Good school with good NCLEX results. If you're looking for a school that is reasonably priced this is NOT that school. The tuition per credit hour is twice as high as the University. If you\'re not seventh day Adventist the school may be a little much for you. There are multiple times of prayer and the campus is shut down on Thursdays for church. Also, students are required to take 2 seventh day Adventist classes which add thousands of dollars to the tuition.

Union College-Lincoln is one of the best colleges that I recommend that you should go to. The people here are very friendly, you have professors that love teaching and care about your success. The professors are very accessible through email and office hours. Union College-Lincoln is a small learning environment where there are small class sizes and you can easily interact and engage with the class. If you're interested in the Nursing Program, Union College-Lincoln is one of the best colleges in terms of rating. Union College-Lincoln has the highest percentile of students passing the TEAS and NCLEX exams to get into the Nursing Program. So Union College-Lincoln highly recommend this college for any student looking for a small environment and cares about their spiritual life and success.

Union College is a great place that has helped me learn and grow as a person.
Union College is a sister school to my academy and a lot of my peers and graduating classmates went to that school.
It's a very small school and isn't like huge schools or public universities. It's a second family and I've made life-time and unforgettable friends at that school. The professors really care about you since it's very small and accessibility to campus is easier and at walking distance.
I like Union College

It’s a small school with a family oriented lifestyle. Getting to know the community is really encouraged here. There are tons of groups that you can join on campus, and students can always create more. The sports life here is pretty involved, and everyone on campus has some form of merchandise that supports the teams. People really get to know one another here.

Union has great people and the professors really care about their students. The academics are subpar (very few professors) but class sizes are great and asking questions is easy. Staff and students alike are generally very kind and supportive. The religious scene on campus is alive and thriving.

It has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The staff are chill. I practically grew up on this campus. I attended George Stone, which is the teacher training elementary school on campus, and now I'm returning as a college student. There are a good variety of jobs on campus.

I think Union College is a great environment and provides great learning opportunities. It has lots of room for improvements such as the campus food and living quarters. However, I love the staff at the college and consider myself lucky to be a student there. I also love the students and the community we have in our nursing program.

The school has a friendly aura and surrounded by a family feeling community. Union is a school dedicated to aiding students throughout not just their academic studies, but also in their spiritual journey with God and providing a stronger relationship.

Union College is a refreshing environment. The midwestern people are warm, welcoming , and sincere in their desire to invite students into the community. The spiritual aspects of campus life are diverse and the offered religious courses stimulate growth and conversation inside and outside the classroom.

I love Union College with all my heart. This school feels like family, and I’m honestly excited to be heading to this school in the fall! There’s lot of sports I can enter into, soccer being one of my favorites. I get to see friends I haven’t seen in forever, and I know I can trust the teachers to help me with homework if I have any questions.

Union College is a great place for secondary education. If you are looking for a small student body and welcoming atmosphere this is the place. Teachers are more than willing to work with you and give you the time and attention you need to receive the grade you have worked for. Overall I highly recommend Union to anyone looking for a Christian college with friendly people.

Union is one of those schools that makes you feel welcome as soon as you step foot on campus. The teachers and staff are there to mske sure you, as a student, will thrive and be prepared for life after college. The nursing program at Union is stellar and lots of students attend for this program. I am thrilled at the prospect of potentially attending this college and have had the priviledge of visiting on multiple occasions.

My experience at Union College has been a blessing. I have struggled financially because I do not qualify for any loans and with my class schedule I can only work on-campus. Union College is a small but very spiritual campus with good coffee shops for study time.
The fall 2020 acceptance rate for Union College-Lincoln is 63%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020, _____ students were offered admission.
What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I would find someway to convince myself to get proper habits in place such as sleep, eating right, exercise. Only now am I seeing how important they are and trying to form these kinds of habits in a busy college environment is really difficult.
I'd also teach myself to be able to say, "no." Especially in the first semester of college, being busy isn't always a good thing. I wish I'd learned to balance everything in my life to keep myself healthy and destressed and how to prevent becoming overwhelmed by everything.
Union has a great nursing program. They also are very involved with the community and do a lot of volunteer work. They science department also has a 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} rate of their students getting into medical school. Union also has a program called IRR (International Refuge and Relief). This basically is a degree that prepares students as paramedics and prepares them to act during natural or any kind of disasters. A lot of IRR graduates go onto medical school. Union is a Seventh Day Adventist affiliated college, but anybody is allowed to attend.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
How pretty the campus is and how friendly all the faculty and students are. It's not like the traditional private college or university, where everyone is stuck up. The people here at Union College want to get to know you, they are friendly, and they love God. The school also takes great pride in all their academic programs. We have some of the top rated programs for nursing, education, and science.
What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I would have known more about the financial information. They gave you some information, but not enough to prepare yourself. Obviously college is going to be expensive, but knowing what your options are is a nice thing to have. You are going to want to really question them and get in depth answers. During freshman orientation week, make sure to ask a lot of questions, even if you think they are dumb because someone else may have the same questions.
The kind of person that should attend this school is someone that likes small, family like environments and who has at least somewhat of a friendship with God or is not opposed to hearing about Him.
All students must apply yearly for financial aid. This process starts with the FAFSA.
Though financial aid deadlines vary by school, it is a good idea to apply as soon as possible. For the upcoming school year, you can apply as early as October 1 for the FAFSA. Additional school aid will be dependent on the FAFSA results.
100% of students attending Union College-Lincoln receive some sort of financial aid.
