Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

No matter where you live, you’ll do fine with housing at Trinity. Every dorm room comes well-equipped with furniture, a telephone jack, and Internet and cable TV connections. While two of the freshman dorms, Little and Frobb, come across as rather small and unkempt, most other dorms are considered “good” or “bad” based primarily on location. The center of campus, circling the quad, is a prime location, although the dorm rooms are housed in the oldest building on campus. The newest dorms on campus are the Summit dorms, close to the computing center, but not much else. The north side of campus is near Vernon Social Center and the weekend frat parties; it’s inhabited mainly by seniors.

Most students spend all four years on campus. Trinity guarantees ample housing for all its undergrads. If you are unhappy with your lottery number draw, consider signing up for a specialty dorm, like the theme quads in Summit Suites, or you could always join the community service organization, housed in Doonesbury. Because there is plenty of housing, you will almost always be able to find a nice place to lay your head at night.

Trinity Review

I like living on campus a lot. I'm in the worst dorm but I don't mind it and like all the people. Its very expensive though and lacks good merit aid but does have a lot of need based aid. The dining hall is pretty good but the hours arent great, but the Cave is open until midnight which is a nice option but you have to pay more on your meal plan. There are a lot of robberies and the campus isnt very well lit, which makes me feel unsafe in an already unsafe part of the city.

Ok

Freshman and sophomore housing are hit or miss. I was placed in Little dorm, which I thought at first was a terrible thing considering it is not as aesthetically appealing as the other dorms on campus, however the dorm is not bad. From what I've heard, upperclassmen housing is superb, the best being jarvis and summit.

I have enjoyed all of my housing here. Freshman year was alright but thats to be expected. Sophmore year I had a quad with three of my best friends and that was awesome.
