Trinity CollegeHartford, CT (map)
Trinity College, located in Hartford Connecticut, merges two seemingly different worlds: that of a small liberal arts community, and that of a bustling city. This combination merges a small and focused classroom experience and a larger urban lifestyle, bringing a wide range of opportunities to the college’s smaller student body. Trinity sets up students’ first year experiences in a manner that eases the transition into college; each student is assigned to a specific First Year Program which forms smaller groups within each class, further emphasizing an idea of community. In each group, students live, take classes, and study together. On a broader level, all freshmen must live on campus. Trinity College is nondenominational in affiliation and education, ensuring that students receive a well-rounded, non-faith-based background.
In addition to Trinity’s strong ties within its student body, the school ensures that students have a well-rounded experience outside of the classroom. Just under 20% of students participate in the college’s Greek system. Hartford itself features all of the offerings of a state capital, from concerts at the Comcast theater, to Revolutionary War reenactments at the Old State House. Notably, the college’s campus in Rome, Italy is a popular study abroad destination for students at Trinity as well as those from many other schools.
