The Siena College Community welcomed its newest Saints on Thursday, September 3. Many groups — from orientation staff to admissions counselors to student-athletes to ROTC — helped to move students into their new home.

There's one question we get asked often that is both easy and difficult to answer: "What are the students like?" Easy, because Siena students really do have so many things in common. Difficult, because we've got a pretty diverse group of students here. That being said, we drew up a list of 50 very carefully chosen adjectives to describe Saints.

The 2015 Summer Legal Fellows Program placed Siena students at prestigious law schools including Fordham Law School, American University, Western New England Law School and Albany Law School. Every school's program had a different research focus, making each Siena student's experience uniquely fulfilling.

Hopefully by now, you have a few college visits lined up in the coming weeks. It's truly the best way to whittle down your list, and this time of year is perfect for touring campuses. Especially Siena's. The fall weather is unbeatable, and you'll get to meet current students, professors and, of course, our awesome Student Ambassadors. Speaking of the latter, time to virtually meet another one. 

Just for fun, we rounded up some GIFs that we think accurately portray some of the emotions, thoughts and experiences you might have as you start a brand new year in high school. (Based on our own experiences—and what we've heard, of course.) Perhaps you can relate?
