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.
