Good reviews
Overall 4.7
This is a great community for people who want a smaller school feel. The dining hall isn't great, but the community makes up for it. The staff and faculty know students by name and will happily have a conversation with you. The people here genuinely care for you as a student and it feels like home.

Trinity is an amazing school and has helped me out so much. The professors actually care about you here and want to help you succeed in your future career.
Overall 4.4
I love everything about this school. The atmosphere is great, the faculty and staff are fantastic for the most part and the out of class opportunities are extensive. Trinity has a great community and atmosphere and is the perfect place to meet people because it is small. I highly recommend looking into it.
Overall 4.2
This is a great place to go if you want a personal connection with everyone on campus. I met some of the best people at Trinity, both students and staff who have helped me develop as a Christian and a person. Both the faculty and staff care about students as individuals and want to help the students at Trinity thrive.

I transferred here as a sophomore and have had no regrets. The education is intense and will put you farther in your goals. I appreciate the professors and their willingness to always work with you and educate you beyond just their field of study.
Overall 4.1
I am so grateful to have ended up here. The sense of community is intentionally and authentically built, and the school is small enough to know almost everyone without being too small. The professors are wonderful, and spend lots of time investing into students life, in or outside of the classroom. Can't imagine going to school anywhere else.

I thought this school was going to be a great fit for me...until I got involved in the clubs and activities. Not only were people rude and unwelcoming (not to mention fake), but there was literally no where to go for lunch and dinner except the cafeteria. And unless you're in a clique, you will feel awkward and uncomfortable eating there.

It's great to have Christian teachers, although most of them are just Christians and not "teachers" in the real sense. Trinity still has a long way to go. Teachers and administration are not on the same page. They are too cheap to hire good teachers and they have weird classes. It pains me to give a bad review but they need to step up their game.

The teachers are all adjuncts and assign mindless, busy work that is excessive in nature & will leave you feeling buried for days. The Adult Studies program is virtually impossible. I was a full-time student, taking 18 credit hours & working full-time & had less work than I do taking one class at a time. IT IS TRINITY, NOT HARVARD! Enough already!

The fact that is a very small school and a lot of students leave on the weekends Its a great faith community atmosphere with good field education however the cafeteria food sucks, the meal plans are designed to waste your money, and theres not much to do on the weekends. Some classes have skewed grading scales, 70% might be an F in Eng 101
