Favorite Trinity Experience: One of my favorite Trinity traditions is Senior Week, which is a weeklong celebration leading up to graduation.  There are fun activities the whole week, like the Casino Party, Senior Tower Climb (when seniors get to sign a brick on the inside of the tower) and the Last Great Reception with champagne toasts.  It is a wonderful way to wrap up your time as a Trinity student and celebrate with friends, faculty and staff.

One Thing I Love About San Antonio: I love driving a bit north of the city into the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

Best College Search Advice: Visit as many schools as you can and try to sit in on classes. Seeing the type of students in the classrooms, as well as the student and faculty interaction was the most insightful part of my campus visits.
