On the outskirts of San Antonio, Trinity is a small liberal arts college with easy access to the resources of a large city. They have a diverse curriculum with strong science programs and research opportunities. Administration communicates steadily with students, and you’d have small class sizes and attentive, caring professors. Study abroad is common, and intramural sports and Greek life are popular. Students are friendly and open-minded, and as a bonus, the dorms and facilities are recognized as amazing. Their financial aid is strong.
