Union is a great place if you are looking for a private conservative Christian college with quality education. Their nursing, PA and education programs are some of the best in the region and nation. Their pre-med program for many years had 100% acceptance to medical schools. I had to work part time to help pay school, and the alumni gave back with scholarships and helped pay about a third of my tuition and room and board! Many teachers would pray before each class and would even pray with you individually. It’s a small college which means great teacher-student ratio. Unlike public university with one teacher per 200-400 students, at Union, if I’m not mistaken it was one teacher per 12 students or something around that.

In addition, the fun doesn't end after you graduate. One day, the time will come when you need to defer your student loans... only to have some kid of a faculty member who has a job processing such information (even though they are unbelievably unqualified) misfile or loose your deferment request... not once, not twice, but three times over a two year period. Incompetent, unnecessary, overpriced, and...
Read moreCame here to consider whether I'd want to attend their school for college, and it was a wonderfully whole experience. The students and staff were all very friendly, and were willing to answer any questions or concerns I had regarding the campus. Their facilities were mostly up to date, and the campus is also a short distance from convenience stores and restaurants, which was also a plus. Although I may not end up attending this college, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Union and would encourage any unsure students to visit it and see if it's the...
