Union University Reviews
Rating 3.89 out of 5 691 reviews
I loved the opportunities to get involved and serve others on campus and in the community! I also enjoyed getting to know some of the professors on a personal basis, due in part to an event the school did every spring where professors would host a small number of students for dinner in their home. The faculty and staff were wonderful!
I would love to see more leadership courses in the business department! Even as a business major, there was only one class I took that really addressed how to lead and deal with people; most of my learning in that area occurred after graduation in the workplace.

Union is a Christian college so there isnβt a lot of partying. The professors are wonderful, fully invested in their students and wanting to make sure they understand the content. I play softball and love playing! The professors work well with the student athletes and their schedules. There is constantly activities going on around campus for students and plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Union University is a Southern Baptist affiliated school with an emphasis on placed on building a relationship with God and a rigorous academic workload. Union requires full commitment to academic endeavors if you want to succeed. The class sizes are small, so interactions and relationships with professors is very assessable. Union is home to a nationally ranked girls basketball team and home to other sports such as baseball, softball, cross country, golf, and soccer. Intermurals and Greek life are a big part of the student life for the average student attending Union. Campus and Facilities are in prestine condition and are constantly being updated and upgraded. Not your traditional college expirence, but if you're looking for a second to none education, look no place other than Union University.
