Trinity College (Connecticut) Reviews

Whether you're local or thinking about taking an upper-admin position at the college and relocating to Hartford from elsewhere, take into consideration whether it would be upsetting to you or your career if you find that you're really unhappy Trinity after a year and want to leave. College leadership has undergone major changes and currently doesn't provide strong direction, and the college is facing serious financial issues, so resources are slim, salaries are frozen, and staffing has been reduced. Overall, there's a strong sense of instability and uncertainty.

Some would argue that the location is a con. I would argue the opposite. Trinity is located in Hartford, Conn., a small city that has made great strides in recent years and is about five years away from being a city that people will want to live in, rather than have to. For many, that change has already happened, mostly due to the thriving restaurant scene and noteworthy arts and cultural offerings of the city. Hartford is basically a baby Brooklyn, but with better access to open fields, hiking trails, etc. It's also an easy drive to both Boston and New York.
