Review of Siena University

from Schenectady, NY

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Classes are about the same size as in my high school, about 30 people per class. Science laboratory classes are even smaller which allows for more hands-on work and more time in classes with the professors. All of the teachers have office hours so that you can get any extra help you need and they have flexible schedules so that you can come in when you are free.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The campus is an extremely welcoming and friendly environment. People are always holding doors for one another and smiling at everyone. The kind atmosphere makes it a great place to be. There are tons of clubs and activities to join which enables students to make friends easier and to have lots of fun. There is always something to do and people around to help you with anything you may need.

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

Well, being a private school, Siena can get expensive. However, the school offers lots of scholarships and financial aid to help the students go to Siena without worrying about an expensive cost. Siena staff are always willing to work with you to help you with more aid.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

You may think college is like high school all over again, but that is not true. Be prepared to work hard to get good grades and be ready to do homework that may take hours.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Well, Siena has a great biology department so biology students would have a great time. Also, because it is a liberal arts school, undecided majors may have a great time here. Students at Siena are friendly, welcoming, and determined.
