Student Life
Trumbull's freshmen are housed in Bingham Hall along with students from Calhoun College. Bingham, located at the corner of College and Chapel streets on the former site of the Osborne Lab, is the only building on Old Campus with rooftop access. Other features of Bingham are its tower and accompanying elevator and the laundry facilities in its basement which serve about half of Old Campus.
Trumbull is the smallest of Yale's residential colleges, both in terms of students affiliated with the college and students housed in the college.
At present, due to a lack of space within the college, nearly half of Trumbull's junior class is annexed to Swing Space. While freshmen and sophomores are guaranteed and required to live in on-campus housing, seniors have priority in selecting the remaining housing, leaving some juniors without a room in the college. The university seems to have recognized this problem, as it has assigned fewer freshmen to the college this year than in years past. The planned construction of two additional residential colleges is also expected to help reduce Trumbull's overcrowding.
