Siena’s reputation for holding open doors is just one of the things that make the community special. This fun fact is now known all across the nation thanks to Michael O’Connell ’16 and his video “Catholic Education Through the Eyes of a Resident Assistant.”

Wherever you choose to attend college, you'll no doubt spend a lot of your time in the library. That's why it's a prime spot to remember on campus visits, and something you should ask students about whenever you have the chance. What you're looking for: great work spaces, nice views, long hours and let's be honest...cozy couches don't hurt! Here's what a few Siena students love about Standish Library.

Received some great news in the mail lately? There's nothing like reading "congratulations on your acceptance" to put you into a long-lasting state of bliss. Enjoy those exciting moments!

As you probably already know, Siena is a liberal arts college at its core. Yes, we offer courses on coding, on programming and how to analyze data. (In fact, we have countless successful graduates whose technological skills have led them to very lucrative careers.) But as important as technology is to us, we will never stop promoting the importance of a liberal arts-based education.

Once you've submitted applications for all the colleges on your list, like many students, you may find yourself wondering: "Should I apply to just ONE more? Just in case?" The common recommendation is to apply to five to eight colleges, but if that question is on your mind, it can be tough to abide by that rule of thumb.

Did you know that at Siena, all courses are faculty-taught? No TAs, no grad students. Here, you'll be learning from professors with impressive credentials, who all happen to be incredible and inspiring people, too. Why not kick off a new Q&A series on the blog where you can learn more about them? In honor of Women's History Month, we're starting off with Dr. Laurie Naranch.
