[quote=Anonymous]How many adults say "this is so not true?" Just wondering, as I know we have kids posting on here.

As an adult who interviews prospective hires for a well known company, Hamilton and Trinity have exactly the same prestige in the real world. Largely unknown LACs, which is true for the LACs outside the top five or so (some exceptions for unique places like Oberlin). You're not going to be hurt attending one over the other. Go to the school you like the most based on instinct and personality.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a "prestige" perspective both schools are more or less the same. Once you get out of the top 4-5 LACS the remaining 15 or so are pretty much similar enough from the perspective that it's not going to wow anyone if you went to one over the other.

Trinity, however, does have a richer vibe than Hamilton, among its students. Both colleges are very preppy but Trinity has that rich edge while Hamilton has a broader intake.[/quote]

This is so not true. Hamilton in my  kids school is known to be much more prestigious even among the advisors. Trinity is considered to be an all around super preppy safety. Many kids who get into Trinity did not get into Hamilton. Only thing "better" about Trinity is the location...Hamilton is isolated.[/quote][/quote]
