Favorite Class Taken at Trinity:  Medieval Women Writers with Sheila Fisher was one of the best classes I’ve taken because of how charismatic and dynamic Professor Fisher is.  I was reluctant to take a course that had a subject matter which seemed so specific and limiting, but I learned a great deal more from that class than I would have ever expected, and now I can talk about courtly love on demand or discuss sexuality in the Heian court.

Why I chose Trinity:  Like many others, I wanted a small, liberal arts college on the East Coast and what I found at Trinity was a place that seemed to be just as invested in academics as it was to making sure that the students were also socially satisfied.  I came on V.I.P. Days and saw the typical Trinity scene of students playing Frisbee on the main quad...reading and talking, and I got the most positive feeling from the school.  It was a much warmer environment that I found at a lot of the other places that I visited.
