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?

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. As for those who are social, it is a great place to meet other social butterflies! It is also a school meant for students who have goals set for themselves and take their school work seriously.
