What QB Scholars about housing...

"There is no lack of social life in most dorms, though, I did find it challenging to study in my freshman dorm during weekends. Fortunately, the library offers a 24-hour zone and there are many other spaces to study including cafes and department libraries."
- Cristina Wheeler-Castillo, Neuroscience major, Class of 2008

"First year housing might not be what you expect but the housing lottery is fair and you will get better housing for subsequent years.”
- Kingsley Vincent, Electrical Engineering major, Class of 2008

What QB Scholars about their favorite things to do on weekends...

"Weekends on campus usually include school performances and I especially enjoy Trinity’s many a capella groups and our Samba ensemble. The school’s cinema is also good for quality, non-mainstream movies. Off campus, Hartford offers entertainment on weekends and a great variety of restaurants (students have free bus passes, but it helps to have a car or make friends with people who do)."
- Cristina Wheeler-Castillo, Neuroscience major, Class of 2008

"Trinity is really big on Greek life . . . Because of this, many students have begun to create alternate weekend opportunities for those not really interested by Greek life."
- Lynda Ikejimba, Physics and Mechanical Engineering double major, Class of 2009
