I am currently a student at Trinity and I am not sure where nescaccurrent currently attend school, but he is not correct. Trinity is one of the founding members of Questbridge and has a strong network with Chicago Posse AND New York Posse. We embrace more diversity and are determined to have a more diverse student body. As a Questbridge Scholar, I am happy to have Questbridge, Posse, PRIDE, international student, and traditional student friends. I don’t think attending Conn College or Wesleyan University would mean that you would interact with more different people; honestly, both schools have a negative financial aid policy towards international students and have a small amount of international students. Trinity provides 100 demonstrated need financial aid to all international students which has helped bring more socioeconomically diverse international students and bought our international student percentage from 3-4% a year to now 11% per class year.
In addition, our new President, an accomplished African American neuroscientist who was a Dean at Tufts University, is building new “mentoring networks,” which will assign groups of freshman students in each dorm hall with upperclassmen and faculty mentors. This is intended to bridge more racial and social interaction and provide all students with a network during their transition to college.
