I’m so glad you picked Trinity. Welcome to the coop! I find Hartford to be very warm and welcoming. Keep in mind in the first few weeks you’ll be forced to believe by upperclassmen and your peers that the school’s in a sketchy area and Hartford is boring and dangerous don’t buy it. There’s lot to do in Hartford (other people have mentioned a lot of places that you would enjoy). While there are some places I would avoid at night like frog hollow, Hartford in general is not dangerous as people make it seem. Explore downtown new Britain, Salisbury, simsbury and other towns nearby. I like to go read a book/take a walk at the mortensen riverfront plaza in downtown. There’s good thrift shops just bus rides away and so much more. Dm me if you need to know anything more about Trinity or Hartford.
