I love that it’s a small campus and that I can have more help from professors! The food is good compared to other colleges, and it takes 10 minutes tops to walk to class. There are two coffee shops on campus, one you can actually use meal swipes at for breakfast and lunch so that’s really nice. I would like to have a pool/swim team on campus. The closest is at the Y. Also at the coffee shops lunch starts at 10:30 am and you have to buy coffee instead of getting it with your meal swipe, so it would be nice to have lunch at 11 that way I don’t have to get up super early to get coffee included with my meal. There are “flex dollars” which you get $75 of a semester and you can use those to buy stuff with instead of actual cash if you run out of meal swipes, it’s extremely helpful!
TrineOnline is a unique experience that I was NOT prepared for at all. I was so completely stressed out about the format and not being in a classroom sitting front and center jotting down all the notes and paying attention. I struggled HARDCORE, but with the level of compassion and love for education and their students, the online professors extended themselves as the valuable resources they are assuring me that I was not alone. My professor for a high level Psychology course reacted instantaneously to my stressed out email regarding the beginning of the semester by immediately reassuring me that I would not be left to drown in material, but that she would also extend one on one time if need be and particularly called me and worked over the first two chapters of the course. Further, the transition to online class for our regular in class purses was seen less and offered a surreal experience comparable to the experience TrineOnline provides.
I went into the whole college experience unprepared, misguided, and with no specific interests from what I wanted from it. I knew what I wanted to major in and become, but nothing more and nothing less. With my tour of Trine and meeting with my now Academic advisor and one of my Major’s head of the Dept. I knew that Trine was for me. The past two years, and this year specifically I benefited plentifully due to the close quarters interactions and small student-staff ration. Moreover, the level of gratitude and respect I have towards all members of the staff is immeasurable as they truly go above and beyond to help you find the best opportunities academically, socially, and with your collegiate and professional career. Even with TrineOnline, I struggled because I’m a very hands on/visual student and the online instructor called me and went over the chapters with me that I was struggling with simply due to the format. This year was incredible, even with regard to the global pandemic.
