Studying at Trinity is the best experience i I’ve ever had. The student body is so cool, diverse, and supportive, the staff really cares about the students, and the professors are open to anything. Also Trinity is very generous - if u need grant money for research/study abroad/field trip - they always give it. Meals at Mother are really good. They’re diverse, and you can always find everything you need. CAMPUS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, one of the best (if not the best lol) college campuses in the US. Area around campus is so-so, but the campus safety is always on duty, and they have the blue lights system, so as a girl I feel safe about walking across campus even at 2am. Downtown Hartford is cool and pretty btw, it’s better to study at Trinity than in the middle of nowhere. The parties are SUPER FUN. The students are crazy in the best possible connotation. “Work hard - party hard” environment, definitely. Overall, I love Trinity, cannot emphasize it more. Couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else!
Great community and excellent academics, and research and internship possibilities as expected at NESCAC LAC. Campus is beautiful. Like all colleges you have to join a club, intramural team, sport, community service etc to find your peeps, but in general kids are really nice. A fair number of international students. Part of area around campus rough/symptomatic of income inequality, others parts of Hartford area historic, beautiful, all providing opportunities for innovative research and internships. If you want to go off campus, golfing (discount season passes), ice skating, museums, good restaurants nearby (though need car, scooter or uber). Easy to take train to NY or Boston.
I have only been at Trinity College for one academic year, but I have had a great experience so far. All of my professors have been nothing but kind to me in my transition into college, and the pre orientation/orientation programs did a great job of this as well. It has been easy to get involved across campus for several organizations, which I plan on continuing in the coming years. The party scene and dorms can be hard together when trying to sleep, but I am not really involved with the party scene. I currently live in one of the newer freshmen dorms, so I have complaints there. The outside area isn't the greatest, but there is nothing that can be done to change this other than remembering to always travel in pairs. Overall, I think Trinity is a great college and I am looking forward to the next three years.
