Trinity College Top Questions

The econ department is very good, but part time professors have been more common lately and I have not had a good experience with one yet.

Trinity students work hard. The library is always busy.

Every teacher is so willing to help their students. Also small class sizes are great.

The best thing about Trinity is the professors. Some of them are the best professors I've ever had, and they all genuinely care about students. I have wonderful, personal relationships with them. Students study, they participate in class, have intellectual conversations outside of class, and are uncompetitive. The academics are great. We have great equipment, including four electron microscopes, a mass spectrometer, a GORGEOUS darkroom, a fantastic theater department...it's amazing.

Trinity is known to be a work hard play hard school. Academics are challenging and you'll always find tons of people at the library but people also compensate for their hard work on the weekends. Classes are small and intimate and it's nice to have a personal relationship with teachers. I am a psychology major and since it's a popular major here, my classes are usually pretty large but I would definitely feel comfortable talking to any of my professors outside of class. I am confident that I will find a good job when I graduate!

i love almost all my professors. if you show an interest and try to talk to them outside of class they will be more than happy to help or give you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to academic issues. many students are very intelligent and there are definitely venues in which you can have intellectual debates in a non classroom environment. there are many people for whom that is not true however, people for whom learning ends at the classroom door, who could simply not care less about intelligent discussion. whether or not people participate in class really depends on the class itself, the prof, and how many people are in it. there is generally always an opportunity to participate in class if you want, but there is certainly an opportunity to hide in the back and zone out. the requirments are basic and easy to fulfill, just get em done early so you arent taking math as a senior public policy major.

prof. know my name favorite- history of human rights in africa stat, psyc a loooot for one test around 4-10 hours yes yes history of human rights in africa, immigrants and refugees major- human rights, enviro, international studies some time requirments are fine both

Yes, all my professors know my name and they are very personable. My favorite class is organic chemistry and I study for it very much. My least favorite is Music however I don't have to study for that very much. Class participation is very common. My major is Neuroscience and it is very hard, but very worth it since I'm interested in it.

I know all my professor's names, and they know my name. I really enjoy the majority of my classes, although I must admit that very few students are actively engaged in class. I spend some time with professor's out of my class. I wish there would be a stronger language problem. After all, this is a liberal arts college and thus I think it's important to force students to take a variety of classes so they are well rounded individuals.

some of the professors know my name. my favorite class is math. my least favorites are my two sociology classes (which i got stuck in because of the time slot) women, gender and sexuality and family and society. i study an incredible amount outside of class becuase they give way too much work. class participation is common. trinity students have intellectual conversations outside of class when they are high. i dont spend time with professors outside of class. The education here is learning for its own sake. i will never use this
