Trine University — Attraction in Angola

I would strongly caution anyone considering this university to think twice. My experience with this institution has been nothing but disappointing and frustrating.

The advisors(Timothy strange) and DSO(Karla) , director and the intl help( lied to me saying that the DSO reached out to me when she never did) are shockingly negligent. They rarely respond to emails, even in emergency situations. Reaching out for guidance or support feels like shouting into the void. This is unacceptable, especially for students who rely on their guidance for academic and immigration matters.

It's clear that this university does not prioritize students'lives or careers.. they don't provide any kind of support when it comes to bids related queries or academic support they show little to no concern for the future of their students and I have no idea how this institution is still running

Terrible handling of SEVIS and VISA issues The DSO is supposed to be a reliable source of help and information and she's practically non-existent here and there's no professionalism

And this university feels like a scam. Once they've received your tuition fees. They seem to lose interest in the students entirely, leaving students to navigate critical issues on their own.

5.If you're dealing with a personal or academic emergency, don't expect any support from them, they seem to think their job is done once you're enrolled

This university has been one of the most disheartening and frustrating experiences of my academic journey. If you value your education, career and peace of mind, I urge you to consider other options. This institution fails its students on...

I graduated from Trine (then called Tri-State) University back in the 1990's. Seems like the school has taken many steps to improve the facilities on campus and the academic programs. For example, the school now has Post-Undergrad programs for the first time. In addition, the school now has apartment-style living in addition to the old dorm facilities.

For the reviewer who complained about the social atmosphere at Trine, people need to realize that you are attending a small school in rural northern Indiana and not Chicago/NYC/Los Angeles/Washington DC. In addition, many of the students at Trine are Engineering majors-there are generally more men than women studying in these fields.

People need to realize that Trine will never have the huge party atmosphere like USC/Ohio State/Florida State, or other big schools known for the social scene. That being said, I was Greek and we still had a good time while managing to get decent grades, graduate, and find work or make plans for grad school after earning a degree. Trine was not as prudish or strict as a religious/military-ran school, but not party central like some schools are...

Went there on a full-ride scholarship for basketball and academics many years ago! Was never so mistreated in my entire life! I was 18 being physically and verbally abused by my hot headed, hard punching 24 year old roommate in a jail-like dorm room! At night, the older students would break into my room and drag me and other underclass students down the hall in the dorm out of our beds while sound asleep! They were drunk and thought it was funny as my head hit the cement floor! This happened on a regular basis! The Coach was a real jerk and favored his two sons on the team and took pleasure in punishing me for being the only recruit from Michigan that season! The ratio of 14 men to 1 woman on campus did not bother me that much as the few girls there knocked on my door often! I never could get much studying done at all! The Fraternities on campus were very territorial and aggressive! Fights were common! The Professors were arrogant and not approachable! I could go on and on, but, obviously, there are reasons why this place and Angola, Indiana are so small! They enjoy scaring...
