Even better second time around.<\/i><\/p>\n

We previously toured Union College in May, 2017<\/a> and loved its compact and high quality feel. Since then my son Winston has interviewed with the school and decided to visit it for a second tour, which we took yesterday. This time we were guided by a sophomore student.<\/p>\n

Union College clearly reinvests its ample cash flow in facilities and there’s not a tired building to be found. The new Science Center<\/a>, a $100 million capital investment, opened in late 2018 and will be completed come the fall of 2020. It is magnificent, as you should expect for that sort of money.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"
\nThe Grant Admissions Center – lovely inside and out.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOur tour, conducted by the enthusiastic Sophia Anderson, commences.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFall colors frame a unified architectural style.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nInide the Philip R. Beuth ’54 atrium which bridges common areas and the library.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThese students are studying the Microscopic Characteristics of Catalytic Aerogels.
\nThat’s fire retardants in English.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe new Science Center cost $100 million and is almost finished. A wonder to behold.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBad leg spotted in one of the many student common areas.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe F. W. Olin Center, funded by the arms manufacturer’s foundation.
\nTwo symmetrical wings flank a central circular rotunda, which rises through
\nthe three above-grade floors of the building. Science is studied here.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n“Formulating strong theses”. One of the mandatory classes – the other is on
\nhow to conduct professional research – at Union College. English as she is wrote.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe Henle Dance Pavilion, one of two Theater facilities.
\nPart of the 8 acres of formal garden is visible.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe color of the architecture is conformed throughout the many campus buildings.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe Minerva concept sees freshmen grouped into dorms with
\ndiscretionary funding to do their own thing.<\/p>\n

This was a great experience complemented by an excellent tour guide.<\/p>\n

We dined at Johnny’s Italian Restaurant<\/a> in nearby Schenectady, a short walk away, expecting the Sopranos to enter at any moment.<\/p>\n
