Three-Year Residency Requirement
Being a residential campus is central to the mission of Trinity University. Therefore, full-time undergraduate students are required to live on campus for three years from the date of matriculation (the semester you enter college).
Why Three Years?
Life in our residence halls is one of the most exciting new experiences at Trinity. Along with learning how to live with others, students make many lifelong friends and share Trinity memories with roommates, suitemates, and hallmates.
Active Members
When a student chooses Trinity University, they choose to be active members of the Trinity University community.
Diverse Community
Trinity students enjoy a diverse community, where roommates and others have various viewpoints, goals and styles, preparing them for future relationships in a shrinking world, in careers and in personal relationships.
Learning Outside of the Classroom
Trinity students learn outside of the classroom—to be independent, to develop healthy relationships, to experiment with who they are—all in a safe environment.
Understanding Responsibility
Trinity students learn that they have responsibilities as members of a larger community.
Supportive Environment
Trinity students are surrounded by others dealing with similar issues, creating a supportive campus environment.
Personal Growth
Trinity students experience extreme personal growth, face challenges and foster friendships that generate memories that last a lifetime!
Resident Assistants
Resident Assistants (RAs) are carefully selected and extensively trained student leaders (sophomores, juniors or seniors) who work as paraprofessionals on the Residential Life Staff. Their primary role is to support students and to help maintain a safe and comfortable living environment while building a fun, healthy, and inclusive community.
