<p>This is a pretty useful thread. My son will visit Trinity next week with his father, so we have some questions. When my son visited Claremont McKenna this fall, his overnight host was “a very polite pot-smoker” who offered to share his stash. The boys in the dorm very kindly took my son to see a Dodger’s game in LA, and on the bus back, apparently most of them became very drunk and there was quite a bit of peeing in bottles…Anyway, the point of this story, is that my son crossed Claremont McKenna off his list after this experience.</p>
<p>So here’s the main question: How happy would someone be at Trinity, who has no interest in a drinking/drugs party scene? From everything we’ve read, this seems to be pretty prevalent there. Trinity doesn’t offer admitted students the chance to spend the night in the dorms, so my son is afraid he won’t get a realistic look at student life there.</p>
