Trinity College Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Trinity College accurate?

Lindsey

I believe so

Jillian

The study body does have a wealthy population but money isn't everything, in the classroom setting it doesn't matter how much money you have in your bank account, its a matter of how hard you work and care about your studies. In terms of sorority life there are many different financle plans one could be on and Trinity is very supporive to allowing every student a chance or opporuntiy.

Kendall

to a certain extent, but you have to keep in mind that the whole east coast and other NESCAC colleges are very similar

julia

you can make your trinity experience whatever you want. if you want to make the sterotype accurate you can. as for the drugs, perhaps in some circles they are rampant, but again, if thats not your scene it doesnt have to be.

I think most are overgeneralized perceptions, which is what makes it a stereotype, but I also believe these perceptions arise from some kernnel of truth

Kristina

sometimes yes

Sarah

To some degree. A fair amount of the student body relative to the real world comes from affluent backgrounds however certainly not all.

Jesse

not for everyone. but definitely for a faction of the student population that makes themselves very visible.

Rachel

To some extent.

Ashley

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.
