Trinity is a private liberal arts college in the heart of Hartford. It's the kind of place where you'll know your professors and classmates, with just over 2,200 students total. The college is embedded in an urban setting, which shapes everything from internship opportunities to the student experience—you're not isolated on a rural campus, but you're also not at a massive state school.
Tuition runs $67,420 per year, and with room and board that brings your total cost of attendance to $87,910 annually. That's steep, but Trinity has a $66 million endowment that funds financial aid, so many students pay less than the sticker price. It's worth asking about aid packages early in the process.
Trinity accepts about one in three applicants, so it's selective but not brutally so. The 83% six-year graduation rate is solid, and students who enroll tend to finish. This is a good fit if you want a rigorous liberal arts education in an urban environment, value close faculty relationships, and are looking for a school where you won't be a number.
