Explore our Residences and Discover Your Community
At our Peterborough campus, everyone is a part of a college, regardless of whether you commute to campus or live in residence. It’s your home away from home: a place to make friends, participate in events that will inspire and motivate you, get support and academic advice, connect with faculty outside of the classroom, and a whole lot more. Learn more about each residential college at trentu.ca/colleges.
For our Durham campus students, Trent has partnered with Durham College and UOIT to provide a residence experience that offers convenience and great friendships. The residences, only a 10 minute drive or direct bus ride from the Trent Durham campus using your Transit Pass, offers safe, clean, and comfortable living accommodations. For more information, visit our Durham campus Residences and Housing website.
Learn about how you can get involved in Trent’s clubs, groups, sports, and leadership programs, and what Peterborough and Durham have to offer to help you make the most of your university years.
