Review of Siena Heights University

from Monroe, MI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Siena is a small campus, but a loving atmosphere. The teachers, other students, and staff want nothing but the best for the students attending. It is a great place to build connections that will last a lifetime!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are looking for a small university that is very personable and about you, this is the place. The size is usually a turn-off, but the connections and friendships are worth while. Also teachers take the time to get to know their students, making a better learning environment.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes have been challenging but not anything that I couldn't get through. There are many resources in the library, writing center, math cave, and teachers with flexible hours that are always willing to help.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Some people do not care for the dorms because they are older, but if you have a great roommate and an awesome R.A. (Resident Assistant) the dorms are a great place to be. There are constantly activities going on for students to partake in and meet new people.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We have a full service cafeteria that is open everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The staff there is friendly and the food is very good. We have options for vegetarians and non-meat eaters. We also have the SAGE student union that offers food and snacks after cafe hours. In 2013 we will be having a new union and cafeteria built for students.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

The town of Adrian is very small, but in town we have local restaurants and skate rink. We are close to Adrian College that is always putting on events. Our director of Student Activities always have stuff planned on campus for the students to take part in such as; bowling trips, movie nights, Dj's, comedians. We are also very close to two major cities, Ann Arbor and Toledo (30-40 minutes).

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Siena offers many scholarship options and the bang is worth the buck.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The SAGE building and Ledwidge ballroom are cool hang out spots for the students to relax after a long day of studies and athletics. The Field house is also open to 10 p.m. allowing students to get into the weight room and gym. A tradition we have is to not step on the school seal located in the ground right outside of the field house. Students also have free admittance to games located at home at our facilities. Go Saints!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

It is a great institute for all students if you are looking for a smaller university with a great education and amazing opportunities during and after college. The smaller atmosphere allows for students to build connections among each other and teachers. Everyone is very personable and looks out for you and your success.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have wide variety of clubs and activities for students to partake in from religious affiliate groups and cultural based groups. We also have public service groups that work in the school-based and town community.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have one sorority on campus and one fraternity. Both groups are very active in student life and offer a great experience to build relationships, take part in anthropology projects, and be leaders in the school.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

We have a full staff for public safety. There is someone there 24/7, 365 days out of the year. They can be reached easily from the dorm rooms and are quick to get across campus. We are staffed with ex-military, criminal justice majors, police officers, and other well-trained employees.
