Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Most students that come to Trinity find a niche and have a wonderful four years at the University. The experience can be as exciting or as mundane as you make it, but no matter what you do outside the classroom, the academic standards never fall. You will find that there is a lot of work to do, but the education you get makes it all worthwhile. It is really important to put yourself out there to benefit from the Trinity community, because they offer so many opportunities for you to find your niche. 

Students on every campus are going to find something to complain about. At Trinity, it’s the common complaints that make everyone laugh and complain some more, but no one ever actually takes measures to change things. Why? Because when it comes down to it, the people that come to Trinity enjoy the four or five years that they spend here and wind up happy that they worked hard and gave up sleep for an educational experience that prepares them for the future. No graduate will make the mistake of thinking that at Trinity they received a greater understanding of the diversity of culture that exists all over the world, even though they might have to study that in an undergraduate classroom. However, they will know that they received a first-rate education and the memories that came from four years of being a part of a university that gave them the opportunity to learn as much as they had the creativity to pursue.

Greek Life at Trinity University

Greek Life Is Big, but Changing

Our (social) Greek org's are not national, so not as intense but they still do a lot of pledging activities. As strict as Trinity's hazing policy is, there's still some (unsaid) issues. However, the Uni administration wised up and cracked down on the ones with hazing, so it should change. Either way, Greeks are a big part of campus and throw lots of parties, but they're okay to get along with around campus even if you're not Greek. Trinity also has several co-ed business and service fraternities that don't haze but have varying levels of intensity during rush. They range from regional to international and make up the majority of the student population.

Campus Strictness at Trinity University

Strict Academics, Safe for Social

Trinity has an academic honor code that is strictly enforced, but socially you're good unless you are on ResLife or caught drinking in an underclassman dorm. The basic policy is: go off campus and if anything happens, report it b/c no one gets in trouble. The police force is more annoying about parking (which is nonexistent) than anything, but it definitely makes walking around the open campus feel safe at night!
