When you break down the college application process by month or time of year, the whole thing can become more exciting and organized—and a lot less overwhelming.

So let’s talk January!

For juniors and seniors currently in high school, here’s what you should be doing this month to move along in the college process.

Got aspirations of becoming an engineer? We believe the best engineers...start in applied physics. Which is why that’s the major we offer for pre-engineers.

For a quick highlight list on our applied physics program, check out this blog post. But for now, hear from a current student why future engineers should definitely consider Siena College.

College always takes an adjustment period, but sometimes you just know if a place isn’t for you. Thinking about switching schools?

To make the transfer process a smooth transition, we recommend syncing up with a transfer admissions counselor at the college you're considering to make sure you get all the answers you need. (Siena’s transfer pro, BTW, is Jen Sloan, and you can email her anytime.)

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Gift-giving is the best part of Christmas. (OK, maybe except for gift-receiving.) 

Wherever you're spending this Thanksgiving, we wish you a happy holiday surrounded by family and friends. And we'll leave you with one of our favorite quotes from St. Francis of Assisi to think about around the table this year: “While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.”

The G.O.L.D (Graduates of the Last Decade) Standard Award annually recognizes five young alumni for extraordinary achievements. Award recipients distinguish themselves through professional success, service to the community and/or engagement with Siena College.

If the topic of living with college roommates has been top of mind for you ever since you toured the dorms at Siena or first saw Pitch Perfect, settle in for this fun convo.

Devon, Kyle, Tristan, Stephen, Jake, and Lucian are all Siena seniors who live together—and (sort of) have been from the beginning. If anyone knows how to make the most of roommate life, it’s them.

Here, a few of the guys tell their story.

If you think your future is in engineering, ask yourself this: what kind of engineer do you want to be? We don’t mean mechanical, or chemical, or anything like that—you’ll figure that out in time.

We mean: do you want to be an engineer who follows the rules that have already been established? Or, do you want to understand the whys, the hows, the fundamental truths, so that you can ask questions and uncover new solutions?
