Review of Trinity Western University

from Bellingham, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

Located close to Vancouver, Seattle, and many other areas that can be traveled to during weekends and breaks. Beautiful scenery including a pond and forest on the property. Amazing friendships are built here, the entire school is like a community.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come to preview weekend first. TWU will even reimburse you if you have to travel to get here. You never know how much you will enjoy being at a school until you visit. You get to meet amazing people, experience the dorms you'll be living in, eat the cafeteria food, and there are always activities planned for you.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

With core classes, you'll find yourself taking a large and widespread course load at TWU. The classes are fast paced and you'll go through an entire textbook over the course of a couple months. Most classes are based the same way, one midterm, one research paper, and one final.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Living in dorms at Trinity Western is the ideal experience for this school. Without living in dorms, I wouldn't have met the friends I have today. You become a very close knit community with not only your hallway, but also your entire building. Dorm dates are always fun!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

You'll definitely get tired of the cafeteria, but the daily specials usually mix it up. There are healthy options such as wraps, soups, stir fries and salads, and everything is made for you. There are not many other options on campus besides the cafeteria. There are two coffee shops, each serving the same coffee as the cafeteria, as well as a sub sandwich shop, and Jugo Juice for smoothies.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are so many clubs, activities, and ministries to get involved with at Trinity Western. From outdoor recreation clubs, academic clubs, ministries with the homeless, children, or old folks, you'll find exactly what fits you.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

This is probably the safest campus in Canada! The buildings are small and close together, so you never find yourself walking miles to get somewhere. The school is located out of the way so there are never any random strangers on campus, especially at night. I've never felt so safe walking around by myself!
