My Years With Trinity College (1T4, So Much More)

"You're from Trinity College? Oh, you must be smart..."

I've been a proud Trinity College student since my first day of frosh. I've met many wonderful friends from Trinity College who are not only intelligent, but also sweet and humble. I have also met others from Trinity from Trin who are a bit self-entitled and pretentious, but aren't we all?

Trin has a very close community, probably the closest community of all the colleges at the University of Toronto. We're an overachieving, self-indulgent bunch, but we're also a pack. You will rarely see one isolated especially on college grounds (except for me, of course). How can you identify a Trinity College student? From their Trinity sweater that has TRINITY blazon on it. We are pretty obvious. In a lecture class, we would be the student(s) asking or answering questions.

I loooove the (15) free meals for non-residents. I didn't use up all of mine in my first year, but I definitely used all of them for the remaining years. Trin has a lovely dining hall, Strachan Hall, where fries are always available during lunch and the staff are really friendly.

Trinity students who are/were residents tend to be in relationships with other Trin students. The non-res Trin people tend to be single. During frosh week, they tell you that 2/3 of Trin students end up marrying each other, but I think that statistic only applies to resident/former resident Trin students. I'm not surprised about the statistic though, because us Trinity people are a really attractive bunch (I'm not kidding). One friend (not a Trinity student) said we had the best looking guys, but I think we have the best looking students in general.

Often, it was not easy to get involved in Trinity things (I'd been rejected to be a frosh leader, to be a Trin peer tutor, for a role in a play, and for other things), but I've been blessed to join the sports teams and I am so grateful for my time at Trin. The friends I've made from Trin are pretty cool, the place is really nice, and I wouldn't have chosen another College. Met'agona stephanos!
