    Tips for prospective students

    Trinity is a small school with a great community atmosphere. Make sure you meet with someone in your department before you make a decision. I am in Christian Ministries and Biblical Studies, which are both high end majors here. Since the school is small there are limited majors and minors.

    Great for these types of students

    People from small town or suburbs. People who like the more community feel rather than a huge anonymous feeling campus. People will know who you are even if they haven't met you. The classes are small and you have to be able to participate. There's not enough people to be completely anonymous.

    tiu is a place that encourages the development of each student holistically. the university's aim is to create a community in which every student can maximize their impact in the world.

    Tips for prospective students

    trinity is a place for students looking to develop academically, spiritually, and as a real person. the school requires a lot to be successful, so come prepared!

    Academic Rigor

    the majority of the professors are excellent and extremely well qualified. the university has a great student to faculty ratio which allows for a lot of helpful one-on-one interaction with the professors; of course, there are a few rotten apples but they are avoidable! the classes demand a lot but are well worth it if you truly apply yourself.

    Dorm Life

    the housing options are, well, average. all of the residence halls are set up in an apartment style setting--something most students seem to enjoy. some of the buildings are getting a bit old. overall, the students find a way to maintain a healthy amount of time studying and having fun in the dorms.

    Food and Dining

    again, the food is average. the selection is usually pretty good and nothing is ever disgusting. the dining services offers two different places for obtaining food which is rather convenient and good for late night studying.

    What to do for fun

    one of the perks of going to this school is its proximity to chicago--just hop on the train and you're heading downtown. some of the weekends can get pretty dry but there usually is something going on.

    Bang for the buck

    this is a small liberal arts college that (i believe) is heading in the right direction. the school has its ups and downs but i believe that it has provided me an excellent place to grow. i'd still pursue this school if i could do it all over again.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    twice a year one of the girls dorms hosts a coffee house style event that allows for students to express their various musical talents for the rest of the campus--one of my favorite events here.

    Great for these types of students

    anyone looking to deepen their academic life, spiritual life, and athletic career.

    Clubs and Activities

    we've got just about everything you could want.

    Campus Safety

    i feel very safe here.

    Am learning a lot

    I am a student in the Christian Ministries department and am definitely learning a lot. The classes and professors challenge my thinking and keep me wanting to learn more.

    Am enjoying being here

    I have many good friends here and appreciate the intentional community and all the opportunities to get involved, get connected, and serve.

    Great for these types of students

    People wanting a more personal college experience in a smaller environment would enjoy this school. Because of smaller class sizes, the professors are very accessible and personable, and almost always take a personal interest in their students.

    Trinity International University is a dynamic school with top grade professors coupled with great heart warming community.

    Tips for prospective students

    I want to encourage prospective students to come ready to work and have a lot of fun as well as gain valuable knowledge from it.

    Academic Rigor

    Attending Trinity and getting good grades is tough, the teachers will challenge you and take you to another level. I would give the acedimic level four stars because there is a lot that is demanded of you.

    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is safe and fun. i would reccomend it to anyone who is considering trinity.

    Food and Dining

    Food could use a little work but for the most part, it is very good.

    Bang for the buck

    Trinity international is pretty expensive but you get top quality teaching for the price.

    Great for these types of students

    Trinity is great for students who like to meet new people and loves a calm atmosphere and friendly people.

    Clubs and Activities

    Here at trinity there are many clubs and activities to get into yet it all makes up one big community. We have football, Student government, Multicultural movements with others.

    Campus Safety

    There is 24 hour security that goes around the clock along with the banokburn police department to make sure that the students are taken care of and safe.
