What students say about Trent University
Likes
- As a Political Science major, I still had to take classes in chemistry, calculus, and biology, as well as classes in the humanities, sociology, and history.
- Yes, it does, but I just started, so I dont have a job yet. However, the minimum wage is $14 an hour, and international students receive preference for jobs on campus. Additionally, they have a lot of extracurricular activities and fabulous volunteering opportunities.
- The ones that are paid are highly competitive, with a lot of screening and shortlisting stages before a student receives an offer.
- I didnt apply for any scholarships or aids, so I had higher chances of acceptance from universities. However, it would help a lot if I had a scholarship or aid available to me.
- There is something for everyone, from a professional resume pad to a fun hobby for meeting friends.
- One of the best infrastructure and facilities, but the rooms are quite expensive for Indian immigrants.
- They are all incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, although not all of them are as good at teaching as they are at researching.
- The faculty is great, and the co-op component of the program helps students who want to gain work experience before graduation.

- The campus was really pretty, a river stream and a bridge that I had to cross everyday to get to my class. null
- The class material was always on powerpoint, easy to follow, with textbooks mostly being optional for most of my courses .
- Professors were really easy to approach, they always had office hours which I utilized to get good grades .
Dislikes:
- The distance, I lived a little far from campus, so had to travel 40 mins .
- The online quizzes that I had to pay to do .
- The cafeteria food, very expensive and not good in taste .
It had the course I wanted to do, and the fees were reasonable too compared to the other universities in Toronto. I got in through the IDP agency, and they helped us file the visas and admission process. It didn't take long to get the offer letter after applying

- I was interested in the rigor of the coursework, the prestige of the university, and the fact that I felt like it was an atmosphere of other students who made learning and their quirkiness a personality trait. null
If I could go back in time to when I was applying to schools, I would still choose to apply to UChicago again. They gave me an incredible opportunity with great financial support to pursue what I wanted, and the connections I made after university were invaluable-- it is part of the reason I'm working where I am today. However, I would still be cautious and not underestimate the rigor of the coursework. The classes are challenging and their expectations of when you should complete assignments and the volume of text you have to read and essays you have to write can quickly become unmanageable if you let them slip, especially while maintaining your extracurriculars. The atmosphere of the school, while generally supportive, can still make you feel like you have to compare yourself to your incredibly bright classmates, which increases the pressure of your studies. I enjoyed the experiences I had but I would be lying if I didn't say my work ethic took a dive towards burnout before graduation. High expectations coupled with a slightly competitive class group and various extracurricular responsibilities make it feel impossible to stay afloat.

My experience at Trent University was enriching and fulfilling. The campus offered a vibrant academic atmosphere, and the faculty was supportive and knowledgeable. Engaging in various extracurricular activities and research opportunities was rewarding. The emphasis on holistic development and a tight-knit community made my time there truly memorable.
I found the university offering the course and subjects that I was interested in. Another brownie point went to its beautiful campus and very helpful and kind staff.
Scholarship money, cheaper than other universities, accepting the culture and interesting courses, has good varsity teams and a nice gym. Organized faculty and helpful academic advisor for international students and also job hunting and co-ops. It's ranked the most beautiful campus in the entire province and is on the banks of a river.
Reputation and affordability of the program compared to other MBA programs in the country. The faculty is great also the co-op component of the program helps students who want to get work experience before graduation.
When I was deciding on my University choice I took a lot of factors into perspective. I have always been one to like small towns and drama-less places and Peterborough ON offered me both. Trent University is known for its beautiful environment and scenery and was very important in my decision.
The main reason I chose Trent is that they offered me a scholarship for free tuition. At the time I applied for post-secondary schools I believed I wanted to be far away from home. When it came time to choose though, this ended up being the closest school I had applied to and that was one of the reasons I chose it.
The university has a strong forensic science program and it’s the best undergraduate university in Ontario
