Nunc cognosco ex parte | Now I know in part
One of Trent’s original colleges and the only college located in downtown Peterborough, Traill is a community of forward-thinking and creative “Traillblazers.”
Named after nineteenth-century author and naturalist Catharine Parr Traill, our college is a student oasis situated five minutes away from the centre of Peterborough. The College feels like a small university within the larger university and that’s the point. Here, students may lose themselves in their books, but they will never be lost in the crowd.
A downtown hub, Traill is a place where students of all years of study congregate together to create an environment where diversity and blending of ideas thrive. Traill is also home to the new Jalynn Bennett Amphitheatre, a three-season performance space offering a rich variety of arts and heritage experiences - check out what's coming up!
