The curriculum was structured perfectly to prepare me for the next step. What truly sets this college apart is the dedicated and accessible faculty. They genuinely care about student learning and success. They went above and beyond to provide individual attention that you just don't get at a large university. Lots of fun memories on & off campus! I graduated with an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree.

If I could, I would give this place 0 stars…read more When you actually start going there, the parking is HORRIFIC! My sister goes to Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) and their parking is 100000X better than Union! There are lots so far away that students have to walk so far just to get to the campus and even then, the faculty gets the closest parking - which takes up most of the first 3 lots because God forbid they have to walk more than 5 feet away from the school. And in the snow/rain, it's horrible the way they expect students to want to go to this school with terrible parking lots, walk 20 feet just to get to the campus, and go to class. At that rate, you should take online courses or better yet, go to RVCC! RV is 1000X better and if it wasn't for my program being American Language and Deaf Studies, I would have gone there! Their parking lots alone are reason enough for people to want to go there! If that doesn't get you ready to go, go to Raritan because you do NOT have to PAY for a parking ticket! They have separate dividers for the faculty and staff through a parking ticket, but for students, it's free!! The silent study rooms. I had time between my classes to go there and it was good, except for when people are TALKING IN A SILENT STUDY ROOM! It is silent! I don't know if these students can't read the sign on the door because almost everyone was talking during a certain time - around 12-4. It is a silent study room! There is no group work! No whispering! No talking! And no videos! It is not rocket science or brain surgery! Do NOT do it!! And, on top of that, they would have construction going on again near the silent study room for who knows what, so because of that noise, many people didn't bother to obey the rules of the room, so more people started to talk. That room was also put right next to a different room where students could go for leisure time or group study, so every once in a while, I would hear loud laughter and even some banging on the wall as the students on the other side were arguing over some answers for their homework. What kind of "genius" puts a silent study room right next to a room where students can have group study?! I was constantly telling people to "please go outside" or "please, no group study" because it was a SILENT STUDY ROOM! They need to have someone there ensuring that students who go in do NOT TALK! I would be studying for tests/quizzes/homework/exams, and so many students would be talking and having a group study together! I HATED that college! If Raritan Valley had my program as a Major, I would have been thrilled to have gone to that college, but Union had it, so I was forced to choose that one. Union College was absolutely awful! Terrible parking, horrible design, unbelievable slow learning with basic topics I learned in middle/high school, and very lazy security who are too busy on their phones or sitting at the desk, watching YouTube videos or playing Solitaire. If they have your program at Raritan Valley Community College, go there! It is so much better, my sister is always telling me good things about the staff that help her out, and the parking alone is definitely worth it!

The beginner adult class is great to get comfortable with the machine, winding a bobbin, and learning simple stitches all while creating your first product (a small drawstring pouch!). Everyone who joined the class was also so sweet and supportive. I'm sure it varies class to class, but it definitely felt like a great community. Urban Sewciety also has a small shop on the first level with beautifully curated fabrics and different projects that you can also take home to try. They also run different events (and sales) from time to time, so be on the lookout!

You have the option to stay after for help and practice. -Hands on- in class, you will learn how to wire, charge a system, pull a vacuum, braze and solder, ductwork, inspect, diagnose, clean (Coils, equipment, etc.), and maintenance. -If deemed a good student, depending on what teacher you have, you can have jobs offered to you. This is great because you will see what you will actually encounter when you begin to work. Note: You have to prove to the teacher that you are a good student and this is not guaranteed. If you have the proper GPA and attendance, you can apply to become an elite student and be offered jobs with a teacher. Payment is not guaranteed and is up to the customer to give, they have no obligation to give anything to you or the teacher. -Career services will help getting you a job. While it will take a while for them to find you a job, and you're better off looking for one yourself, they will help with anything along the lines of employment. -You will receive tools that you will need in class and when you begin to work. These tools include: A ratcheting screw driver, a multimeter with a thermometer, a pressure gauge, an extendable mirror, a service wrench and allen key, safety goggles and glasses, 2 tubing cutters (One big, one small), a tape measure, and a dozen more. Note: You will not receive a vacuum pump or recovery machine, but you will have the opportunity to use both in multiple classes. -Before you finish your last class, depending on your performance in class, you will have the chance to speak with administration about your opinion for teachers, classes, and equipment. Cons -Pot heads. When you go outside, follow the parking lot close to the baseball field, you will see the dozens of HVAC, automotive, and EEST students just wasting their time and money getting stoned during lunch, breaks, and during class. You will walk into class with a couple guys, mostly in the back, stinking like pot. -Short classes. Each class is only 20 days, which at first seems like a fair amount, but you'll realize after your first few classes how rushed everything is and how teachers admit that they could teach a lot more. -Some students are just assholes. You got good ones, and you got bad ones. The good ones are assholes during breaks, lunch, before class starts, and after class ends. The bad ones, are assholes during class who interrupt the lesson. There were a few times where teachers wasted valuable time in class to argue and kick out assholes who decide to interrupt their lessons. As said before, 20 days is not enough to learn and understand everything we're supposed to. Each time someone argues and complains during a lesson, it interrupts the class and makes us all learn less than we should. Also, some students are thieves. I've had a tool stolen and so have many others. So if you're going to be a student, put your name and sharpie and etch in your initials if possible. I was lucky enough to have my pipe cutter stolen. I've met people who have had their multimeter stolen, pressure gauge, both pipe cutters, wire stripper, safety glasses, and even tools brought from home. So, please, write your name multiple times in sharpie and etch your name in the tool just incase. Overall, the school is not bad. It's not great, but it is one of the better options. If you go to the school, you will see an example of success in multiple teachers who started off going to that very same Lincoln tech. Each teacher will tell you that going there will give you a basic understanding in every part of the trade and that you will really begin to learn when you start working. As an elite student who has graduated, I can verify that you can get the opportunity to work with teachers in real places such as homes, pop eyes, and a national guard armory. I have done installations, service, wiring, and cleanings on ice makers, ice cream machines, air conditioners (Condenser and evaporator), and furnaces (Oil and gas). If you decide to go to Lincoln tech, do the best you can to learn and participate in all activities and lessons. Make sure you get there early to get good parking spots (I usually got there a little after 6:30), ask for help and admit to mistakes you made in the classroom. Sure the teacher will get slightly annoyed, but he will tell you, "That's why you're here," and you will not only learn how to fix the problem you caused, but also how to avoid the problem. Only you will decide whether this school will be a waste of money or not. I decided to make it worth every penny I spent. Quick side note: One of the other reviews complains about convicts. It is true that there are former convicts who attend the school, but most of them (at least the ones who admit to being convicts) are the hardest working and smartest.

The school has also been tied to federal borrower defense claims regarding misleading career prospects.
