Catharine Parr Traill College

Congratulations to the participants and winners of the 2022 3MT Competition!

 

Come and visit Catharine Parr Traill College!

Open: Monday to Friday - 8am to 10pm

For over 50 years, Traill has offered Trent University students a welcoming space to study, or relax, in the university college tradition. Named after nineteenth-century author and naturalist Catharine Parr Traill, the College has forged a unique identity as Trent’s downtown location. Its alumni are fiercely loyal and include prominent politicians, screenwriters, professors, teachers, scientists and a Nobel prize laureate. It is a place for students of all ages and interests.

Traill Wow!

When visiting Traill, one thing comes to mind: “wow!” Traill is a student oasis situated five minutes away from the centre of Peterborough. It feels like a small university within the larger university and that’s the point. Traill students may lose themselves in their books, but they will never be lost in the crowd! Traill has great spaces, including modern residences, lecture halls and study nooks, a vibrant restaurant, and a traditional college library. However, most importantly, Traill has great people who look out for each other, learn together, and have a lot of fun at the same time.

Interested in connecting with Traill as student or community member? Contact traill@trentu.ca for more information.
