    Am learning a lot

    Mount Union sets up an excellent community of educational and social opportunities. Not only will you learn a lot about your field of study, but you will gain the tools necessary to go out and succeed in the world. Socially, Mount Union is the place to be for friendship and professional networking.
    Am enjoying being here

    The facilities are great. Everything you'll ever want is within walking distance.
    Bang for the buck

    The University of Mount Union may be expensive, but there is not a school more generous with scholarships. By the time you receive your scholarships, you will be paying a great price for an even better education.
    Tips for prospective students

    Check out all of the scholarships you can receive. If you have any experience with music at all, audition for a music scholarship. The University of Mount Union is very generous, and musicians at all different levels receive good scholarships just to participate in one ensemble.
    Great for these types of students

    Mount Union has especially great education, music, business, athletics, and science departments. However, no department lacks. You will find what you want at Mount Union.

    Am learning a lot

    Because of the smaller class sizes, the professors can work with you more personally if one were to need the attention.
    Bang for the buck

    This school is definitely worth the money that you will pay to attend. It's more expensive than some other schools but it makes up for the difference with better facilities, better academics, and even better food than most schools.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't treat this school as you would a larger school. This is not the kind of school that allows students to skip class all semester and go only for the tests. THERE WILL BE HOMEWORK!! Also, the classes are smaller which allows for personal attention from professors and more class participation, which, in my opinion, is much better than being in a class of 200 students and listening to constant lectures from someone who may not even recognize you if you were to approach them outside of class.
    Great for these types of students

    Engineering students
    Physical Training students
    Music students
    Athletes (Mount excels in several Division 3 sports including football, women's basketball, and wrestling)
    Students from NE Ohio who want to be away from home but not too far
    Students who want to be known by administrators and professors by their name instead of by their ID number

    Bang for the buck

    They give out nice scholarships!
    Tips for prospective students

    It is a small school, so it is easier to get around and find your classes. It is not as intimidating as you may think. The professors (most of them) are very nice and care about your education.

    Great School! My visit was the ISH! Great people, great campus, great environment! Great education and SPORTS teams!
    Tips for prospective students

    Take it aaaallll in!
    Academic Rigor

    Top 12% of all Universities/Colleges in the US of A.
    Dorm Life

    Very Cleeeeaaaan!!!
    Food and Dining

    Cafeteria was good, and they have several cafe's around the campus (more in construction). I'm from Florida so I can compare Mount to USF, UCF, UF, FSU, and because of the business my moms in, I can even compare some of their sports facilities with the Tampa Bay Bucs facilities and let me tell you... UMU has them beat!
    What to do for fun

    Can't answer because I'm not a student YET! But from what I've heard from UMU students, there's tons either on campus or in neighboring cities.
    Bang for the buck

    Most definitely, send UMU your FAFSA and see what they can help you out with!

  • Loves Mount!

    mount is a great school if you want to get involved. as far as i can tell they offer great academics for every major. the people are great and everyone wants you to succeed.
    Tips for prospective students

    ask around and get involved. there is definitely something for everyone.
    Dorm Life

    freshman dorms are fairly decent, and upperclassman dorms are great.
    Food and Dining

    excellent food and options, just significantly fewer options for gluten free and vegetarian diets.
    What to do for fun

    there are plenty of restaurants around, most close around 10 though. there is a bowling alley in alliance and mount union is pretty good about having weekend fun things available. some people travel to canton for more options.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there is an echo spot on campus, where if you stand at a certain spot you can hear echoes, and you're the only one who can.

    we also have a spirit rock that can get painted.

    Great for these types of students

    japanese majors, music majors, people who enjoy sports, people who want to get involved in a lot of things.
    Clubs and Activities

    so so many things to do on campus.
    Greek Life

    definitely fun and a great experience, but there's no unpleasant pressure to join. i highly recommend going through recruitment though. you don't have to join afterward, but you'll be able to make a much more educated decision. the greeks on campus get along and there is more cooperation than competition.

    it is a great place if you want to be part of a smaller size college that values your input to the university as a student. the campus is beautiful and you get the longest walk to one of your classes of 5 minutes. class sizes are small and professors are very willing to help you outside of class time.
    Tips for prospective students

    visit the campus and meet some of the people and you will fall in love. if you are into music check out the choir, they are pretty amazing. if you like working out the maac (gym) is an amazing facility. talk to the professors of the discipline you want to major in.
    Academic Rigor

    all depends on how good you want to do in class and the grades and knowledge you want to get out of classes. also has to do with what major you choose.
    Dorm Life

    amazing, i never want to leave. you make friendships that will never fade away.
    Food and Dining

    many cafeterias have the same thing every day but here there is a lot of variation. there is always something for everyone.
    What to do for fun

    i run, sing, workout, listen to music, ride my motorcycle, and watch movies.
    Bang for the buck

    a great value even though mount is an expensive school it is so worth the experience and growth that you go through.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    dougs classic dinner, old school dinner across from campus. the frat houses are very good at mount, no hazing, very respectable, and parties are always fun to go to when you know it will be safe.
    Great for these types of students

    students that want to get involved in the campus.
    Clubs and Activities

    many many many for every kind of person and new ones pop up all over.
    Greek Life

    i am not in greek life but i love going to the frat houses. it is a safe environment as apposed to many collegiate greek life settings.
    Campus Safety

    for being in the middle of alliance, oh there is very little that happens on campus. it is a very safe environment.

    If you are looking for a small, laid back, down-to-earth atmosphere, this is the perfect place to be! The education is great and it is easy to find help as long as you seek it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Unlike large schools, this small school allows you to get to know everybody. The only problem is this school may start to seem too small such as in my case, I sometimes get claustrophobic because this college is the same size as my high school.
    Academic Rigor

    The school work may seem to be challenging, but you will be guaranteed to learn a lot as long as you try.
    Dorm Life

    The dorm life here is great. The small dorms allow you to know everybody and throughout the year, you may begin to look at them as a family.
    Food and Dining

    A small selection of food, I guess this is one of the cons of attended a small university.
    What to do for fun

    Besides parties, there is not that much to do besides hang with friends and attend sporting events. But, even sporting events tends to get boring at times because of the lack of school spirit .

    Am learning a lot

    Besides learning about my chosen major I am also learning about other cultures, other ways of living and who I am.
    Am enjoying being here

    I enjoy having an chance to do things without the worry of having to be around tons of other people, but yet I know I won't be alone.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go with an open mind and become involved in activities.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great place for someone who is a bit shy. You can't go to Mount and not make friends.

    Am learning a lot

    I definitely feel like Im learning a lot. The class aren't really that hard but they keep you on your toes.
    Am enjoying being here

    To be honest, I really didn't like it at first. My first week, I was ready to come home because I didn't know anyone there and didn't feel welcome. But as soon as I join organizations and clubs, I started to meet new people and people who shared the same interests as me.
    Bang for the buck

    The cost of attending is not the great. It is very expensive. I had to take out a lot of loans but I feel like it's worth it in the end.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure that if your attending college period, just to keep an open mind with everything that you do.
    Great for these types of students

    I feel like it is great for all types of students.

    Am learning a lot

    I just completed my first semester at Mount Union and I already feel like I have learned more than I did all four years of high school. The professors are very dedicated to their jobs and are available both in and out of the classroom.
    Am enjoying being here

    I absolutely love the atmosphere of the school. Everybody is so nice and the professors genuinely care about their students. There is plenty to do on the weekends, with National Championship sports teams and a ton of different clubs and organizations.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition at Mount Union is very expensive, at around $35,000 but the experience is definitely worth it. However, if that is not in your budget, the school offers a ton of work study jobs where you can work flexible hours while still focusing on academics.
    Tips for prospective students

    Mount Union is a great school with a fantastic atmosphere. However, it is a small campus in a relatively small town so if you don't want small, Mount is not for you.
    Great for these types of students

    Mount Union is great for students who want a small town atmosphere. Teachers and students get to know each other on a personal basis, so if you're planning on fading into the background, Mount is not for you.

    Mount has a great staff of professors that love to teach and are very willing to help students that want the help and are willing to cooperate with the professors.
    Am enjoying being here

    Its great being here although there isn't much to do off campus there is plenty to do on campus you just have to get out of your dorm room.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes the school is a bit expensive but with all the help available and the programs offered its worth the price.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take your time on your entrance essay, apply for for lots of scholarships, and make sure your financial aid on time to avoid the late fees.
    Great for these types of students

    Athletic Training, Music, Math, Computer Science, with a greatly expanding Criminal Justice program. no program lacks and each program has great professors to help the students.
