As the book says: "Located in a serene suburb of Albany, New York, Siena College ranks as one of the Northeast's premier small, private liberal arts colleges. Founded by the Franciscan Friars, Siena focuses on developing both competency and compassion. A state-of-the-art library and science building are only two of the many new facilities developed at Siena to provide students with a unique liberal arts education. The college also recently completed construction of a new residence hall, creative arts venues, a student union, and athletic facilities. Approximately 360 students and 90 staff members are expected to attend each session."

Loudonville is a site at [http://www.siena.edu/ Siena College], a Roman Catholic school near Albany, New York.  The Christianity may be weird or annoying to many non-Christians, since there are crucifixes in nearly every room (none in the dorm rooms, though).  They even have monks and there are resident friars on the third floor of the girls' and boys' dorm (You see them at a rate of about one a day). Here, grass orgies were banned because it was "offensive" to the friars. This is the only site where one is not encouraged to chant "DIE! DIE! DIE!" during [[American Pie]] in the [[Canon]], in deference to a suicide which happened at the site several years ago.

Site Information

Loudonville is referred to by many, many names, due to its changing its location twice. It is also referred to as Hamilton (Clinton), Union (Schenectady), and Siena (Loudonville). Other names include "Hamunioniena" or "Hamuniena," or simply the gypsy site.

Overview

As the book says: "Located in a serene suburb of Albany, New York, Siena College ranks as one of the Northeast's premier small, private liberal arts colleges. Founded by the Franciscan Friars, Siena focuses on developing both competency and compassion. A state-of-the-art library and science building are only two of the many new facilities developed at Siena to provide students with a unique liberal arts education. The college also recently completed construction of a new residence hall, creative arts venues, a student union, and athletic facilities. Approximately 360 students and 90 staff members are expected to attend each session."

Loudonville is a site at Siena College, a Roman Catholic school near Albany, New York. The Christianity may be weird or annoying to many non-Christians, since there are crucifixes in nearly every room (none in the dorm rooms, though). They even have monks and there are resident friars on the third floor of the girls' and boys' dorm (You see them at a rate of about one a day). Here, grass orgies were banned because it was "offensive" to the friars. This is the only site where one is not encouraged to chant "DIE! DIE! DIE!" during "American Pie" in the Canon, in deference to a suicide which happened at the site several years ago. This tradition has become less and less prevalent over the years, however.

Although the girls' dorm rooms in Padua Hall are nice, clean, air-conditioned, have nice carpets, and have single bathrooms (no communal showers or anything), the boys' in Ryan Hall aren't quite so nice, especially the basement which smells. On the last day, the girls and boys get to visit each other's dormitories, and some girls have remarked that Ryan Hall resembled a prison. The rooms are about the size of a huge bathroom on the third floor of Padua, which is still tiny for a dorm room. There is, however, a vent expelling hot air out the building. Not one room in Ryan is air-conditioned. Ryan Hall also has many fire doors, making it quite the maze. It's said that every fire door brings a new smell.
