Why did you choose Trinity?
I fell in love with the campus on my first visit. I was also looking for a smaller school where I could create a community and continue playing softball, and I have definitely been able to do that. Being in Hartford was also a motivator because of all the amazing events and opportunities that Hartford has to offer.

What advice do you have for prospective students applying to college?
Ask students who are currently at that school about their experience, you never know what cool things you might learn!

How fast it goes! Take advantage of the time and opportunities you have while you can (study abroad, getting involved in new activities, etc).
