Union Hosts

 

Welcome Union hosts!

Your friendliness, clean environment and welcoming attitude make huge impressions on prospective students and help them feel that they belong. Thank you for taking time out to host a prospective student!

Invite a friend!

If you have a friend who would thrive at Union College, give me a call! We can set him/her up with a free campus visit and up to $250 in travel reimbursement with their qualifying 2.5+ GPA transcript and application. Check out our visit program or give me a call for more details.

All the best,

House Rules

    Up to two guests per room.

  • You can only get a ticket if you signed up to host.
    If a student moves to your room after arriving, you will not get a ticket.
    If a guest decides to leave your room for reasons other than messiness or unkindness you will still get a ticket.

  • Only the roommate who signs up for a student will be listed as receiving the ticket.
    You can ask to receive half points, or let one roommate get a ticket one visit and the other get the ticket the next visit.
