<p>Hi, I am an international student. I applied to these schools and already got into some of them. I have no major preference right now and I have researched this schools and I am finding it difficult to choose one.
Can anybody who attends this schools, knows them, or has any kind of experience with them tell me about them and what is their opinion?
I live really far away from all of them so it will be far to visit them.
Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>You’ll want to check out Princeton Rev for some summaries on how the colleges are like. I believe Trinity is the strongest academically among those listed. Austin College is in a really small town, whereas Trinity feels like it is isolated but it is surrounded by San Antonio.</p>
<p>I can only talk about 3 of the 4. Centre is in a really small town in KY, not near anything else, really. The campus is nice. Student body a little over 1000. Austin is in Sherman, a small town north of Dallas, so about 6 hours north of San Antonio. Also a small student body and a nice campus. Trinity is right in San Antonio, but has a definitely defined and very pretty campus. The population of ~2700 includes 250 graduate students. All three will give you a nice education, but SA is really the best setting of the three. The international community is very active. I agree with pinnacle that TU is the most rigorous. Of these three, I would say TU has the best all around weather during the school year, but none has even close to the cold you would encounter in MN. Other than that I can’t say anything about the school there.</p>
<p>If sports mean anything to you, the three I wrote about compete in the same athletic conference, SCAC. At the moment, TU is ranked 15th of 433 schools in D III, far ahead of the next conference member, DePauw, at 105.</p>
<p>please help me to choose, I am really really confused now</p>
<p>I am currently a sophomore at Grinnell, and given the 4 options and being international, I would say your first concern should be finances. If that is irrelevant, choose the one with the best location. That’s clearly Trinity (San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the US), is smack in the middle of downtown and has B-E-A-UTiful weather all year! The location also means lots of internship possibilities that you wont get in a small town.</p>
<p>On rankings as well, Trinity is WAY ahead of the others. (number in US News Masters West)</p>
<p>Furthermore, Trinity has the perfect campus size. Anything below 2000 students is too small, and anything above 4000 is too big.</p>
<p>If I was given the choice, I would go for Trinity without hesitation, but then again what works for me does not work for everyone else</p>
<p>Feel free to PM me if you need any more advice.</p>
<p>PS This is dependent on the basis that all colleges have the major you are thinking about. Trinity wins in any case here too, since it has liberal arts, and top business and engineering programs as well if thats what you are thinking about</p>
<p>Come to Trinity, I am sure you will like it.
I am an international myself from Nepal and I was really surprised by how Trinity exceeded my expectations.
It has a beautiful campus and lots of diversity; it focuses so much on internatioal students, much more than any other college in your list.</p>
<p>But yes, financial aid must be your first priority. If you have any specific concerns or queries, shoot me a PM and I will be glad to respond.</p>
