Advice for campus visits: What to take home with you
Last month, we helped you prepare for college visits with a list of questions to ask professors if you get the chance to meet faculty. Now, we want to help you beef up your college-decision folders with the items you should be taking home with you post-visit. (If you don't have folders set aside for each of the schools on your list, get to it! It's the best way to keep your notes, applications and other materials organized.)

Roadtrippin' from Siena
There are two things you should know about roadtripping: 1) Always check your gas tank before you hit the highway. 2) From our Loudonville campus, the destinations are endless. So if you ever find yourself at Siena—either during the summer or academic year—and are looking for a quick day trip out of town, consider these cool places our Saints love to visit when they get the itch to explore.

What does test-optional really mean?
For Siena College, high-achieving students who will have a positive impact on their college and are determined to succeed in life after graduation are who we look for during the admissions process—not someone with a certain SAT or ACT score. We understand that a number can't define you, so, like hundreds of other colleges, we're adopting a test-optional policy starting fall 2016. Know what that means?
