Students will be housed in Trumbull College, one of Yale’s twelve residential undergraduate colleges. Modelled after King’s College in Cambridge,Trumbull is located next to Yale’s Sterling Memorial Library and across from the Broadway shopping district, Trumbull has a strong claim to being the center of Yale’s campus.
Trumbull, with about four hundred twenty students, is one of the smallest and oldestof the twelve undergraduate residential colleges at Yale University. Named for Jonathan Trumbull, the last governor of the Colony of Connecticut and first governor of the State of Connecticut, and a friend and advisor to General George Washington throughout the revolutionary period, it is also one of the most picturesque. A granite fortress, it is emblematic of the Yale design, with Jacobean chimneys, gothic arches and a Norma dining hall.
Famous alumni of Trumbull College include Anderson Cooper (1989), Ron Livingston (1989), Oliver Stone, and Ian McCutheon (1978).
