Perhaps in the past, but the most recent CDS for Union College shows that 20% of male students are in fraternities (30% for sororities so it’s not Greek heavy).

29%.

How dare that person misrepresent by rounding up one percent!

Union's CDS already reports a rounded figure of 29% (e.g., the underlying figure may be 28.51%). Why you would find it accurate to "round" this figure further is beyond me.

It’s true that Schenectady is no longer the City that Lights the World and its been a long time since the last locomotive rolled off the assembly line, but the campus is beautiful and Saratoga Springs is not far away.

If it’s so run down why do you visit? The campus is nice and the area is typical of many older Northern cities.

Sorry to hear that your kids aren’t strong enough for Union.

Wow. That seems low for a college once known as "the mother of fraternities." Is the vibe on campus still the same despite the lower Greek participation rate, or has it gone woke?

Students interested in science or engineering should consider Union's impressive science facilities:

Why the yelling?

One of my kids and their spouse both went there. They both have graduate degrees from Ivies and are very successful in their respective professions by any objective measure.

Really solid school, was once part of the elite but dropped down a notch. The rare SLAC with engineering. They give good merit aid and it looked like a happy crowd when we visited.

It was on my son's short list as a place where he could study pretty much anything, including engineering. Generous with merit and good options for research. Ultimately, he wanted to stay a little closer to home. We'll probably look at it again with my sophomore daughter.

Rarely hear it mentioned here. I'm curious about the reputation!
