<p>Please tell any and every thing you know about Trinity. No fact or opinion too small!</p>
<p>Decision date is looming. Any comments at all?</p>
<p>Trinity was one of my top choices but I'm not going. Hopefully I can help you out?
-Can take classes at other colleges (Wesleyan, Conn, St. Joe's, etc)
-20% go Greek...influence on social life
-no core curriculum, just a seminar freshman year
-It seems like they have a really good study abroad program esp. in Rome/Spain/Chile/Paris...
-shuttle buses everywhere in case you want to go out
-they really work to make internships available for ya</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, where are you going instead? Do you know any current students?</p>
<p>Brandeis.
No I don't know any current students.</p>
<p>Can you make your question a little more specific? Most of the general information you can find on the website.</p>
<p>I guess I am looking for non-web site informtion such as: are the academics as stellar as the school would have you believe? Is there enough to do seeing as how the campus is sort of a community unto itself (in that you don't walk down the street to go out to eat or browse in a bookstore) Interesting students?</p>
<p>I'm a freshman so I haven't been in many classes, mostly introductory. However, I can say that the math, science, and engineering classes will work you like a dog but you come out of the class having learned quite a bit. A lot of classes in econ and english past 101 I hear involve large papers and lots of reading but it also depends on the professor. There are definitely joke classes but you won't find many. I'm in samba ensemble right now and it's a 1/2 credit, meet 3 hours a week, and yet we still have to read a book and write a paper.</p>
<p>As for campus life, it sometimes depends on the weekend but there is generally plenty to do. Greek life tends to be a bigger part of festivities than I thought when I enrolled but it's not really a big deal.

<p>Basically, I can say I'm never bored at Trinity. When I'm not doing homework (which is rarely the case), I'm usually working on The Tripod, the robot study team, at the computing help desk, or seeing a movie at Cinestudio or hanging out with friends. The three caf</p>
<p>Thanks alot, just trying to get a feel for day to day living there, quality of life, academics, etc.</p>
