I feel as though union could definitely improve in their schooling system. Many students express their displeasures at how the township doesn’t provide students with various resources. Many in the upper level tend to even go through their entire high school career without speaking to their guidance counselors about available resources for college. Many of the young adults in the town are left feeling a bit lost due to the school not properly preparing them for adult life.
Union also is lacking in a nightlife. Recent efforts to revamp the town center have been obvious. Perhaps in a few years, Union may be seen as a place that has a nightlife in which others deem nice to visit.
One thing Union does succeed in is it’s transportation system. Between various bus routes and pretty easy access to New York City via the train station. It is pretty easy and convenient to get around town.
Overall, Union does have areas it may improve in, however there are plenty of redeeming factors.

Union Township is a good and safe place. It is surrounded in by woods and a lot of plant life. The parks are very nice and there are a lot of good places to eat. There is a University partly in Union too, Kean, and it means that it is kept safer than most areas. The only real downside is that it is small, quiet town but some may see that as a plus!
I have been a resident of Union, New Jersey ever since I was an infant. The environment here is so uplifting and positive. Union Center is the focal point of the town which features numerous shops and restaurants. This area is the perfect place to spend your weekend because there are several activities you can experience. For instance, since Union is incredibly diverse, the restaurants range from all types of foods you could think to taste. Additionally, you can go thrift shopping, go to the salon, or even see a movie at the theater! There is also a small playground with a peaceful library that one could visit if looking for some quiet time. Lastly, the people here have given me some of the greatest memories I could ask for, and have grown up with me in this beloved town.
