A few more plugs for Trinity U. My daughter's high school has sent 2 or 3 kids to Trinity for the past several years, including the son of our head guidance counselor. They all seem very pleased with the school and received nice merit awards. From what I can tell from the Collegiatechoice video, it looks like an absolutely beautiful campus and the academics are excellent. I have had the opportunity to interview a few members of the faculty for various reasons and have come away impressed.

Unfortunately, the Princeton Review book says something about the students at Trinity being conservative. Do not immediately be turned off by that - the students I know who go there are just plain nice, clean cut kids, not some sort of holy rollers as the term "conservative" seems to mean in many minds. In fact, Arizonamom's son was pretty torn between Trinity and Pomona because he liked the kids there so much.

Definitely worth a look, especially if you are looking for a solid LAC size school for engineering, business, psychology, and physics (they have an excellent program there). But other departments are also good as well. One more point: they have one of the largest undergraduate libraries of any school in the country. And, being in San Antonio seems like a nice plus as well.

(Sorry to go on, but this is one school I wish my daughter had visited but I expect that my son will find it to his liking in a few years )
