And, there are theme-oriented housing units devoted to community service, wellness, art, music, the sciences and other special interests that vary from year to year. Accommodations include everything from single rooms to suites where students have from one to several roommates. Many housing units have furnished lounge and study areas, storage and laundry facilities. Some have full kitchens where students prepare their own meals. After the first year students select the living arrangement they prefer through a priority lottery system.

While many residence halls sponsor intramural teams and host social events, the main goal of Trinity's residential life program is to provide an environment where students come to balance and integrate academic learning with personal and social development. Lauren Rosenberg has experienced this kind of integration of important elements of life at Trinity. But, Lauren's guidance went beyond the strictly academic. It definitely crossed the boundaries between academics and personal friendship, and I really liked that.
