I love Union so much and I am glad to be part of the future of the campus.

Over all, for a Christian school, Union College is pretty great. It's not as great as some of it's competitor's, but it has a round about experience. Compared to significantly larger schools, I know all of my professors well and have many mentors in the staff and faculty here.
But yeah, the wifi isn't the best.

Union College is a truly great place to go to school. People are genuinely accepting and friendly. The small school size is great and teachers are more than helpful. We have a beautiful campus, like a giant park, with businesses and opportunities right across the street. If you like a homey feel with a solid education, Union is the place to be!

Great small campus. Great people, TONS of opportunities for growth both academically and spiritually. All the teachers are willing to work with you 1 on 1 with any questions that you have. ASB is actively involved on campus. Great Place, love it here.

This place sucks

Recruiters were convincing, but fell through on their promises. Residence and fiance office staff are very rude and unhelpful. The library is a joke unless you are studying theology. Campus is far from the city centre and city bus service a nightmare. I would not recommend this school to anyone

Very disappointed...

Only come here if you are nursing major, otherwise it's not worth it. You can get a quality education at a public university for less than half the price. The social life here is basically nonexistent. So, don't come here expecting to make friends for life; unless you are a self-righteous idiot. So, heed my warning. Stay away from this hell-hole.

You will thrive at Union College if you fit in with extremely conservative, closed-minded students and staff. The SDA beliefs are prioritized over the quality of education. The social life is nearly nonexistent on campus, and you are treated like children by the Dean's (strict curfew). In short, premium price for a mediocre education and experience

Union is A SDA religious school. Academically it is one of the worst schools in the Denomination. proffesors were in general not helpful, arrogant about that fact that it was your privledge to attend there. the dorm life was very destructive. they were uncerned about the saftey and well being of the students, when I attended.
