Student review [#86176] for Communication and Information Sciences
at Trent University

Trent has a really friendly and supportive vibe, which makes it easy to settle in and feel like part of a community. The smaller class sizes definitely help—you actually get to know your professors and classmates, which makes learning more engaging. A lot of the programs encourage you to think outside the box and connect ideas across different subjects, which I really appreciated.

The Peterborough campus is honestly beautiful, especially with the river running through it. It’s such a peaceful place to study or just hang out between classes. The Durham campus is smaller but has a more city feel if that’s what you prefer.

Like any school, it’s not perfect. Sometimes it’s hard to get into the electives you want, especially in later years, and a few buildings could use some upgrades. But overall, the support systems—like academic advising and mental health resources—are helpful and easy to access.

Trent is a great place if you’re looking for a more personal university experience where you’re not just a number. It’s helped me grow a lot, both academically and personally.
