Siena College is a small, private, not-for-profit college located in Loudonville, New York. If you go for a visit, you should take the time to look around. The school is located on the north end of Loudonville and you’ll have the option of living in a dormitory with your fellow freshmen if you decide to attend. This is often a good idea, at least for the first academic year. It will let you take part in campus activities and you’ll be much closer to your classes.


Overview of Siena College


The college is surrounded by trees and plenty of green areas. When it’s warm, it’s going to be really inviting to go outside, get a little sun, and do your studying underneath a tree. The campus is relatively small, so you’ll be able to get around quickly as you attend each of your classes.

Siena College is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. Some of the street names hint at this—Friars Drive and Padua Road.

Tuition Cost & Financial Aid


Going to college is expensive, but it is an expense that, over time, usually repays itself. The total cost of education for one year is often referred to as the sticker price and it combines your tuition, books, supplies, room and board, and other charges. At Siena College for the 2019-2020 academic year, this was $58,200.

Financial aid is one of the biggest things students can rely on to bring the cost of attendance down. This may even make college financially viable when it wouldn’t be otherwise. During the 2018-2019 school year, Siena College’s net price by income was $28,000. This is the total the student was responsible for after financial aid was applied. Since financial aid is often offered in greater amounts to those who are most in need, the net price is often tracked by income status. Families who earned less than $30,000 owed around $20,200, which families earning between $75,001 and $110,000 owed around $27,500.

Close to 100% of first-year students qualified for financial aid. The same percentage received around $27,557 in grants or scholarships and an average of $25,557 in institutional grants and scholarships.

Academics


Statistics that are vital to the continuing ability of the college to attract new students are often also a comment on the school’s quality. One measures the retention, which sits at around 86%. This measures the percentage of first-year students who return for their second year and generally though to express whether or not students get everything they need in their freshman year, whether it’s support from the faculty or enough socialization to make them feel welcome.

The 4-year graduation rate is also a useful statistic to watch for. At Siena, it is 75%. This increases by 5 points for the 6-year rate, which is solid and makes both graduation rates an excellent point for future students to consider.

The student population is small—3,296, which means you should be able to get individual attention from professors. The student-to-faculty ratio is relatively low at 12 to 1.

If you find a time conflict between classes or a job you may have, you have some options available. If the class is required for graduation, but no seats are available in other sections, you may be able to choose an online learning section. This may not be an option for all classes, but it’s nice to know there may be some flexibility in your schedule.

The most popular degree programs are business, management, marketing and related support services; psychology; biological and biomedical sciences; social sciences; and English language and literature/letters.
