Union College
- Facilities

Constantly Updated for Science/Engineer Students

The Union College facilities are great--if you're an engineering student. Union is an engineering school, and a liberal arts school second. Many of the social sciences have lost their residences because there simply isn't room for them, pushing them to many random buildings across campus. The engineering students have everything at their disposal, and it seems that the college updates buildings only for those students.

Campus Activities

There is so much to do at Union. Greek Life is a large part of the experience, but so are the programs being run by the continually evolving Minerva House system. All students are assigned to a house at the beginning of their career at Union, and each house is granted a relatively large sum of money to run/host events and activities for the Union community. There is also a movie shown every weekend at eight and again at ten and sporting events are exceptionally attended, particularly the Dutchman hockey games.

Union College: a Personal Touch

The different facilities on campus are great. The library has an enormous collection of books and students can even use the inter-loan library when needed. Not to mention they are able to access course reserves and the catalog online. The library is very quiet and there is always a place to sit. Not to mention there are group study rooms that are sound proof and give students an option to watch a class film on the televisions in the rooms. Aside from the library, there are a ton of campus activities. From the concert committee to the black student union, students always have plenty of options to acquire the full Union experience. Not to mention Union College has a Minerva Program. This program enhances academics, leadership, and socialization. Not only are there a number of study rooms and classrooms provided in each Minerva for professors to hold their classes, but a number of departments hold events for the students to get to know the professors on a personal basis. The program encourages leadership as you are able to run for a position on your Minerva board, help plan events, and decide how to spend the budget. The Minerva program enhances socialization because events are held at the houses where students can become engaged and expand their social circle.
