Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Communications  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Trinity really has excellent academics and quality profs and classes. I can't complain at all about my classes. They are, however, very demanding/time consuming, but that's what you go to college for, right? The student body is friendly and fun-loving but tends to be very immature. I've noticed a lot of "academic martyrism" - students like to one-up each other about who's taking the hardest classes, the most hours, has the hardest profs, pulls the most all-nighters, etc. There's a lot of talk to the effect of, "Oh well Pre-med is the best program. I can't believe so-and-so is majoring in Psychology. Like, that's not even a real major, what a slacker and a loser..." etc. It also seems like half the school or more is from Houston. Diversity is somewhat lacking. Trinity bosts a high percentage of international students but they tend to keep to themselves and not mix with the general population too much. San Antonio is a pretty cool college town. There's lots of free/cheap fun things to do, but you sort of have to look for it. It's not the safest city, but such is life in any city in America. There's occasionally an assault on campus but it's very rare. Security is good. Overall it's a nice place, with nice people. It's cozy, small, and intimate, and has that Texas charm. However, being from the northeast, I found it a little too cozy and cliquish. I loved it my first year, but by my second year I felt I had outgrown the school.

I came somewhat apprehensive about moving to Texas, but the people have been great. It is a private school, and the "Trinity Bubble" (also known as the "Gringos on the hill") does exist, but most people are very intelligent and very knowledgeable about their surroundings. I am actually in the middle of a year long study abroad program (definitely look up our international department, it's amazing) and cannot wait to go back.

But I didn't feel bad, as about half of the people who start the program change their mind. The classes are challenging, but the professors are wonderful! The atmosphere is friendly, but a lot of the students are rather out of touch when it comes to life in general. If you come from a middle class background, went to public school, and maybe even had a job, sometimes you will become very annoyed with people who seem to have no concept of reality for most people. A lot students here come from rich, white families and have no concept of money, work, and their idea of a crisis is missing an episode of The O.C. Nice people, but in for a rude awakening if Mommy and Daddy ever stop running their lives for them. Looking back, I should have used my high test scores to get a full ride at a public university with more people like myself. Glad I came though, I have made some good friends, and SA is a cool place to live. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Individual Value: C+ Have a Question?
