Incredibly.

Morgan

Most of the Students here are very wealthy; ; a lot of people are wearing Dolce & Gabana, Hermes, Kate Spade, Louis Vutton, Gucci, etc. However, I come from a family that is not so well off and found that most of the kids here are still relatable and friendly. At first I thought the money barrier would be a problem but it usually is not. Although Union is somewhat clique-ish, most people are not afraid to branch out. The size of Union is good; I like frequently seeing people around campus that I know"

Devin

some are true, but not for all students --- Union does have a diverse population of students if you look closely enough

Emily

To some extent yes, however for the most part kids are nice and though people tend to be from similar backgrounds and areas of the country there are a number of different personality types and sets of interests, which makes for a great intellectual environment. Also, my three best friends applied here ED.

They are accurate for large portion of the student body. We really do have a very attractive student body. However, we also have a very diverse campus community. At first glance the campus may seem very homogeneous but if you look you will see students of many ethnicities, from an array of countries, and with diverse backgrounds.

Union is an expensive school, so there are a large number of "preppy" and "rich" students, although they do not make up the majority of the campus population. There is a lot of partying on campus, just like at any other school.
