<p>Obviously, the school's name suggests it is at least somewhat religiously affiliated? However, is Trinity one of those schools that is Christian in name but offers a secular education (like TCU) or one where religion really does dominate the campus (like Baylor)?</p>
<p>TU is not a religious school. There is no requirement to take any religious course, nor is there any requirement to attend any religious service, ever.</p>
<p>It’s a great school, too.</p>
<p>I believe the name Trinity comes from the fact that three colleges merged to form it.</p>
<p>Actually, Trinity’s name reflects its Christian origins and the three regional Presbyterian governing bodies that originally supported its organization. But, that religious affiliation is long since over. Since 1969, Trinity has been a private, independent university with a self-perpetuating board of trustees.</p>
<p>Some of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation are historically “Presbyterian,” but, it is mostly in name only.<br>
“Presbyterian colleges are independent, non-sectarian institutions with historic ties to one or more branches of the Presbyterian Church. Some place particularly strong emphasis on Judeo-Christian beliefs and Reformed traditions. All welcome students of all ages, faiths and cultural backgrounds.”

<p>My daughter attended Austin College in Sherman, TX and her best friends were Presbyterian, Muslim, Hindi, agnostic and Jewish.</p>
