Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Trinity is making a step in the right direction, in regards to campus facilities. For one, the library is fantastic. There are plenty of places to study with a variety of sweeping, panoramic views of campus. There is also a study lounge encircling a large fireplace for the winter. In the basement is the computer lounge, and the librarians are eager to help you whenever and however they can. The movie theater is in a converted play-theater, with dual levels and red curtain and all. It is definitely an experience; although for those who prefer less arthouse-type flicks, Crown Palace Theater is a five-minute drive away. The gym does not have enough treadmills, but the rest of the equipment is more or less up-to-date.

Overall, Trinity’s facilities are indicative of just how small this school really is. Don’t expect any big university-type efficiency here. Buildings are definitely designed for aesthetics as well as for a particular use. There may not be an official student center at Trinity, but in a sense, students would argue that the whole campus is our student center. Living at Trinity, you don’t feel as though you are one person living in a huge complex; rather, you feel like one big family living in a really big house.

Trinity's Strong Point

Trinity's campus is undeniably beautiful, with 3 quads and the central chapel area is reminiscent of Oxford. The relatively recently renovated Library has really helpful research librarians and a ridiculous amount of resources. The Athletic Center is very accessible and offers a ton of equipment, along with a pool open most hours.

On the downside, unless you belong to a sports team, frat, or fit in with a more artsy crowd, you'll be hard-pressed to find much else to become involved in. There are other clubs, but as it is a very small school those become cliquey as well.

Over-All They're Great

Though I still haven't been inside all the buildings on campus despite my being a sophomore, I would have to say the facilities are great. The class rooms along the Long Walk are clearly the best but I don't mind those I have in other buildings. The dining options can seem repetitive, but you'll always be able to find at least one place to eat at any given time. I would also have to commend the resident halls, they're pretty fabulous and a lot of the buildings have singles and quads that have a common room and single bed rooms inside. Though our athletic facility is very big, the layout can seem a little confusing at first and the weight/exercise room is a little small. However, the campus is really beautiful and is the second oldest school in CT. It often reminds me of Hogwarts and at night when the buildings are under lit, they are really beautiful.

Facilities at Trinity

Facilities are well maintained at Trinity. All academic and athletic areas are really well kept and monitored well. Dorms, however can be a little different. Some dorms are nicer than others as usual. If you have a problem with your room though, it's really easy to get facilities members to come and fix things.
