Forbes.com is running a social media competition from July 11-August 4; Forbes is asking students, alumni, parents, and staff to submit why their school is the best college in the nation.

When choosing what college I was going to attend a few years ago, I tried to find a school that would feel like home - a place where I could receive a top notch education, connect with my professors, play the sport that I love, and explore the city around me. Trinity University has provided all of those things for me and more, and that is why Trinity is #MyTopCollege. Besides all of those lovely things mentioned above, Trinity goes above and beyond in all aspects and areas, even in areas that one wouldn't really think of.

Trinity is #MyTopCollege.

1. You can catch 'em all on your way to class.

2. Every Saturday morning, Trinity and the surrounding San Antonio community gather to celebrate health and wellness at the Trinity Market. This market can't be 'beet' - vendors sell everything from fruits and veggies to salsa and popsicles.

3. What other school has a dean that runs half marathons with his/her students?

4. Trinity is home to 24 stray cats (and counting) that have been neutered and are taken care of by members of the Trinity Cat Alliance.

5. Trinity is home to National Champions. 'Nuff said.

6. Trinity students and staff are consistently involved with the San Antonio community & always find ways to volunteer/give back!

7. #TigerPride is the best pride around!

8. Our campus is stunning.

9. Every finals week, Trinity brings stress dogs into the library to help students wind down and relax during their study sessions.

10. Trinity professors are dedicated to their students like no other - they go above and beyond to help their students inside and outside of the classroom.

11. Most importantly, Trinity feels like home. The friends that you make here will last a lifetime.
