Student Life

For Trinity students, an active life outside of the classroom is an integral part of the college experience. Trinity students explore the varied cultural, historical, and community events that Washington, D.C., offers. You can research your family tree at the National Archives, attend a play or hear a symphony at The Kennedy Center, see heads of state or serve as a Smithsonian volunteer.

A wide range of on-campus activities take place every day that involve all members of the Trinity community, including athletic events, community service opportunities, student clubs and Trinity Traditions.

Trinity believes that health and fitness are an important part of an education and that recreation and sports promote self-confidence, teamwork and healthy lifestyles. Trinity is a member of NCAA Division III and Trinity women compete at the varsity level in basketball, softball, soccer, tennis and volleyball. Every student has a free membership to the Trinity Center for Women and Girls in Sports, which includes a fitness center, pool and tennis courts.
