Trent University is a small but diverse public university in Peterborough. The size allows for a close knit community that integrates students of all cultural backgrounds. Classes are also relatively small which promotes intellectual, thought-provoking conversations which is especially good for my programme. Events and resources like workshops and community lunches are continuously provided by faculty to enhance the university and post-graduate experience and connect students. Surrounded by nature trails and a lake passing directly through the university, Trent also relives students from industrialized and congested environments.
