Various Questions About Trinity & Dalton (NYC)

Hey guys, fortunately I got acceptance letters from Trinity and Dalton yesterday, and while I am going on revisits sometime in the next month, I wanted to know if anyone on this forum could answer some of the questions I have about these two schools. Thank you!

  1. What's the sense of entitlement from students at the schools? Do people act somewhat snobby sometimes?
  2. To what extent does the drug/alcohol usage go?
  3. Are there cliques (probably, but never hurts to ask)?
  4. Which school would be better academically?

Congratulation! :slight_smile:
It is known that Trinity is better than Dalton academically, but it’s purely up to your preference.
Ask your guidance counselor first, and try to contact any alumni who currently study at both schools.

Numbers 1-3 on your list would be equal between Trinity & Dalton. As far as academic quality, the schools are quite different in terms of approach, so you need to think about which environment will be better for you. They are both fantastic top-tier schools, so really pay attention when you revisit and see which one feel like a better fit. You can’t really go wrong.

Thanks y’all!

Good luck and post back what you decide! Have you had a chance to revisit either school? That will be most important with two such great options.

@bsmom2004 I’ll be revisiting both schools in the next week or so, and I will definitely be posting an update. Thank you!
