Trent University

Trent University is a public liberal arts university in Peterborough, Ontario, with a satellite campus in Oshawa, which serves the Regional Municipality of Durham. Founded in 1964, the university is known for its Oxbridge college system, small class sizes, and 11 on-campus nature reserves.

The university's main Symons campus, named after founding president Thomas Symons, is located on the banks of the Otonabee River at the northeast corner of the City of Peterborough. The Symons campus plan and its original structures, including Champlain College, Lady Eaton College, Bata Library, the Chemistry Building, and the Faryon bridge, were designed by Canadian architect Ron Thom.

Although Trent University is a predominantly undergraduate institution, programs are also offered at the graduate and doctorate levels. In 2023, over 13,000 undergraduates and over 1,200 graduate students were enrolled at the Symons campus while Trent University Durham GTA served over 3,000 full- and part-time students at its Oshawa campus. The university is represented in Canadian Interuniversity Sports by the Trent Excalibur varsity team. Provided by Wikipedia
