One of the absolute best things you can do during the whole deciding-where-to-go-to-college process is visit campuses. What you see on a website just doesn't compare to the real thing, and walking around a campus in person may be all you need to make that short list of schools you're interested in. In fact, so many students have told us that their campus tour was when they first realized Siena was right for them. 

After high school graduation comes the graduation parties: think swimming pools, nacho dips, yearbooks and (the best part) graduation gifts. When a family friend or relative asks you for the gazillionth time what they could get you—or if you need ideas of gifts to give your friends—ponder this list of cool products we found, ranging from fun to very useful. 

As soon as high school lets out, you'll have so much more free time to do whatever you want—and you should relax! But if college is in your future, it's smart to use at least part of that time making money that you could use on books, housing, fall clothes and so on. Plus, being productive and working towards a goal can never hurt your resume. 

For graduating seniors, this is a pretty emotional time. You might be excited, ecstatic, melancholic, reflective, stressed and nervous all at once. Need some help conveying what you're going through to those who may not understand? Try these.

If you've been on one of our campus tours, you already know that our guides, also called student ambassadors, are fantastic and just as enthusiastic about Siena as we are. But they're just so awesome, that we've decided to give you an even closer look at who they are and what brought them to our campus for the first time. 

Summer is right around the corner, and trust us, we want you to enjoy it. But whether you're finishing up your junior year or are a soon-to-be high school graduate, there are a few things you can do in the months that lie ahead to stay on track and get ready for your college adventures. Check out our ideas.

You're gearing up for your next big life change—college! And while we're sure you're really excited about it, you might be looking for some advice on what lies ahead from the people who were in your shoes not too long ago. Here's what current freshmen from the Class of 2018 think you should know.

If there’s one thing you can’t deny about Siena College students, it’s that they’re all about helping others. And on Tuesday, one such project led to a five-year-old boy in Ohio feeling like a superhero. Iron Man to be exact, per his request!

Did you know that April 22, 2015 marks the 45th anniversary of Earth Day? Since the annual event dedicated to sustainability is all about doing good—and since Siena is committed to building a more just, peaceable and humane world—we thought we'd share a few ways high school students can make an eco-friendly difference this week. (Without spending money or flying to Scotland to study rural sustainable development with our students.) Get started!

If you just found out that you were put on the waitlist at your top choice college, don't be disappointed. Contrary to what you may think, being wait-listed isn't the end of the line. At Siena, we certainly don't consider it a closed book. In fact, we think you should see it as another opportunity to show your full potential to the Admissions committee. We want to hear from you! Take a look at these tips.
