Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The general consensus of Trinity students is that there is some diversity on campus, but that there is not much interaction between ethnic and cultural groups. The majority of Trinity students seem to be from the upper-middle class, white, and American. However, the cultural clubs really are relatively active around campus. Associations like AASA, nominally for Asian-Americans, welcome members from every background and often have culturally-themed get-togethers during the weeknights that are fun for a study break.

Problems like racial profiling by Campus Safety officers and a lack of interaction between students of different backgrounds have been talked about a lot recently. While these are horrible situations that should not exist in the first place, the fact that they are being aired so much in the open does prove that the real majority of Trinity students are those who are concerned about these trends and eager to see them end.

Reputations Aren't Everything

Not much of a diverse campus. The great majority of students are white but once you get to talk to them a lot of them aren't the standard rich prep school cut out.

We're Kind of All the Same

Though diversity is an important part of a college community, we don't really have much diversity. There are obviously all types of people who go here, but I would have to say the most "typical" kind of student is the preppy type hailing from a nice New England town. The "frat boy" and "lax bro" styles are popular among the guys and girls tend to get dressed up for class and by dinner time are rocking the norts and t shirt and stud earrings they wore to the gym. If this is not your style however, no one will really notice; have no fear.

Only Economic

The only differences among students exist in economic background, and other than that, Trin has a lot of diversity among ethnicities/religions/etc. Especially evident in the sciences
