Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Political Science  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Super Brilliant I started out in the premed program, and that changed after about 3 days! 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?

Definitely consider what you want from your college experience. Trinity students are by and large here to learn, everything else comes second. Innovation: A+, Social Life: B Have a Question?

I liked most of my professors, as they were very willing to help, provide advice, etc. I also found that double majoring/minoring plus a year of study abroad was very doable with the fantastic help of the international office. If study abroad/international stuff is your thing, this is a great school that encourages you to go wherever you want. They are great for (upper level) Spanish, but unfortunately don't have the resources for real linguistics/less common languages (i.e. non-Romance language) courses. I would say the educational quality and perception outside the university seems to be centered around: bio/chem/premed, engineering, economics, Int'l Studies (e.g.Lat Am studies), and Accounting-particularly the 5 year MS program. I also did a lot of poly sci coursework, and while the upper division courses were enjoyable, I found a couple of the intro classes to be absolutely asinine. There wasn't much of an concerted effort to publicize or help finding relevant internships in my majors- though I did go and find one myself despite them. I did have the opportunity to help with research with a professor. If you can form close relationships with 1-2 profs, as is more likely if you go to a smaller school, they will be an invaluable resource for grad school as well as undergrad possibilities. Unique to the school: Emphasis on study abroad, Economists in the Schools program (where you teach kids econ over a semester), Pretty good D3 football team, Student Managed Fund, and an ass-kicking engineering program. All in all, I formed great friendships at Trinity, and I absolutely do not agree that there was nothing to do/everyone only studies/everyone's immature. Some people seem to be confused- people study to much but are way too immature? I usually don't associate those qualities with each other. Anyways, there were parties all the time, but the overall IQ and awareness of current events of most of the population is well above the population at large. Sure, there are a lot of peroxide blonde sorority sisters getting their MRS degree, but as only some 25% of the study body is involved in a frat/sorority, the whole school doesn't really revolve around them like your SMU-esque college does. My only reservation about going to Trinity is how expensive it's become and how much loan debt I'm in despite partial scholarship/parental help- I'm not sure its growing regional reputation would warrant the price of it now- even if they have increased scholarship money somewhat.
