Trinity is definitely a hidden gem.
Trinity is a melting pot of cultures
Trinity is overall a great platform for those looking to expand themselves academically, socially, and mentally.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
1. Have all your paperwork, the office of enrollment like organization and transparency.
2. Be optimistic, Trinity isn't a huge school. We are a humble little campus. Doesn't mean it's not worth it going here.
3. Be organized with classes. The classes really aren't trying to kill you. If you do all of your work and actually put yourself on a schedule, 4.0 can be yours.
4. Find a study group, make one, something! You need to study.
5. Study first, club or fun activity as a reward. Alot of students get caught up with the fact that DC is full of clubs and activities for the college generation. This can hinder your grades. Use those attractions for rewards to yourself.
6. Get INVOLVED! Find a club to join, it'll make college easier. you need to socialize.
7. USE YOUR PROFESSOR'S OFFICE HOURS! They will boost your confidence in that class, subsequently boosting your grades. Get all your questions and concerns out then.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academically this school is great. I think they could be tougher because I have witnessed students cheat their way through a class.
Besides the few rotten apples, the class sizes are what's most appealing to me. The fact that I can access my professor and get one on one time instead of competing for attention, boosts my academic capabilities. The overall curriculum I'm still evaluating, I think it's pretty rigorous so far, but definitely achievable.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love Trinity's aged charm, but I believe the dorm halls definitely need restoring. The architecture is great, the condition is not.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
I am probably one of very few, but I like the food in the dining hall. You do have your hit and misses, but with our new chef, I think the food is diverse, healthy, and tasteful. Alot of people DON'T like it because its not the typical, pizza, burgers, and fried foods everyday. The dining team definitely introduced some foreign cuisines this recently that only cultured individuals would appreciate.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
This is where Trinity Washington University needs a reality check in the administration and student services department. I appreciate the faculty who run this area of Trinity BUT, Trinity is absolutely, positively boring. We have student activities that really try to make an effort to gather the student body together but because we are right in the middle of Catholic U and Howard it's hard for us to keep up. Why? Trinity doesn't give their students the same privileges as the surrounding schools. Therefore, many of our girls go running off to Howard or Catholic U to have fun.
Now in no way am I saying the student body is boring. We have an extreme amount of potential. We just need the administrators to give us the platform the way we need it. I know the ins and outs of this topic because I am an officer of a club here and we often converse about possible activities, then have to reconsider due to limitations.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
If you can't afford any other College/University in Washington, DC, I'd say that this is your GO-TO! Sits between two awesome schools (Howard and Catholic U), you're literally a walk away from Brookland Metro Station, there's plenty of shopping and attractions in all directions from downtown (Gallery Place/Chinatown/MetroCenter/WhiteHouse/ Smithsonian), north (downtown silver spring/wheaton mall), southwest(Pentagon city mall, Alexandria, airport), Southeast dc(navy yard, eastern marker, capitol hill), NW (georgetown, harbor, kennedy center, etc) and well our area NE/NW (Howard Theater, restaurants, columbia heights, U street, etc)
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Well Kerby Hall has been recognized nationally as a haunted landmark ;-)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Small town individuals, shy people, those in great need of financial assistance, those looking to expand their horizons without culture shock,
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We have alot of Clubs! I can't list them here but if you visit Trinitydc.edu you can find them. Girls love starting clubs and I think they're very successful especially when it comes to going out and networking.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Only Greek organization I'm aware of here on campus is Delta Sigma Theta Inc.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
That's one thing you'll never have to worry about. We have a great team of security guards and campus police officers. A little too overbearing at times, but I'd rather be protected than anything else.
