Trinity College Top Questions

I have liked the majority of my professors, but some of them can be really boring or just plain mean. Most of the professors are extremely smart and interesting to listen to, which makes me want to go to class. Really early classes are pretty hard to wake up for, but it's nice to get class out of the way and have the afternoon to do work and relax! I think most students at Trinity are pretty competitive because it is pretty hard school. I see most of my professors outside of class during office hours or meetings. They are very easy to get in touch with and are very supportive of you. The Trinity academic requirements are easy to fulfill and most people want to take classes in the areas you need to take classes in. I am a Psychology and Public Policy & Law double major and I have found some really interesting classes. Some classes that are required for my majors are really hard, but once you get the requirements over with, the electives are much more fun! Most people are able to line up a job before they leave Trinity College, which is awesome! I honestly cannot think of one senior I know that doesn't already have a job lined up for when they graduate.

High academics for a school of our size. Good relationships with professors but students don't always make an effort to learn outside the classroom.

Trinity is a wonderful school in terms of their academics. The professors are all wonderful and they really care about their students. Almost all of my professors know my name and have gotten to know me out side of the classroom. Trinity is a very competitive school, since all of the students are very intellectual and like to do their best. I am an art history major, and the department is wonderful. All of the teachers are great professors but also really smart, funny, and great people.

Class sizes differ a lot. Most teachers know my name and they are most of the times very approachable. There are some good classes which are very interesting. There are good intern opportunities in and around Hartford. The core requirements are pretty standard and I like that there is no language requirement.

If you are willing to put in the effort, you will succeed. Professors are always interested in helping their students if there students show an interest. Professors are really accessible.

I think the academics here are wonderful. I have been able to take all the classes that I have wanted to and I think I am getting an excellent education.

I have a learning dissability and every professor I've had here is extremly helpful to make sure they are accomidating. Its always nice to see a professor in a local coffee shop and have them smile and be excited to say hello. Even on a saturday night at a party if I see someone from class we will occaionally talk about our class and the upcomming paper or how interesting we think the current book is. I've also received grades on papers I wasn't too happy with and the professors are always happy to meet with me and go over there comment.

A plus to the small size is the individual attention that each student receives from the professors.

some classes are small, seminar classes, which are discussion based. others are larger lecture type classes. within your major you will have requirements, but there is a lot of options of taking classes outside your major. there are some really interesting choices such as bioethics, jewish traditions, or a class on Elvis, Dylan, and Springsteen, just to name a few. Teachers are willing to help and it easy to develop relationships with them outside of class if you make the effort. They are implementing a foreign language requirement soon, and there is also 1 math requirement, and 1 science requirement. other than that it is really flexible. most people are either psychology, economics, poli sci, art history, or religion majors. its liberal arts so there are no classes about business which is too bad because its tough to figure out what you wanna do after trinity.

As I said before, I am most satisfied with the smaller classes and the relationships that you are able to develop with your Professors, rather than just being defined by a collected paper or test. I find that my Professors make a strong effort to learn names and allow the student to participate in a comfortable environment.
