Getting Comfortable

Whether choosing to live in residence or in a place of their own, new students are amazed at the comfort level they soon begin to feel at Trent – and the number of friends and faculty they quickly get to know.

Students discover many intellectual and social neighbourhoods within an ideal university setting. Trent is among a few select universities worldwide built on the college system of smaller units of living and learning. Every Trent student is a member of one of Trent’s six unique colleges.

A Part of the University
Each college is complete with residence rooms, dining facilities, professors' offices, small lecture halls, and seminar rooms. Students can have coffee with a prof in the dining hall, relax with friends, or play frisbee in the courtyard.

The colleges sponsor visits by scholars, writers and public figures, and organize lecture series, seminars, concerts, films, dinners, dances and more.
