Trinity University has challenged me as a student, an athlete, and a young adult. Throughout my experiences thus far, I have learned life-long lessons and developed friendships and connections with individuals who will be an integral part of my future. I am grateful to attend such a prestigious university that offers academic rigor and opportunity to all of its students and alumni.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I suggest that students apply for as many scholarship opportunities as possible before their first fall semester, because costs add up very quickly. Another tip is to develop strong relationships with all of your professors, especially if said professors are knowledgable and well-respected, both on campus and off campus. Finally, get involved on campus as much as possible, whether it be athletics, volunteer work, Greek life, or simply attending campus activities.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academic caliber of Trinity University is not only recognized in the surrounding area of San Antonio, TX, but nationally and internationally. After graduating from the very competitive and rigorous high school I attended, most students felt well-prepared for their first several college courses. Though I felt prepared, I still found classes at Trinity to be an intellectual challenge. I was required to put in long hours of studying and dedicate most of my time to schoolwork, which is more than many of my past high school classmates can say. This is what makes me feel that the academics at Trinity University are superior to many other schools across the nation.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dormitories at Trinity University are very well-kept, especially in the first-year and sophomore quads. They offer laundry, trash and recycling services, as well as a sort of housekeeping service for bathroom sanitation and dorm room vacuuming.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
This is tough to rate, due to the fact that I have eaten at very few dining halls outside of Trinity University. However, post-renovation, Trinity's dining service has proven to be pretty good. They offer a large variety of cuisine and always offer vegetarian/vegan, delicatessen, pasta, and homestyle service among others.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Trinity does a fantastic job of providing on- and off-campus opportunities for students and individuals in the surrounding area. They encourage everyone to participate as much as possible, especially in a student's first year on campus. There's something to do on campus almost every week night, be it a movie screening or a distinguished lecture series.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Cat alliance is a group of students who volunteer to feed, water, and care for the stray cats that are located all over campus. That's a weird tradition, mainly because there aren't many campuses that even host stray cats on campus....
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Academically-inclined students who also like to be social on the weekends. It is also great for students who want to participate in athletics, because school always comes first. This way, students can play and stay in shape while focusing on the pursuit of their degree.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I have never once felt threatened on campus. The area is very secure and campus is located in a safe neighborhood.
