Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Unity. Since 2023, I have been a full-time online student at Unity after transferring from a nearby 4-year University due to work and scheduling conflicts and financial necessity. I could not have made a better choice. The professors are all excellent communicators and will work with you as long as you work with them.

Student

Fast paced 5 week classes with set deadlines. The mix of flexible schedules and consistent due dates works great for my lifestyle. Online portal is easy to navigate and you have plenty of support from your advisor, teacher, and a tutor resource through your student portal.

Student

I believe Unity Environmental University is a fantastic college for furthering one's education. I am thrilled to be able to attend Unity for my degree in Wildlife Conservation. The diverse courses assist any student in becoming well-rounded environmental advocates. I have no suggestions for change. Unity is perfect the way it is.

I would absolutely recommend Unity to college to anyone who wants to be in the environmental field, and because of my experience, I would recommend college to everyone!

Current Student

I am a second bachelors student studying Wildlife ConservatIon at Unity College. The whole process of enrolling was super easy with the admissions counselor. Any questions that I asked was quickly responded back with phone or email. I am soo excited to start my classes at Unity first thing tomorrow!

Current Student

So far so good. My admissions advisor. ( Allison Burt)was quite helpful and knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly. She clearly broke down my financial aid award so that I understood completely how the school disburses funds.

Student

I’m just starting out at Unity and it has been a wonderful experience so far. Everyone I have come into contact with has been extremely helpful and kind, while they walk me through the process.

Student

I began my journey at Unity in October 2022, driven by a passion for marine biology and a desire to build a better future for my four children. While some instructors have inspired me, others—and especially the school counselors—have left me confused and unsupported. I’ve been enrolled in courses I didn’t choose, had my career goals overlooked, and received no clear answers about my financial aid status until it was too late.
