Awesome college with amazing students. Food is excellent. There are so many nice places to study. My only complaint is that the music department needs better leadership.

I was nervous going to a university, but they make you feel so welcomed! So many staff memorize your name to greet you as you walk around campus. It makes me feel bad because I can’t remember everyone’s names. The professors go above and beyond to help students! The president cares so much that he even shovels snow for students! So friendly

Union has been a wonderful college choice for me and truly a "Christian" institution in their values and priorities. The professors are really good at what they do and help you learn your stuff really well, and while they make you work hard, they prepare you real well for the world out there academically and spiritually.

I am so happy I went to Union. I appreciate the Christian culture so much; even though part of it is cultural Christianity, I think that is to be expected. These professors genuinely care for their students, and I've been able to form what I believe will be lifelong friends.
Overall 4.2
This school is filled with good professors who care about their students. The faculty and staff are always ready to help to the best of their ability. Although I personally find it a challenge in making friends, Union made it very easy. Their set up allows for complex intellectual debate, and places just to chill and grab a good cup of coffee.

Internet Filtering reflects repressive "Mommy-State" mentality of Admin. Most of the housing is horrid. putting academic depts, library, gym, pool, chapel, & admin offices all together in one big building = glorified high school approach .....
Overall 1.8
Would not recommend attending. This school did not take the pandemic seriously at all and allowed be gatherings and large family tours for prospective students. Very rude staff. Professors are not understanding. Very judge mental students. Very hard to get into the few clubs and groups on campus. Absolutely no diversity represented or encouraged.
Overall 1.9
This school is horrible. Unless you fit the perfect mold of what this school wants you will be miserable. People will lie about you and everyone will believe it with no proof because no one here has anything better to do. People will bully you to the point of attempting suicide and no one will do anything about it. Do not come here.

If you're looking to have a good time in college, Union isn't the place for you. You have a to work to do well in every class and the stupid chapel requirements don't make life easy. You'll have a hard time getting a better education and an even harder time finding a more boring place than Jackson.
