Hartford is a city, so you get what is typical of a city;
Taxis are all around, but of course have a rip you off type of fare. There is a local train and bus station (Union Station) that is only about 5 minutes away (depending on traffic) when driving. There is an airport, but I have never gone there so I can't comment on how far. There is a local bus system, but I can't vouch for that and have heard it is almost always not on time. You get a free U-Pass for the local bus system. So if you can figure it out and are willing to use the bus system, then I am assuming you really could get around the area without paying. But if, like most students, you don't want to use that pass/ride the bus system, then you can definitely get around via taxi, train, and typical city transportation. Just be ready to sometimes pay what might seem like a rip off, then again, that shouldn't be surprising if you have ever spent time in a real city.

Seems Bad
I don't have a car, but parking is clearly non-existent and I have heard many people complain of being towed and such.
Local places and activities are far enough from Trinity that a car is definitely nice, especially if you want to get around at night when you shouldn't be walking around. It's just too bad that you will have to deal with the horrible parking and car break-ins.

Hot
What is typically assumed to be attractive is very apparent at Trinity, and therefore, there are a very large percentage of girls that are hot, gorgeous, attractive, etc. This is not to say that "uglier" students are non-existent, but the number of good looking girls far outweighs the "less visually pleasing" ones. It is definitely rewarding to see Trinity's ladies day after day. Some of them have stuck up and/or revolting personalities, but many of the ladies are attractive and pleasant. I have heard enough to assume that the looks for guys are similar, but I can't personally comment on that since I only have a physical attraction to the women. One thing I can say about my fellow sex is that too many of the guys here are obnoxious and self-centered. There are definitely nice and appropriate guys too, but the rude ones are all too apparent and can give a bad representation of the guys.
