No Pressure Here...

Before coming to Union, I was worried about the drug scene. However, after being here for almost a year I can honestly say it is no different than at any other school. There is no peer pressure, if you want to do drugs or drink alcohol, you can. If you don't want to, there are plenty of options involved with the U Program going on all the time. Most of the U Programs involve winning something, like an iPad or restaurant gift certificates. For those who do want to drink, if you are smart about it, you will never face getting written up by an RA or getting points on the discipline system. The school accepts that some college students drink, as long as you are not in danger they will look the other way.

Why Would You Ever Want to Go Anywhere Else...

Union is the best choice I have ever made. The trimester system makes it easier to focus on your classes, though the work schedule is much harder and we typically go through 3-5 chapters in a textbook per week. It never seems overwhelming though. The breaks don't coincide with other colleges, but it allows you to visit your friends at their schools. A good amount of people here had Union as their second choice, after an Ivy League School, so they believe they are almost too good for the school. However, Union is ranked higher than many Ivy's in Most Valuable Degree and Most Things to Do On Campus. Union invented Fraternities, so there is a heavy emphasis on the Greek Life. Honestly, if you do not plan on going to a Fraternity once in your life, you may be bored as more than 75% of people choose this option on weekends. But there are always free movies, bingo, and other things going on. Union is awesome, everyone should come here.
