Hey there! I would love to apply Union College for ED as international student. However, I am bit confused what's Union considers the most when accepting student? Like they have no supplemental essays at all..Also what's SAT score makes me eligible for full-ride?

Hello, I am freshman CS major with relatively avg first yr courses.
I heard the San Francisco program is competitive. What steps should I take throughout freshman yr to get a decent chance applying this yr.
Any perspective/advice is welcomed 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks :)
I play an instrument but I'm not in any of the musical ensembles. Does anyone know if I could still use the practice rooms?
I can't find it on the website. I'm not sure if I'm just not looking in the right place or what, but yeah.
Thanks in advance!
I didn’t go to convocation last year but this year since I made Deans list I thought I should go.
I know there is but I can’t find them
Basically the title lol. I need a good strat
When I went to Union there was a little known story about a student who passed away in the 1980s in the attic of Gamma Phi. When I lived in Hickok House you would randomly hear running down the hallway and no one would be there and doors would slam shut. We all always joked about it. Supposedly his name was Brian and all of his belongings were still in the attic because his parents hadn’t picked them up (one of my sisters claimed to have seen it). At my reunion we were all talking about it and I am wondering if anyone knows if this story is true?
Interning ? Leetcoding ? Projects ?

Hi! I am a student who has looked into union college and id like some opinions from others. I recently have visited the campus and I fell in love to say the least. I have a few questions on how other students feel about certain things!
I apologize if these questions seem silly, Id just like to know students perspective before I ED! Thank you!!
Hello! I am trying to assist my nephew as he get ready to transition to college. Have you guys gotten your fall semester bill and schedule yet?
So, I'm an incoming freshman pursuing a double major in Computer Science and Managerial Economics and a minor in Data Analytics. I just received my course schedule for the Fall 2024 term, and I have only three classes—MTH-113, FYI-100, and ECO-134. Is it normal not to have any CS classes in my first term, especially since I'm a CS major?
Are there any upcoming first years who also don’t drink or do drugs? I just wanna be friends with some people who don’t 😭

On Union's website, it states that we aren't allowed to bring and install air conditioners in the dorms. However, there is central air conditioning and heating in the dorms/ residences, right?
Can anyone tell me what this means in actual practice? I was just informed that the floor of the dorm I was assigned is now designated as "quiet" . I am not necessarily against this but don't want to be in a position where I can't play music or have friends over.
Is it impossible to remove the built in desk element attached to the dorm bed? I imagine most people don't actually use them. They look terrible. (At least the ones in Richmond.) I'd like to either use a lap desk or literally anything else in order to reclaim the space it occupies. Any other clever room-arranging tips? If one bed is, say against the window wall, and the other bed is along one of the room walls, and neither had their desks, it opens up a lot of options in the room. Especially if you loft the bed and tuck in the dresser and end table underneath. Thanks!
Are there any kitchens on the dorm floors or buildings that students can use?
im an incoming freshman at Union and was offered work study. can someone tell me which jobs require the least amount of work? i need a job which may allow me to do homework while im at it.
I registered for pre-orientation but there wasn't an option for a waiver anymore so I was wondering if I'd still be able to get that waiver? I don't have the money to pay for pre-orientation.
EDIT: wasn’t able to get a waiver but they told me they’ll look out for scholarships or gift fundings for me.
If they don’t drink or get high? Is there a social scene that could worn for her?
If someone majors in civil engineering g, can they still minor in Psych? What about majoring in psych and minoring in engineering?
Whats it like for Asian girls there? Seemed very white.
Hi! I’m an incoming freshman on the pre med track hoping to get a job at a nearby hospital as a medical scribe or PCT, that requires little to no experience or certification as I have none. Any recommendations for good hospitals in the town or nearby towns? Any advice?
Hello all,
I am a visitor to Union college for a late summer internship and was wondering if I can find a place to live for a couple of months? I am easy going graduate student in Indiana and will be very grateful if someone has a apartment/sublet that I can take in ? Thanks in advance!
The college does not have an official video of it. Hoping someone had family record it. Thx.
Can anyone tell me if there are any additional merit based/talent based scholarships that union gives? I got a good aid but the remaining amount to be paid is still a lot and I am in a dire need for 6-7k dollars/annum more.
