<p>I visited Trinity in the fall and aside from its beautiful campus, Hartford seems to be a boring and dull city with a lot of crime and not much to do (aside roam around the small trinity campus, which after a while must get rather boring...) So somebody convice me otherwise!!!</p>
<p>To address your first point: Hartford is anything but boring and dull. Granted, it has its share of crime (none of which trinity students have to deal with), but it is not boring. Plus, as a college student, and a friend of many other college students, I can tell you that a common mistake people make in choosing schools is worrying too much about their surroundings--in other words, when you are in college, you in so absorbed and involved in college life that the city around you is a secondary factor.<br>
Moreover, living in a huge city such as hartford actually has some benefits. Tons of restaurants (pizza restaurants that are open literally 24-7 (delivery)), concerts near by (5 mins) at the civic center/dodge theatre etc...
More importantly though, "roaming around the small trinity campus" does not get boring. Life at trinity is exemplified best by "work hard play hard," which is a lifestyle that is anything but boring. The small campus and small school makes for an awesome atmosphere, imo.<br>
good luck.</p>
<p>I got into Trinity and I am really excited. I already know what the city is like and I know the advantages of a liberal arts education, but I want to know what Trinity is like socially/academically what the people are like etc. what should I be expecting?</p>
