[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,  [b]they're spending on bribing families to come with merit aid. [/b] 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]

You say “bribing families to come” as if an 85k price tag is a normal, natural state of affairs. It’s not. It’s outrageous, in fact. [/quote]

+1.  And PP's other silly comment was that "[i]They are on the bottom rung of the NE SLAC ladder[/i]".  Criticizing them for being the lowest ranked NESCAC schools is just as dumb as criticizing Cornell for being the lowest ranked Ivy.

They are exceptionally excellent academic schools to anyone who looks objectively and does 5 minutes of research.  Don't believe what you read here.[/quote]
