Hartford is Our Home
Trinity College isn’t located in a small town. We’re in a thriving capital city.
Though our close-knit campus is quintessentially collegiate, we’re unmistakably located in an urban environment. It’s where we work, where we intern, where we shop and eat, where we volunteer, and where we live.
Hartford is in our bones. It makes us who we are.
Our city roots run so deep that we founded an innovative Center for Urban and Global Studies to study city life around the world. So while some students travel to the megacities of China and others stay right here in Hartford, every Trinity student is made stronger and more world ready by experiencing the city.
