Loudonville

Loudonville is a site at Siena College, a Roman Catholic school near Albany, New York. The Christianity may be 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 is a resident friar on the third floor of the girls' dorm (he never comes out). This is the only site where one is not encouraged to chant "DIE! DIE! DIE!" during Song:American Pie in the Canon. Also known as the gypsy site, the CTY program has moved from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY to Union College in Schenectady, NY and finally to Siena.

Although the girls' dorm rooms in Padua Hall are nice, clean, air-conditioned, and have single bathrooms (no communal showers or anything), the boys' in Ryan Hall aren't quite so nice. If you're a girl, you might still want to bring that electric fan and desk lamp so some guy in your class can borrow them for the session. Some people refer to the site as "sexist" for this reason.

The college staff ride around on golf carts; the grass in the Academic Quad is way better than the grass in the Residential Quad; the food is decent; the cafeteria staff writes notices like "PLEASE PLACE SILVERWEAR DOWN THE SHOOT!!!" at the conveyor belt for "done" trays; freshman orientation and soccer camp happens during session 1; high school girls' basketball camp happens during session 2; the RAs' rooms are often huge; the bookstore is comfy...
