wrong direction

It seems like Trinity is headed in the wrong direction. It keeps dropping on the US News rankings and now is tied with Conn College at #37. The momentum is in the wrong direction?

Trinity has the best looking campus of any college, but Hartford just pulls it down year after year and there is nothing that can be done about it. Things will only get worse. A small liberal arts college in a slum is doomed.

Makes sense LACluster. Ranking #37 on US News Trinity is a B+ school. Most of the kids from my school who go there had a 3.4 or 3.5 GPA. Schools on US News at #29 like Bucknell, Holy Cross and U. Richmond are A- schools and most kids from my school who go there had a 3.8 GPA

Its because Jimmy Jones is a member of the Annapolis Group and does not believe in rankings. Trinity is not a Williams, so it impacts us more than others.
