Themed Residence Learning Communities

Trent Housing Services offers our residence students an opportunity to enhance their residence experience by living in one of our Residence Learning Communities. On the Peterborough campus, we offer ten Living Learning Communities that are a combination of interest-based themes and affiliated with Academic Programs. In the 2021-2022 academic year, we are introducing four learning communities called Academic Clusters.

Each community brings together students with a common interest or program of study to connect their learning to experiences beyond the classroom. We focus on three learning goals to promote personal development, academic exploration and community engagement. We achieve this in the Residence Learning Communities through partnerships with academic initiatives, collaborative programming with Trent University departments and services, and experiential opportunities to engage with the Peterborough and Durham regions.
