Around Town

I've lived in the approximate area (about 15 minutes away) of Union College for all of my life. There's a lot to do, whether it be going to hockey games, shopping, walking through the city (never alone or at night, though). There's also a lot of great little cafes and restaurants in the nearby area.

Hockey games are a blast.

There are restaurants walking distance. There's a shuttle that takes you to Crossgates mall every wednesday and saturday, which is awesome to hang out. There are always a ton of events going on on campus. The minerva houses host events ranging from watching Step-Up with a few people to having guest speakers from various fields of studies (usually always with free food!). The night-life is typically frat and house parties, which are awesome (closed to freshmen the first five weeks, but my friends and I still got in most of them just fine), but there are bars in the area some will let in 18-year-olds in. Every weekend they have movies that have not gone out on DVD yet (21 Jump Street, Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Hunger Games, Argo, etc.)

There are a plethora of clubs and intramural sports to lay during free time.

There is a lot you can do on the weekends, Student Activities have a lot of event from snow skiing to movies. You would get an email about events happening on weekends. There is also greek parties but chances they will let you in.

Join clubs and hang out with friends

we were rated as the #1 campus for things to do. there is always so much going on! from charity events to college sponsored outings to movies and comedians to frat parties there is always something fun to do- never enough time.
