Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Siena does a good job roping in students without giving a true picture.. Choice of classes is poor compared to other schools, faculty doesn't care about the needs of individual students and many students act like high schoolers, find a clique and reject anyone different than they are. Compared to Suny Albany and St. Rose, the grounds are nice looking and safe. But once behind the gates you see how unsafe the place can be, how poorly trained the public safety staff is, wanna-be cops who pick on random students for invisible reasons. Sad to say, the landscaping is the best thing about the school. My gpa is good so my attitude isn't about bad grades. I have friends but it's mostly a cliquish place and if they give the impression of being a conservative school to parents -- its a joke. The administration acts holier than thou in terms of monitoring but I've never seen so many kids puke their guts out on a Saturday night (and my parents happen to be liberal/didn't shelter me in high school). Administration should stop acting militant about drinking. For some reason they give the (mentally limited) public safety allowance to order kids transported to hospitals if they smell like alcohol. Then they charge parents over $1,000 so the upshot is it pushes kids to drink stuff like straight vodka because its harder to detect on breath and easier to hide. . Im seriously thinking of transfer next year, lots of choices in business at a much lower cost. Final words, don't give it a second look. Siena is all show, no substance.

Initially i saw it as a small, comfortable, friendly place to live. Each visit I went on was better than the last, and it seemed the perfect choice for me being that I'm a bit shy. I felt that it would be easy to meet like-minded people here. Once I was actually enrolled, however, a dark cloud settled in over my life. As a freshman I was put into a forced triple...three girls in a two person room. I then soon found out that there is nothing to do here. Every student is the same...mindless, arrogant, and completely generic. The teachers are great, but two of my four professors have commented on the mindlessness and sheer awfulness of the student body. I think they take one stereotypical guy, and one girl and clone them to make up the student body. If you consider yourself at all a person who wants to learn...if you value originality and enjoy who you are, do not come here. Siena un-makes smart, individual, intelligent people. I am convinced there was a brainwashing ceremony at orientation that i must have missed...otherwise i'd be happy. siena college is the meaning of the phrase "ignorance is bliss" Campus Aesthetics: A-, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

Unlike its other peer Catholic institutions, it seems to be moving in a more conservative direction in this manner. The professors are severely under-paid, and make the students well aware of it. Instead of paying faculty competitive salaries, the administration seems to be more concerned with investing in new facilities - many of which are not used to their full capacity. All of this, combined with the college's staggering debt and lack of alumni support, makes Siena a questionable investment. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Individual Value: F Have a Question?
