Trinity International University is a great place to not only learn but to build friendships that will last a life time. The community life at Trinity is amazing because you are able to meet and interact with people that come from all sorts of background. I love being a student at Trinity and the more I get involved the more I learn and the more I enjoy my experience here.

Kristina

I love Trinity! Some of my closest friendships have formed with the girls in my dorm and I have found some great mentors in the professors. I love that I can get so connected with not only the professors and students in my major, but also all around campus. People here genuinely care about you as a person and not just as a number. I would definitely recommend Trinity!

Rebecca

I love being a student at Trinity. The friends I have made here are life-long friends, I've learned a lot about myself, it's been easy to get involved, the academics are great, the teachers really care about us, and I feel really prepared for my future.

Jenna

Like all schools it has its disadvantages or things that need to improve (especially communication between departments). Overall, however, it is a great school! The professors genuinely care about the students, and there is a strong emphasis on growth and student development that I love.

Trinity International University-Illinois FAQS

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    "Live because of, in light of, and for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Back when I was a senior in high school, I did not at all understand the ultimate significance of the Christian Gospel, that I am a depraved and condemned sinner in desperate need of grace, and that God fulfilled my desperate need by sending His Son Jesus Christ to take upon Himself the wrath of judgment that was due to me, and being resurrected that I too may live beyond death. I now understand that the Gospel is not just an important part of Christianity, but the very centerpiece of all of existence. I would tell myself that the Gospel is the purest of motivations for any decision or action, the clearest of philosophies for viewing life, and the most fulfilling of pruposes for living. None compares, and none will bring God more glory and bring you more delight in Him. Upon sinning, return to the Gospel, and find hope and repentance. Upon righteous actions, place your faith in the Gospel, for there is nothing a sinner can contribute to his own salvation, but Jesus's sacrifice is sufficient for salvation.

  5. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    The school is a priviate Christian school, and as such it strives to protect its students with student expectations. These expectations include no drinking, no smoking ect. These rules are helpful to young students who are not use to living on thier own, or making choices for themselves. The frustration was that some students found the expectations too restrictive, but the expectations also created a safer enviornment than many other college campuses. If the safety of the campus could have been provided in a way that still allowed more freedom of choice, it would have been better.
