Being a local, I have basically grown up on Union's campus, yet everytime I walk around it takes my breath away. The people here are amazingly friendly, yet quietly brilliant. There is an air of relaxed confidence that everyone can feel. The professors are awesome and accessible, and likely to give out their cell phone numbers or invite you to dinner. Major programs are flexible, with many opportunities to create a program specific to your needs or interests.
Social life is diverse and ever-changing, with opportunities that range from Greek events, to Minerva house events, speakers, comedians, bands, local eateries, movies on campus, theatre productions, and campus-wide events. Spring term is off the hook.

I'm a sophomore at Union. I'm from the area but hadn't actually heard of Union until I became a junior in high school. The first time I walked on campus, I loved it. If I could have given the campus aesthetics higher than an A+, I would have. It's beautiful here all year round. The people are awesome, the professors are really accessible, the course load is manageable--challenging but plenty of time to have fun on campus. We're ranked #1 right now for campus activities, there's always an opportunity to do something. Academically, we have a variety of majors in everything from Engineering to East Asian Studies, and if you don't see one you want, you can make it yourself. The people here are friendly and open, there's a great sense of community and every time you walk around campus, you'll have students, faculty and staff waving hello.

I am currently a senior at Union College. My entire experience here has been nothing short of amazing. I have taken advantage of each and every oppurtunity that Union has to offer and that is one peice of advice that I can offer to every graduating senior. Wherever you go, be sure to be open to all the activities and programs and get invovled as much as you can.

I came into Union undecided in my major and chose psychology half way throughout my sophomore year. Union really gives all students that oppurtunity to explore and take advantage of the liberal arts education beyond their major. Psychology has been a great major for me! I am hoping to go into something in this field and the teachers have been more than accessible. My favorite psychology course was clinical psychology where each student was given his or her own patient and we had the oppurtunity to conduct clinical tests and diagnos our patient. I am also a history minor which involves taking about half the amount of classes of a major.

The surrounding area has great resturants, a mall close by, very accessible transportation, a movie theater, Proctors theater (many great plays and comedians) and a lot to do. Get involved with Schenectady! I have been tutoring at a local elementary school for the past four years and there are many other oppurtunities to get involved. Good luck with everything and again, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE!! It really goes by too fast!
