Around Town

There are so many events that happen on campus. Movie nights, talent shows, game nights, public speakers. I like to be involved in the community. Dorm life and connecting with others on my floor has been extremely fun. I also like to attend the concerts and the sporting events. The surrounding area has many things to offer as well. Being only 30 mins from the city of Chicago, taking a trip to the city is a fun option. In addition, there is a movie theater just a few miles away.

One of the unique parts of Trinity is our location. We are close to the city, which offers many different places for students to visit. There is also a leadership group on campus that sets up activities for students, both on- and off-campus. There is never not anything to do!

There are events that happen throughout the school year, which are put on by a student led group called College Union. They provide fun AND affordable opportunities to meet new people and to have a great time with your friends. Activities include but are not limited to: movies on and off campus, whirly ball, a campus-wide tag-like game, etc.

Trinity has a student group on campus called College Union that plans various events for students throughout the school year. They try to plan something for every weekend, such as Paint Wars, going to Broadway plays in Chicago, trips to MLB games, whirlyball, and formal events such as Jr./Sr. Some weeks are filled with many, many things to do, while other weeks are a bit quieter. There are lots of parks and places to go around campus and being so close to Chicago is great too!

I love to explore the area we are in and go to local coffee shops, farmers markets, and more. I also like to explore downtown Chicago and other nearby cities, like Milwaukee. Mainly for fun, I love to hang out with the community I am in! Getting to experience college with friends has been amazing and provides the opportunity for lots of fun shenanigans amidst the academic life.

Trinity has a beautiful 111 acres with space for hanging hammocks, picnicking, playing Frisbee golf, and many more things! There are several forest preserves nearby and many nice neighborhoods and shopping centers. The train to downtown Chicago is only 3 miles away with access to countless opportunities including free concerts in Millennium Park, world class museums, and delicious food!

There is always something going on around campus. Whether it is a concert performed by our talented music students or a game by our awesome student athletes. There is always something for everyone. The College Union puts on events frequently and a lot of them are downtown Chicago. Being so close to Chicago is very convenient especially for a weekend or evening adventure.

There is always something to do at Trinity. Whether it be a sporting event, or a school activity or just hanging out with your friends, life at Trinity never really gets dull.

Downtown Chicago is only 20 minutes away but always travel in groups and make sure you know what parts you shouldn't even think of going.

Going to football,soccer,basketball, volleyball events and supporting each other year around is the most fun! Also, we are pretty close to the city of Chicago so, getting groups of friends together and taking the train to the city just to walk around and to see Navy Pier or the famous bean in Millenium Park is one amazing experience!
