Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Everyone seems to experience a similarly hard freshman year; Trinity is not perfect. Once you accept that, you can begin settling down, grow comfortable, and view this little oasis in the middle of Hartford as a home for the next four years. Quite a few Trinity students can’t wait for the beginning of September just to get back to school. Another experience everyone else seems to have in common at Trinity is a fierce loyalty to their alma mater—the love for the Bantam is only one example.

Well, now that you’re hip to all the facts and opinions about Trinity College, you without a doubt have a head start on all the other incoming freshmen. Whether you decide to spend the next four years of your life at Trinity or choose another college, learn to accept the college or university that you selected. Don’t be quick to give up or transfer. If half of the students who felt frustrated initially chose to leave Trinity, they never would have discovered what a great place it really is.

Bring a Car

I brought a car and it was awesome to drive around the city. The shuttle is great for getting around campus but without a car u can be stranded on campus.

A-

Social Policy Is Lame but Could Become Unenforced

The new social policy really restricts the frats in theory but they have been able to party ok with the new policy. No more open containers and other stuff but compared to some other schools its great.
