Trinity College

I am leaving Trinity because:

1. Greek life can be fun for the first two or three weeks of freshman year, but after a while, it just gets boring and monotonous. Contrary to what they tell you on pre-frosh tours, THERE ARE NO OTHER VIABLE, SOCIAL ALTERNATIVES. People rant about "The Mill," and other similar establishments for kids trying to avoid the Greek scene, but in reality, a lot of those kids just sit around complaining about how boring Greek life is and how "glad" they are that they no longer take part in it. Then, you'll probably see them at Psi U or AD the next night.

2. Hartford is TERRIBLE. Actually terrible. Don't think you're close enough to Manhattan or Boston to actually be able to go there frequently (unless you have a car, or live there).

3. It's an extension of boarding school, essentially. So unless you're looking to "relive your glory days" at Loomis Chaffee or Hotchkiss or something, steer clear of "da Trin."

4. There are a lot of idiots. People always say there are two types of people that go to Trin:

smart kids who didn't get in ANYWHERE ELSE, and rich morons whose parents wanted them to go to school in a castle.

And it's absolutely, 100% true.

5. It's the most boring place on the planet. Campus is a bubble. The food is unchanging. New England weather is DISMAL. The only positive is that Winter Break is a month long.
