Siena Heights University

- If there were an option for no stars or negative, i would have chosen that one...
-Most professors don't enter grades until the end of the year, so grades are never accurate or up to date. (Most student athletes end up ineligible because of this)

- Financial Aid and Student Retention do not do anything to help students, they make multiple "promises" to get them to choose Siena, and then completely screw you over.

- Even when you have a crazy roommate, they make the person not responsible move out. You don't have a say, it's just what they "believe" is the fair thing to do.

- When midterms come around, don't expect to be eligible for athletics if your professor hasn't graded anything or entered any grades. They'll put one exam grade (Usually your worst) in just to have something in for midterms- students get screwed over.

- Ask any student- they will all tell you how awful Siena is and that it's a big joke- most transfer after the first semester.

- Whenever students see high schooler's on a visit, the first thing everyone wants to tell them is "Walk away while you can, don't do it."Long story short, DO NOT CHOOSE SIENA- Don't let admissions and tour guides fool you...ask other students...

Firstly, I should mention that I grew up near Adrian and decided to come here because of the short distance from home, despite my parents saying they would help pay for out-of-state tuition had I wanted to attend another university. SHU has a decent reputation, so I figured why not? I can honestly say I regret NOT taking them up on this offer and getting the hell out of here.

I'm a math major, but the work I've needed to do for my math classes is not college-grade material by any means. In a lot of my classes we've had to do assignment that are about as difficult (or even less so) as assignments that I received in high school classes. Gen ed. classes are a joke - they're a complete waste of time. The only thing Gen ed's have done for me is lower my gpa because I had one very hard class and one hard anthropology class that were ridiculously difficult. For my major's classes though, I've gotten straight A's. I've only had two good TA's, and they were for rhetoric and my interpretation of lit class, which do not have lectures. Everyone I talk to here is at a point in their education where they still don't know what they want to do, don't try hard at all, and don't really care about getting better than a C average so they don't get put on academic probation.

The ONLY thing people do here for fun is DRINK. THAT'S IT. No matter what ANYONE SAYS - drinking is the whole social scene of this university. I grew up with it, but had some notion that I could still have fun without having to go out or get drunk all the time. This turned out to be false. The places and things that are fun your first year get very boring very quickly. If you didn't become part of a tight-knit social group your freshman year, it is near impossible to make friends.I absolutely CANNOT stand the annoying Detroit kids that come here and act like the run the city. It is the most annoying and condescending thing about social life and friend-making here at Siena. Don't come here unless you are going into teaching, nursing, or some science, or unless you really like to drink...like a lot. I'm actually transferring next year, and I have absolutely NO qualms about it.

People are generally friendly. Financial aid department is extremely slow and incompetent. I am still working ona an issue after six months. Advisor is friendly and attempts to be helpful but I feel like nobody really cares and they just keep patting you on the back to keep you pacified. Half of the courses I took were a waste of time and money. I got nothing out of them.
