Which college is better? Socially, athletically, and academically?
Both have their advantages. As a Trinity alum and parent, I can speak to those of Trinity. Trinity is located in the state capital, and as such, has a host of opportunities- internships at Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford Hospital, the many insurance and financial institutions in Hartford, state and national senate offices, and community service organizations, etc. Trinity has a robust internship program and allows students to receive academic credit for internships. Most students take full advantage of the rich opportunities awaiting them in the surrounding city, and those opportunities are not available in rural VT.
