Story central to identity
Feeling the cold steel of those unforgiving scissors against my scalp changed my perspective on life from that point on. I was raised in a Sikh family, having been raised on the core tenets of the religion. One of the most important ideals I held was the appreciation of myself, and my body. This manifests itself through Sikhs keeping their hair unshorn, to truly accept the gift of mortal life. To keep a Sikh boy’s hair neat, he must...

What stands out to you about Union and what has inspired you to apply? (Limit: 150 words) My friend who is entering Union as a freshman explained his choice of schools very succinctly by merely saying, "It's in the name." I couldn't agree more. Union College has a magic about it that transforms this institution into a community of friendly peers, rather than a school of cutthroat competitors. After visiting, I envisioned myself as part of the Union family. This fosters...
