The Bell Center is the athletic center at Trinity University that's open to all students. I enjoy going to lift weights and play basketball at Trinity because it allows me to connect with my fellow students at Trinity. Since I don't live on campus, it is hard to ever really find time to hang out and talk to people at Trinity. I go to class in the morning then race off to work. After work, I enjoy going to the Bell Center and playing basketball with people. Everyone's having a good time (and the exercise doesn't hurt either.) The Bell Center has become my communication spot and connection to the spirit of Trinity: its people. Trinity students are very welcoming which is refreshing at a time in society where crimes rates are higher than graduation rates. I feared that my career at Trinity was going to be a social waste in the sense that I wasn't going to build any of the lasting friendships people talk about having from college. That sad reality is not ruled out yet, but I have a better chance of avoiding that fate if I continue socializing at the Bell Center. I know it seems odd that I'm looking to meet people at an athletic center, but it is easier to build comradery for guys through sports.
