Trinity College

Come to Trinity

I absolutely love Trinity College. Even though the stereotype of it being "preppy" does tend to be true, as long as people are nice that is what is important. In addition, not everyone is the same. I am a social butterfly, so I have found that I can interact with and meet various types of people and be happy spending time with different groups. At any school, you are not bound to spend time with the people you don't like, and you are not forced together with anyone. There is plenty to do, and while the frats do tend to dominate the social scene, if you don't want to go you don't have to and you can just hang out with friends watching a movie. The school cares about its students and makes that very clear from the very beginning, and this is why, if I had to re-choose schools, I would take Trinity again without question.

I had a rocky start freshman year, and I seriously considered transferring, but I gave it one more chance and it worked out for me. I found a group of friends with whom I was very compatible, and we have all developed close ties with one another. I have experimented with several majors, and I have found the faculty supportive and helpful as I explored my intellectual interests. Although Trinity is not a utopia by any means, I am thankful that I did not go anywhere else.

My first year at Trinity was a big adjustment. Coming from a public high school and being submerged in a crowd of boarding school graduates, I was overwhelmed with the preppy clothes, the drugs, and the elitist attitudes. I definitely had thoughts of transferring. But during my second year I found a group of students I automatically clicked with. Being such a small school, Trinity is all about groups and cliques and finding your own niche. Once that happens, the rest just falls into place. My academic experience so far has been intense and challenging, while my social life blurs into one big tantilizing fiasco. Although it’s nice to take a break from campus every so often, either for Thanksgiving, spring break, or the end of the semester, I always look forward to returning to Camp Trin Trin.
