Even in the snow, Trinity College is beautiful. Check out the Underground Cafe for a delicious warm beverage!
Trinity College offers much for a variety of tastes and interests. The Chapel is a gem of neo-gothic architecture; and includes wonderful, locally symbolic carvings at the ends of each of the choir stalls. Classic high-Anglican but welcoming of all faiths. In the autumn, the Trinity Bantams showcase excellent NESCAC football featuring a very strong reputation for winning and disciplined, fair play. A good time is had by all fans. In the spring, the baseball team brings back the classic pastime on the gently sloping campus dotted with flowering trees. And through-out the academic year (and often beyond it), the Trinity Cine-studio offers a mix of classic and recent films of note. The prices are reasonable- and the general public has been responding to the ambiance and the progams for decades. Finally, the library is open for vistors- computers are available when checking in at the desk. Trinity is truly a first class establishment.
Throughout the summer months, bring your lawn chair or blanket, picnic on the Quad green, and enjoy the sounds of the 49-bell carillon, played from the tower of Trinity College Chapel. The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with a recital inside the Chapel, then moves out to the lawn for the 7:00 p.m. carillon concert played the staff carilloneur as well as visiting musicians.
It's always a pleasure just going on campus,the students are so well behaved & even helpful.They have some attractions that are always worth the trip.
The great English architect William Burges desiged Trinity's Long Walk in the 1870s. It is North America's only Burges building and the finest example of collegiate gothic revival style.
The college is in a very bad neighborhood. There are safer places to get a quality college experience.
Chapel is beautiful with stained glass windows and architecture. Buildings around quad and campus are worth a look. Nice public events held in chapel (lessons and carols,etc).
Trinity College has an old theater where they show films like The Grand Budapest Hotel and The King's Speech. I enjoy walking across the beautiful campus to get to the theater. Trinity also has many cultural events open to the public- some with fees and some with no fees.
Trinity is the quintessential small New England liberal arts college. Arranged in quadrangles, it mimics its namesake Trinity College of Cambridge University right down to the clock tower and archways. However, campus wide architecture varies from Victorian style houses to the contemporary. Originally established by Anglicans, an imposing statue of one of its first presidents, Bishop Brownell stands guard on the hill overlooking the capitol city of Hartford and environs. A beautiful chapel dominates the main quadrangle and is open to visitors. Aside from these reminders of the school's religious history, the college nowadays boasts a diverse student body. Numerous cultural and educational events are open to the public, including daily offerings in its movie theater. A café in the lower level of "Mather Hall" is also open to the public.
Surrounded yet by itself a green oasis in a town of gray. Harry Potter would be very comfortable in the Chappel or on the long walk
