University of Mount Union Top Questions

that is is no where near as scary as you thing it will be

I wish I would have known what the weather is like yearly before attending this school because half the school year it is freezing and you are walking around campus in the cold and snowy weather.

That there was only one place to eat

Honestly there isn't anything I can think of. I knew a lot walking in because I was a transfer student and I was contacted repeatedly by different departments to get me set up and settled in easily.

I wish I knew that they were in transition of their Gen Ed requirements, and that to an extent this is a very "do it yourself" campus, if you want something done, you have to go out and do it, there is help available, but you have to find it. Also that work-study jobs are rather hard to find sometimes.

Before coming to the University Of Mount Union, wish I had more knowledge about the cultural things to do in Alliance. Presentations of ones most suited for incorporating in a busy semester schedule would aid in its activity.

What there was to do around campus and what to get involved in. If I had more of an upper hand on what was going on at this school, I would feel more involved with the school and the campus life.

I wish i had known the other applications i filled out to schools in my original home state was all accepted.

I wish I had known about the amount of people that go home on the weekends.

Your college experience is what you decide to make it, so it is important to follow your dreams and not let anything hold you back from your interests, goals, and academic success. You are responsible for your own decisions and your own future, so let your heart lead you to where you want to be.

I was never taught how to write a paper properly. I wish I would have known that. However, Mount Union has all students take a college writing class during their freshman year to prepare them for college.

The financial aide office is not very accomodating, they suddenly find all these scholarships to help you pay for school only when you threaten to leave and transfer.

You must take numerous general education courses to graduate. I'd rather take more courses on my major and minor rather than taking classes I have no interest in.

Well, when you begin college there are thousands of things going through your mind. After being there for a year, the only thing that I wish I had known was just how expensive textbooks were going to be.

I wish I would have realized that living in a more of a rural setting would sometimes get boring and old because on weekends students do not always want to go out and drink and party sometimes they are interested in going to a big mall and dinner etc. which is 25 minutes away from campus. Unless you go to the local alliance mall and theatre which isnt bad but doesn't consume the entire night.
