Remember when we gave you five things to look for when visiting a campus? Number 4 asked “what’s within walking distance?” It’s something you should absolutely think about as you research colleges because you’ll want to enjoy time off campus with your friends—without always having to fork over gas or cab money. Plus, having a pharmacy and other convenience stores right around the corner makes life a lot easier.
On to the point of this post! Here’s a sampling of what’s reachable on foot from Siena College. (And as you can see, a lot of new places are popping up in the Capital Region.)
