Favorite Things To Do
If you’re worried about gaining weight, there are several athletic facilities to utilize. Students can work out in the gym and swim in the indoor or outdoor Olympic-sized pools. There are two jogging trails (although the old one is now used more frequently for hooking up), but if you’re not into physical activity, you can relax at the coffee shop with friends, or play video games on a big-screen TV while having a drink in the Tiger’s Den, where you can also play pool and chess. You could watch a football game in the fall or start a game of ultimate Frisbee. Students can also view the breathtaking wildflowers behind the library, or just hole up in their rooms and take advantage of the super-fast computer network.
Trinity shows at least three major theatrical productions a year, as well as several student-run shows throughout each semester. In the spring, students organize the Chocolate Festival, which features a bake-off, a piñata, T-shirts, music, and chocolate pudding wrestling. They also celebrate with an Earth Day festival with a variety of activities from tie-dying to painting and creating recycled paper. Trinity has an award-winning athletic program, including a football team that consistently wins the SCAC championship, and a women’s basketball team that made it to the finals and won in 2003. Tickets are readily available for students for all games, both home and away. The Tiger’s Den often throws events on Friday nights, from screening and performing the Rocky Horror Picture Show to hosting karaoke contests and live bands. At Christmas time, the Trinity choir combines their outstanding talent with that of the orchestra to perform at the annual Christmas concert. The music program at Trinity is strong and provides fantastic training for the musically inclined. In return, they consistently stage concerts that please the student body and other visitors.
