@texastexas20, your personal feeling about which environment is the better fit should probably trump everything I’m about to say, but here are a few data points worth considering:

SAT ranges:
…CR…M
SU 520-630 530-630
TU 580-680 590-680

Endowment:
SU $265 million
TU $1.18 billion

Faculty-to-student ratio:
SU 12-to-1
TU 9-to-1

5 year graduation rate:
SU 73%
TU 80%

Median earnings of students who received federal aid 10 years after entering college (College Scorecard site):
SU $47,200
TU $53,200

I think you see where I’m going with this; leaving fit and strength in particular areas of interest out of the equation (both important!), Trinity is the stronger school on a range of metrics.
