Trinity is a small, prestigious liberal arts college offering top-notch education. Social sciences tend to be the schools feature, but they have a strong engineering and STEM programs too! There are many different areas of study for you to explore and lots of options for students. Classes are also small, and allow for great discussion. Administration and faculty are easily accessible, and professors take the time to get to know their students. While it is a smaller school, it is in Harford close to the state capitol so you are not isolated. They have great career services, and outside academics Greek life is big.
