger and bigger until it reached it boulder size it is now. Also, we have the Kissing Bridge. Legend has it that when a couple kisses on the bridge, that is who you are going to marry!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for students outgoing and shy! If you are shy, the school will allow you to be yourself, while slowly coming out of your shell to get to know others.
