Best of Trinity College

Beautiful People; More Diversity Than at First Glance

Trin kids get a bad rap for being a homogenous bunch of prepsters. But the truth is, there are a lot more lifestyles and appearance-styles out there than you think at first glance. Yes, many students have the typical preppy look that they cultivated in NYC, Fairfield County Connecticut, or "Just Outside Boston." But even among that crowd, and among the rest of them, there are always interesting people should you be friendly and get to know a diverse set of individuals and social options. Social options on the weekend include frat life, room & off-campus parties, arts-oriented chillin like the Mill, alternative housing project The Fred, and more. Relationships are notoriously hard to come upon--it is more of a "hookup scene" school, especially for underclassmen--but relationships are there if you, again, work hard to truly get to know people.

Trinity Is Very Relaxed

Hearing stories from many friends who are in different colleges, it is apparent that Trinity is very relaxed when it comes to underage drinking. R.A.'s will write you up, however, if you are having a loud party in your dorm. I can't say I have had much experience with this topic though.

Faculty That Cares

I came for the international studies program and I've been very pleased with the classes and professors. If you bother going to a professor's office he will take a genuine interest in you, plus they are always available for help and are flexible when you need it.
