College students in Florida are usually described as studying in a vacation spot. But if you ask any student in the Northeast what it’s like to live and go to school up here, they’ll tell you they love their four seasons. How could you not? In the fall in particular, Upstate New York is a destination for those who want to marvel at fall foliage and enjoy fun autumnal activities. For Siena students, this is part of life during the fall semester. Here are five of our favorite things to do around here this time of year.

Chances are, you tweet. So you know that Twitter is one of the best ways to stay in-the-know about pretty much everything. Local news, national news, restaurant reviews, real-time event updates. There are loads of things you can find out about by searching Twitter and following the right accounts. Getting a feel for life in the Capital Region is no exception. Think you’d enjoy living here and attending Siena? Start following these Twitter handles—they’ll come in handy now and while you’re here.

Just for fun, we asked current students to complete the sentence “You know you go to Siena when…” Take a look at some of their responses below! Yes, many are inside jokes. But lists like these can often give you a sense of what life is like at a particular college or in a certain region. And as you can see here, Siena students are nothing if not fun, polite, intelligent and tight-knit.

When Siena students really want something, Siena students get it. Case in point: During his time here, the class of 2014’s student body president and GOLD scholar, Ryan Murphy, helped convince the school that the Sarazen Student Union needed a fresh renovation. Now, it’s cooler than ever (if we do say so ourselves).
