from Eagle River, AK
Describe your college in three sentences.
tiu is a place that encourages the development of each student holistically. the university's aim is to create a community in which every student can maximize their impact in the world.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
trinity is a place for students looking to develop academically, spiritually, and as a real person. the school requires a lot to be successful, so come prepared!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the majority of the professors are excellent and extremely well qualified. the university has a great student to faculty ratio which allows for a lot of helpful one-on-one interaction with the professors; of course, there are a few rotten apples but they are avoidable! the classes demand a lot but are well worth it if you truly apply yourself.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
the housing options are, well, average. all of the residence halls are set up in an apartment style setting--something most students seem to enjoy. some of the buildings are getting a bit old. overall, the students find a way to maintain a healthy amount of time studying and having fun in the dorms.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
again, the food is average. the selection is usually pretty good and nothing is ever disgusting. the dining services offers two different places for obtaining food which is rather convenient and good for late night studying.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
one of the perks of going to this school is its proximity to chicago--just hop on the train and you're heading downtown. some of the weekends can get pretty dry but there usually is something going on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
this is a small liberal arts college that (i believe) is heading in the right direction. the school has its ups and downs but i believe that it has provided me an excellent place to grow. i'd still pursue this school if i could do it all over again.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
twice a year one of the girls dorms hosts a coffee house style event that allows for students to express their various musical talents for the rest of the campus--one of my favorite events here.
