SCHENECTADY — Students at Union College say they have to work hard, so it’s only natural that they party hard.
And that’s a view affirmed by the Princeton Review, which ranked the college as New York’s top party school of 2009. Overall, Union was ranked 13th among the 371 colleges reviewed in the annual guidebook, which was released Monday.
Princeton Review also listed Union as college with the most to do on campus and second in having the most dysfunctional “town-gown” relations. The college was also cited for having a very prevalent Greek life, beer-loving student body and an overall lack of integration among campus cliques.
“There’s no disagreement over the city of Schenectady; everyone agrees it is less than ideal, and worse, there is ‘nothing to do,’ ” the review states “General consensus is that fun means ‘staying on campus and drinking’ or ‘maybe an excursion to Albany’ for a concert.”.............>>>>................>>>>............http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2009/jul/28/0728_unionrank/
