Trinity is a wonderful school. The community here is very tight-knit and God-centered. I could not ask for a better school to attend!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit campus! It's obvious from the pamphlets that the campus is beautiful, but it isn't until you visit that you can see how wonderful the community here is, how kind and engaging the professors are, how fun life in the dorms is, and what a wonderful place Trinity is to live and attend school!
Also, pray about your decision. Only God will lead you to the right school!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
While Trinity is definitely a step up from your high school coursework, the profs do a good job of easing you into college. Each year carries new responsibilities and a heavier workload, but it's worth it to know you're that much closer to graduation! The profs are very helpful and accessible, which makes all the hard work that much easier.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Living in the dorms is absolutely wonderful! So many kids make great friends with their suitemates and hallmates. The residence life staff is so helpful and caring, and they make life in the dorms truly enjoyable. Plus, suite style living is the best! It's the exact right ratio of privacy and community. The dorms are all very nice and I have no complaints about life in the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
In all honesty, the caf food isn't that bad... but it isn't that good, either. It is better than most colleges, and the cafeteria staff works hard to get student feedback and heed students' advice. They also have plenty of healthy options, as well as vegetarian options, and the desserts are always really yummy!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Student Activities works so hard to make sure weekends on campus are engaging and fun for those who wish to stick around. There's lot's of fun events, like Trollstock, OPUS, spring formal, the blacklight dance, and much more! Plus, different clubs and groups around campus are always putting on events. If none of that suits your fancy, you could go see one of the plays that's going on, grab coffee at the BBC with your friends, or go to one of the events that your res hall is putting on! Life on campus is never boring and there's always fun stuff to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Trinity is expensive, but it doesn't have to break the bank. I personally did not have to take out a single loan, and I come from a very middle-class family. Trinity is worth every dollar you spend. The classes are great, the campus life is so fun, and the experience is something that can't be beat!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Trinity Trail is unique to campus! It's our own personal nature trail, about 3 miles in length, that runs around the length of campus and along the creek. It's very pretty and is a fun way to kill an afternoon!
The BBC is another fun Trinity hub. It's like our own personal Starbucks, and you'll see friends getting coffee, community members munching on a Bootsma Burger, groups having Bible study, and professors meeting with students to chat.
Trollstock is our annual talent show, and is super fun to attend! The winners get cash prizes, and almost everyone on campus shows up to watch.
OPUS is our annual academic celebration, which sounds really boring but isn't! It's a whole week filled with fun.
Other fun traditions include Trollerskating, Black and White Jazz Night, Spring Formal, Drum Circle in chapel, Troll Madness, and much, much more!!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Trinity is great for the student who wants to go to college and have a great time! If you're looking for life-long friends, you'll find them here. If you're looking for a Christian atmosphere, make yourself at home. If you want the time of your life, you've come to the right place.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a club for everything on campus! And the best part? If it doesn't already exist, it's so easy to start a club for whatever you want! Clubs are so active and are always putting on events.
The activities on campus are great! There is always something to do.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is literally nonexistent on campus, and I don't think anyone really misses it at all. I certainly don't!
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is very active on campus. You always see them driving around in their golf carts or going around the parking lot watching out for us. I feel very safe on campus- even late at night.
