The professors have an invested interest in every student. Class sizes are small usually not more then 30-50 students. The biggest class is Intro Bio with between 80-120 students, and my professors still knew my name. They have 5 office hours a week and encourage students to stop by, even if you only have one question. Thats how you build relationships with the professors. I have had 4 professors that have been Department Head at the time I had them, every one is accessible. Trinity is the school for you if you learn best when you're engaged.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love Trinity. There is always something to do on campus. Whether it be a student programming board or residential life activity, to a music or theater show, the whole campus is very involved.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Full costs are about 42K a year. However, most students receive some form of financial aid.
I truly believe that every dollar is worth it. We have some of the nicest, biggest dorms in the country. The Real Foods On Campus dining program allows for an all you can eat one-price meal center where you have lots of varieties. We also have a Java City and an Einsteins Bagel Brothers on campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
You need to stay overnight, or at least visit if you can. You really will know right away if it is for you. I visited April 25th of my senior year, yep thats right 5 days before decision day, and I called the other school I had sent my deposit to and let them know I was going to be attending Trinity instead. That may not be everyone's case, but the visit is what changed my mind. Meeting the students and professors, and they were all so friendly and welcoming, it felt like home.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Its a small campus, less then 2500 undergraduates. It would be good for the type of student that wants to play a sport, but also still get a wonderful education. For the student who wants to do undergraduate research with professors. For the student who needs a little extra help and support academically (dont be shy, I'll admit this is me). For the student that want a fun, safe, loving environment to go to school in, and get a degree that will matter.
