In the Words of Our Students

Many students enrol at Trent after hearing about us from a friend or colleague, or through social networks and online communities. Read what our students have to say about their experiences with online learning.

“Every week, at a set time, the lecture would drop and I could spend all day or all week working on lecture slides and course material. I enjoyed this approach because it was flexible and gave me a routine especially with my busy work schedule. The professor was very accommodating with answering emails. She also set up a digital platform for students to engage in discussions or answer questions, which was just like a classroom discussion and just as lively.”

Brooke Dakers, English Literature student

“I have been a professional cyclist for six years and for the last four years I have studied online at Trent. Online courses offer me the flexibility to attend racing events and  training camps allowing me to pursue my athletic goals well continuing my academic studies .”

Travis Samuel, Business and Economics double major, professional road cyclist and member of Toronto Hustle cycling team who hold the Guinness World Record for the furthest distance cycled on an indoor bicycle.

“The learning schedule was super flexible with weekly lessons and readings that I could do independently. It was ideal because it allowed me to work full-time during the summer. In an online course, I was still able to connect with peers through chat rooms and discussion boards. I highly recommend students take an online course. It is flexible, convenient, and a great way to get ahead of your degree.”

Amy Graves, English Language & Literature student
