Union is an amazing school- academically, athletically, and socially!
Our engineering program is top notch- everyone is incredibly intelligent and works hard. We also have fantastic psychology and political science departments (although all departments are pretty strong). Most students complete a thesis and many are published before graduation- which is a huge deal for undergrads.
Union was a party school in the early 2000s when drugs and frats reigned supreme- but things are changing. We still have a very active Greek life- and everyone loves a great party- but the stereotypes of blondes with pearls and douche's with bmw's don't apply anymore. Yes, we are ranked the #5 party school in the nation, but that doesn't do us justice. We do so much more than have a good time on the weekends. We were also ranked the #11 most beautiful school- the campus is gorgeous and the men and women aren't shabby either. We may be hot, but we're not shallow. We all hit the gym (or at least look like we do) but we also occasionally wear sweatpants to class.
Our Hockey Team is D1 and absolutely fantastic! Last year we were ranked #4 in the nation. We consistently beat out Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth and going to a home game is one of the best experiences. Our D3 teams are also fantastic.
We may be smart, have money, and win championships but we don't need to try too hard because we know who we are. We're Union. We're the best.

High school senior: I read on urban dictionary that Union College is just a fratty party school for rich white kids.
UNION STUDENT: It isn't 2006 anymore. Union is great, yes we know how to party (but what college kid doesn't?) but we're also smart, talented, and athletic!
High school senior: Oh, maybe I should check it out then.
UNION STUDENT: Absolutely!

A 2,000-student college in northwestern Massachusetts, Williams College has been ranked #1 by US News and World Report for several years in a row. It also dominates in sports. Founded in 1793, it has a beautiful campus in Berkshire Mountains, close to the famous Clark Art Institute and Mass MoCa in neighboring North Adams. Strong in all subjects, Williams is especially noted for its dominance of the art history world, having alums in charge of many major American art museums. Also has by far the largest endowment—1.5 billion dollars—of any college of comparable size. Students come from all over the U.S. and the world. Williams has pretty much everything, with the possible exception of a nearby major city, although Boston and New York are moderately accessible.
School colors: Purple and Gold.

Conestoga College is a Canadian college with several campuses. It is overflowing with hot girls. Not uncommon for there to be a bunch of hungover people in class regardless of your program. way overpriced, but a good party.

I failed all my classes that were supposed to transfer because I never showed up to the local community college on Friday.

A website that is supposed to help high school students and their parents with getting into university and how to manage courses while there, but is flooded with insecure people who act elitist and belittle others based on their mediocre GPA, SAT/ACT scores, etc. If you have a 3.3 GPA, you are seen as a loser similar to someone begging for money on the freeway overpass. Most believe if it's a tactic to get people to become hopeless so they don't apply to the Ivy League and have them get an easier chance of getting in.
User: I have a 3.3 GPA, 1250 SAT and 30 ACT, along with being the president of the Hockey club, 5 AP courses taken with 3 4's and 2 5's, and have over 100 hours of community service. What are my chances of getting into San Diego State?
Idiot on College Confidential: You are more likely to mop floors at McDonald's then get into SDSU with those stats kiddo. Have you considered community college?
