Trinity College Top Questions

There is always an element of truth to stereotypes, however are exaggerated; there are a lot of good looking and wealthy students here, and the majority of them are Caucasian. I probably would describe Trinity as a party school because students cannot go out unless intoxicated, but most of the students enjoy that atmosphere and are happy at Trinity.

The school is predominantly white and about half the kids are on some kind of financial aid. On the surface, kids dress well (some girls/boys really overdress for class) but when you get into classrooms, kids look very regular. And yeah, sure, there are definitely kids who don't care about school and would rather party every night, but aren't you gonna find that at every school?

To some degree, unfortunately, yes... but we, the students and the administration, are working to change that to see more tolerance, diversity and unity on the campus. While there is an abundance of privileged students, very few of them are snobs and are welcoming to new people. Students at Trinity have difficulty breaking from their molds and groups, but once it happens, everyone gets along well.

Although there are some very preppy kids here, the majority is not at all.

I think that a large portion of the school is made up of students who come from wealthy backgrounds but the notion that comes along with that, more specifically, that these types of kids don't know how to appreciate anything or know how to work hard, i do not agree with. I find it very frustrating that such stereotypes exist because i do not find them to be true at all.

at times, and with certain people, but i think generally there is a good balance of people who work hard, people who play hard, and people who do both.

While half of Trinity's student do come from independent schools, I do not think that Trinity students are overwhelmingly snobby or upper class. There is a growing amount of diversity on campus that is well-supported and encouraged by the faculty and student body.

To some exgtent, yes, but there are always exceptions
