Hi.
From what I’ve heard, Trinity has a reputation to be an easy school for really rich people. Does anyone have experience with them?
The area around the school is not great.
Good college on a lovely self-contained campus, although the area around the college is not the best. It used to be a favorite second tier liberal arts college for the prep schools, but it takes more lower income students now than it used to. Still considered to be academically excellent. So no, I think that what you’ve heard is wrong.

The academics have a reputation for being excellent. The kids from my kid’s school who were admitted were all good students, and the recent grads I know, arguably a small subset of alums, are bright and hard-working.

Trinity would not be one of the easiest schools from an admissions or rigor or workload perspective.
It would be a private college priced at $75k+ so there is some definitely some private pay wealth on campus - but it is not the wealthiest of the NE liberal arts colleges for example.

My DS is a freshman, so he’s only been there for half of a semester, but I would say that reputation is false. My sense of the academics is that they are strong without being cut-throat or hugely anxiety-inducing. My DS is learning and stretching academically, and he speaks positively about his professors, but he has time for activities outside of class as well. He’s an athlete, he’s made some friends, and he’s become involved in a club. So, a healthy mix of academics, athletics and personal. He wouldn’t be happy if he weren’t learning. He’d be bored.
