Student reviews

Professors

Student

The professors at Union are the best part to me, since the school is so small and religious it seems to me that is easier to get in touch with professors and they have more compassion than would be possible with larger class sizes. If you are not in the nursing program there is no reason to ever come to Union. It is a university but it feels more like a boarding high school since there are strict rules and not enough money to have good activities or sports teams.

Student

Union College has a lot to offer starting with the one-on-one attention a student can get. Professors connect with students and they do soup suppers at their home so that we can attend. They are constantly checking up on our well-being and our mental health too. At Union College it feels like you are cared for and you are seen.

Student

The professors and students at Union are super friendly + helpful! The professors truly care not just about your academics but about your mental health as well. The other students are notorious for organizing study groups in the library as well as fun things to do on the weekend!
