The Trinity TriBlog

The Trinity Tripod First-Year Guide, originally published in Fall 2006, is a helpful guide to the Trinity community for First-Year students. The Guide focuses on the main areas of the college and Trinity experience: Academics, Social and City. So after you’ve settled into your dorm room, sit down and read some articles – or the whole thing. Find out what’s different in the college classroom, where the best campus hangouts are, and what Hartford has to offer.
