[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never been to Trinity, so I can't offer a comparison.  But I agree with the PP that Conn is very pretty, and you can see the sound from the main campus on a clear day.  What I will say, though, is there is not a huge amount of capital improvement going on, as far as I could tell.  [/quote]

Well they don't have much of an endowment.  And what they have,  they're spending on bribing families to come with merit aid.  They are on the bottom rung of the NE SLAC ladder, and it's a shrinking region demographically.  This is a college that will be struggling within a decade. [/quote]

I hate to say this is true, but Union College which has a similar ranking just had a bond downgraded. Trinity might be in a stronger position due to its finance connection, but schools like [b]Gettysburg, Conn, HWS or Union are in trouble.[/b] Kids even in the Northeast  are pulling away from liberal arts colleges. Someone who a decade ago would have gone to Conn is looking at South Carolina or NC State. [/quote]

Are you in your senses? Or is it late night too much?

Here are Forbes College Financial Grade:

Gettysburg - A(3.96)
HWS - A (4.01)
Conn - A (4.09)
Union - A+ (4.32)
TrinColl - A+ (4.5)[/quote]
