The reason we suggest turning your campus visit into a weekend getaway is because we love life in the Capital Region. Spanning New York’s Albany, Troy, Schenectady and Saratoga areas, our location overspills with things to see and do. There are countless places to intern and work. Incredible food. It’s safe, picturesque and crazy convenient. The perfect spot, yup, we said it, for college and beyond.

SAINTS LOVE THE CAPITAL REGION

To experience the Capital Region, you just have to see it for yourself.

Whether you’re planning a campus tour or coming for an admissions event, here are a few things you could do before or after seeing Siena to get a taste of life here.

You may think you know the Capital Region, but do you? There's a lot to love about the Albany area. Nature, culture, business, entertainment, careers—we've got it all!

The Capital Region is known for being a technology hub with a vibrant economy, which for us, means plenty of internship and job opportunities. We also have a huge alumni network right here in town, which lead to open doors and new connections.

With Uber, Lyft, trains, buses and an international airport minutes from campus, it makes traveling super convenient. Not to mention major cities like Boston, New York City and Philadelphia are just a couple hours away!

Our suburban home in Loudonville is surrounded by walkable downtowns, beautiful mountains, lakes and beaches. It's like every backdrop is accounted for in our backyard. And the short drives from here are pretty amazing, too. Roadtrip, anyone?

Concert halls, museums, theatres, shopping centers, skiing, swimming, rock-climbing, hiking, food festivals, farmers markets and so much more. This is a place with heart, soul and nonstop action.

These are a few of our students' favorite things...

“The network of Siena alumni that work and live in the Capital Region present a great opportunity for Siena students to find amazing internships and full-time positions. Beginning to grow my connections as soon as freshman year allowed me to land two internships and ultimately accept a full-time position in the Albany area. Utilizing the plentiful resources on campus including professors and the CEPD office allowed me to present my skills and knowledge I gained from studying at Siena to employers.” Alison Cross '21

“It is so amazing to belong to a community like the Siena Saints. This campus is filled with friendly faces that turn into a family for a lifetime. Throughout various clumps on campus, I have had the opportunity to meet so many different alumni who are as passionate about Siena as the students here are which further strengthens the community.” Carly Fanning '23

"Safety is very important to me as a female. So being able to walk to Massry with my friends late in the evening and to walk back to my dorm after my 6 pm lab without fear is a relief!" Chahna Choksi '24

"One of my favorite parts of Siena is the proximity to the Adirondacks. Through the Outing Club, we go on organized hikes, rock climbing trips, and even ice climbing!" Conor Graham '21

"I love going to the Times Union Center with my friends whether it be for a concert or supporting the Siena men's basketball team. I got to see Pan!c at the Disco there and that was easily one of my favorite college memories. With such a wide array of concerts and events that happen at the TU, there's always something for everyone!" Emily McGuinness '22

“The surrounding area is great. The Times Union Center is perfect for a Siena Basketball game or a concert. Troy has a waterfront farmers market that is always a campus favorite and Saratoga is a quick 30 minutes away with great food and lots of activities.” Caroline Clickman '22
