Trinity College Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Trinity College accurate?

Shelby

for the most part

Chandler

Probably

Emily

Yes, for the most part it is true but it is definitely not the entire student body that fits into this category

Sarah

This is not indicative of the entire student body, but it represents a fairly large percentage of it. I find that most of the people who fit these stereotypes are involved in Greek life.

Dale

no, there are actually alot of diverse individuals on campus

Katie

To some extent, yes. The foundations of the stereotypes are true, but they are built upon to make seem worse than they are in reality.

Molly

Most stereotypes one hears are true when it comes to the students who attend Trinity. There is definitely a large handful of handsome guys at Trinity, especially on the athletic teams. As for the way people dress, many of the girls tend to look alike. A lot of the girls can be found carrying the same bag or wearing the same raincoat or winter jacket. Individual style is quite uncommon at Trinity and it seems as though everyone must shop at the same store because even the guys dress identically. The one stereotype that rang untrue was making friends and being accepted into new groups of people. I found it quite easy to make friends and that for the most part, everyone was welcoming and also looking to broaden their groups of friends.

Kate

sometimes

Alex

Somewhat

samantha

To a certain extent, the stereotypes are true. When you walk around campus there are so many good-looking people, but I think that most of what trinity has is overlooked because everyone is so hung up on the stereotypes.

Emily

Although some aspects of these stereotypes are true, from my experiences at Trinity this does not describe the school as a whole. Yes, the majority of students on campus are white and from the New England area, but there are also many people who are from DC, NY, and California.

Kellie

Pretty much.

Olivia

No, I don't believe they are accurate although I do understand why those stereotypes come about.

Meghan

not completely - you do see that but its certainly not everyone

Megan

yes for the most part

Rosie

Often times, yes.

tory

somewhat. there definitely are a lot of kids like that, but not everyone on campus.

Katie

Sometimes depending on the person

Liz

I think the majority of students here are wealthy but there is only a small amount of people I would consider snobby.

Ashton

The stereotypes about the students are not true.... but you will always get a couple kids like that. Trinity is a serious school that should be given more credit.
