Big Picture
Union has a beautiful campus. The size is just right, its not so small everyone knows everyones business but its small enough that you will know someone wherever you go on campus.Union has a division 1 Hockey team which has a ton of support from the student body and faculty alike.
Academic Life
The teachers at Union are great! They are always available to give extra help, meet outside of class or even offer advice on things outside of class. They are organized and have very easy to follow teaching styles. My favorite class is the Illustrated Organism, it combines biology with art and scientific writing. We write scientific papers based on illustrations we have done on a particular subject, for example Evolution of the Flower with illustrations of various flowers that support the writing. Students usually study a couple hours a day and leave weekend homework til Sunday.
Student Body
Most students are from NY, NJ, CT, MA. The student body here is not concerned with differences in race, religion, sexuality or economic status. Most students would fit in well here. The majority of students seem to be jewish or white. Most students wear jeans to class, it is less common to see students in sweats or pajamas here at Union outside of the dorms. Students rarely talk about how much they'll earn one day, personally I have never experienced it.
The Best Things
Student activities, the dorms are great too
