The College System

Trent is among a select few universities worldwide built on the “College” system, smaller units of living and learning – each with its own history, tradition and character – that form the university as a whole. Think of these Residential Colleges as intimate neighbourhoods in an active city.

Trent’s Colleges provide a range of services including residence, meals, social activities and academic advising. The College system is a unique tool enabling students to interact with staff and faculty on a personal level because it incorporates classrooms, departmental and administrative offices and residences into its community.

All of our residences are co-ed, with sections for specific preferences within them based on number of requests. Examples of these sections are all female, all male, all upper year, alcohol free, quiet section, etc. You may also be interested in one of our Living/Learning Communities.  We do our best to accommodate students to these sections based on the preferences listed on their application. Unfortunately we are unable to guarantee that all requests will be granted.

On this site we have tried to provide you with information to assist in your residence preference ranking. We hope you enjoy exploring our unique Residential Colleges!
