Siena College, located in suburban Loudonville, New York, sits on a 174-acre campus approximately eight miles north of the state capital Albany. Founded by Franciscan friars in 1937, this private Catholic liberal arts institution maintains its religious heritage while serving students of all faiths. The college operates on a traditional undergraduate model with most students living in campus housing, offering programs across three academic schools: Liberal Arts, Science, and Business, with particularly strong offerings in accounting, environmental studies, and pre-health programs. The brick Georgian-style architecture creates a cohesive campus environment, with academic buildings centered around a main quad and modern student residences arranged in village-style communities.
