Why did you choose Trent University?

I chose Trent University because it has a great educational system that allows me to expand not only my knowledge but also my future job opportunities. I love Trent because their courses go beyond lectures where a professor explains topics, instead they are interactive classes where I have the option to practice and apply the knowledge learned in real life examples. For example, in the Media Studies program, we learn in class the different editing and lighting techniques, and then we have workshop sessions where we practice the techniques and then edit the photos in the university's editing room. With this, Trent prepares me for the job market by teaching me skills that will set me apart from the rest when looking for a job.

Trent’s choice regarding variety of subjects and the holistic approach towards education were my primary reasons to join Trent.

-Trent provides students independence to select from multiple subjects in their field while also providing opportunities for studying any other subjects which interest them.

-They have a wide selection of specialisations for students to select from and also opportunities for gaining practical knowledge like doing a placement course.

-Trent provides a lot of scholarships and bursaries through out the year for academic excellence and also based on need.

-The clubs and groups in the university gives everyone the opportunity to have fun and be a part of a community

Myriad of reasons! I didn’t want to restrict myself to one major or field of study, at Trent there’s so much flexibility in choosing your academic program and other subjects in varying capacity! Trent Symons Campus is in Peterborough which is totally a student city with lots to do! The campus is on the Otonabee River and it makes for great views! Lastly, the student support at Trent is unmatched!

I chose Trent University because of the incredible major combinations they offer, which perfectly align with my interests. The small class sizes really stood out to me, as I believe they foster a more personalized learning experience. Plus, the overall environment is so welcoming and supportive, making it feel like a great place to grow both academically and personally. I just knew it was the right fit for me!
