College Rivalry

Trent University’s college system allows for something which is unique on a university campus: college rivalry.  While each college offers a unique Trent experience, there is always room for friendly argument about which offers the best experience. Each college boasts its own college colours, unique crests, college cheers and traditions which all members of college are introduced to during Introductory Seminar Week (ISW). There are opportunities to prove that the college you are affiliated with is better than any other college through participation in intercollegiate events.

The Competition

Intercollegiate competitions like the Great Race and the ISW Cup kick off the year long battle for best college at Trent University. College rivalry continues throughout your entire Trent career—from playful name calling amongst students from different colleges, to battling for the bragging right of "best college" by competing in and winning  intercollegiate events.

Be sure to watch for opportunities to participate in or be a specator at a variety of intercollegiate events, such as Trent Spells or Battle of the Bands to help prove that your college is the best! You can also help your college win the coveted Grail Cup by participating in residence athletics programs and intramural sports.
