Trinity College Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

Ashley

i would love it if there were places that we could go off campus to party, but there are very few options within walking distance, and that number keeps getting smaller. so that leaves students to party on campus, which ends up creating controversy among students in different social circles (people who want to go out versus people who don't who get fed up with the noise and the party mentality).

Trinity is definitely a social campus. There is something to do almost every night of the week and consistent partying Thursday-Sunday and usually on Tuesdays as well. Students here "work hard and play hard" and attend athletic events as well as sorority functions. While it is fun to travel up to Boston or down to New York on the weekends, students are generally reluctant to do so because the Trinity social scene is so vibrant.

The most popular part of Trinity's social like is drinking and the greek life on vernon street. it seems like the weekends revolve around alcohol. not many people here have boyfriends or girlfriends, rather, sudents choose to "hook up" randomly with different people every weekend.

trinity has a really fun social life. i spend most of my nights at the frats, but there are other options too, such as the fred. students leave their doors open. athletic events are very popular, especially in the spring time. i met my closest friends in my dorm freshman year and through my sorority. if i'm awake at 2am on a Tuesday, i'm either studying for a test, writing a paper, or coming home from the tap. people party at least 3 nights a week.

Good social scene. Mostly on campus activities. Lots of drinking, generally go out 3 to 4 nights a week. It is only 20 percent greek but that is the social life that I am mostly familiar with. I mostly attend greek events and after that, TCAC events like the 80s dance. Spring weekend is the best annual event. Its also nice to have a movie theater on campus to give you something to do on a boring wednesday night.

as stated before, kids at trinity love to party. if you dont like to drink or do drugs, there are not a lot of options on a saturday night, except perhaps to leave campus or watch a movie. love them or hate them, frats completely dominate the social scene.

Chandler

Frats only. Excessive drinking

Emily

The fraternaties are basically where most of the weekend social life takes place. Sporting events are also very popular namely the football games and squash matches. If you are awake at 2am ona tuesday you are either at the campus bar hanging with friends, or doing work at the library. Hartford offers amazing restaurants and fun bars - fun alternatives to the on campus social life

Sarah

There are many events on any given day at Trinity, which speaks to the large array of student interests. Some events are more well-attended than others, but in general those events that are well advertised will have a good amount of students at them. Drinking and partying is a huge part of the campus culture. Most students, whether they are going to fraternities or not, are binge drinking, which seems completely normal to most students. We have a repuatation for having a very good time.
