Thoughts on Trinity College in Hartford?

[Anonymous]

I chose it over 5 other options. Loved it. Prepared me well- went on to earn 2 more degrees. 30+ years later I still have the same friends in my life, and am grateful for it all.
‘FWIW’

Same here. Very prepared, great professors who I’m still in touch with, amazing athletics so a lot of fun spirit, nice campus and made friends for life who married amazing people and who are still bffs. It says a lot imo.

Is it too social-justicey? The admissions website has a lot of strong language on BLM? I only care because it’s a small school so that could get overwhelming quickly.

Ha,ha no! Their most famous graduate is Tucker Carson.

People are so pretentious and harsh on this forum.

They are exactly the same school.

That was a long time ago.

They have a lot of language on their admissions website about social justice. So it sounds like they’re trying to distance itself from its old prep school image.

Here’s an example:

They may be trying to shift their image but at this point they are what they are. Def. Like conn. College, it’s good school but not great location so is passed over sometimes.

They may be mediocre students, but they sure are brave to live in that neighborhood.

I suspect the administration is trying hard with “woke” language but the essence of the school has not changed. I say this as the parent on a non-white child who decided not to apply there. It seems like a really comfortable place for a white frat boy.

Do not send your child to Trinity unless they are the white frat/sorority type and even then - they might end up drug addicts. I went there and graduated 4 years ago. Bigotry racism sexism and homophobia was rampant. Lots of bullying and cattiness. If you weren’t in a “good” frat (AD, Psi U, the Hall) or sorority (Kappa or Ivy) you didn’t matter, and if you want to be in one prepare to be hazed brutally. Lots of drugs (Xanax and coke mainly) around - several kids I knew ended up in rehab.
