Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Those who live off campus, for the most part, live directly off campus—no more than a block away from the dorms. You don’t save much money by renting an off-campus apartment, and you miss out on important things like an Ethernet connection, cable TV, and convenience and safety benefits. Because students choose to live so closely, they don’t lose out on much of the community feel of Trinity, nor do they receive a greater feeling of independence or individuality.

The only real reason to live off-campus is if you live in a sorority or fraternity house. Those are located on Allen Place, a block from Vernon Place, a main street of Trinity’s campus. Each year, several people will also rent houses or apartments on Crescent Street, which is the same street that houses the notorious Sophomore Slums.

Dangerous Streets for Students

Off-campus housing is quite awful. While it provides a break from the RA's writing you up, the neighborhood makes living off campus an unattractive option. The crime rate is high and students do get mugged more often than not. Unfortunately, some of the houses off-campus are on very dangerous streets.

Living off-campus breaks you off from accessing on-campus services from both the buildings and grounds department. Hence, a broken window off-campus requires either the student's efforts in fixing it or having a repair man come to replace it. Living off-campus also means that the campus's IT center can't help with a failed cable connection or weak internet access.

Living off-campus isn't even cheaper, really. The costs that go into paying for cable, food, heating, etc, really makes off-campus housing a hassle and no less expensive than living on-campus.

My grade is an F.

Not That Many Options

Hartford is not a town full of comfy places to stay. It has its cheap places but you shouldn't expect any form of luxury. The neighborhood is not that safe either..
