Reviews of Trent University Durham GTA (College)

John Delanie

Full price tuition for a campus and services students have little to no access to during a pandemic where students are pressed to find jobs and support themselves. It's absolutely disgusting and the only reason people are still going is the fact that they've already spent thousands and dropping out would be a waste of all that investment. Covid has really brought out how predatory universities are and Trent is no different; it doesn't care one bit about it's students outside of bleeding them for every last cent. If you can avoid going here, by all means, do so.

This University is For Kids With a 50 Average from High School... Basically it's giving unintelligent high school kids a second chance in education

Good place to learn. The smallness lends to the dreams all students have - personal relationships with professors and quiet places to study

Rainer B

Quiet, clean, brand new. Great place to get an education, good place for local events or public lectures.

I love the smallness of the campus, lets you feel very involved with your professors and classes.

I lived in the Trent Durham residence the first year it was built. It is understandable that, due to the pandemic, some difficulties occurred but that does not excuse the complete and utter incompetence I experienced from the majority of staff while living there. Students are never informed on updates on protocols or really anything and get punished for breaking rules they didn't even know were in place. The staff is also never informed as I've experienced on numerous occasions staff being completely unable to help me with an issue because their higher ups don't inform them on anything. Furthermore, throughout the year there were numerous promises made to the students which were never kept, the building still was not completely finished after my school year was over (there were maintenance workers in the building everyday trying to fix things but only ever succeeding in setting off alarms). The cafeteria serves nothing healthy, except for a terrible chicken caesar salad, everything is deep fried. I also noticed many safety issues such as, maintenance workers leaving a disgusting mess after cutting into the ceiling or walls and students not being informed on evacuation protocols (even after I addressed the severity of this issue with the head of the housing department). Having my first year of university occur during a pandemic was disappointing as is, but the Trent Durham residence somehow made it worse. Truly, the only positive thing I have to say about this place is that it gave me the opportunity to make incredible friends but, if it wasn't for those friends, I would've moved out after the second just like half of the students who came in first semester did. Trent Durham has a lot of work to do; if I could put 0 stars, I would.

Trent University-GTA is really good alternative for those who did not make the grade to access the school of their choice, or for those looking for a second chance at University Studies. Its convenient location, and small size provides students with the opportunity to form friendships amongst its diverse student population, while having the ability to get know their professors on a one-on-one basis. Where Trent University-GTA fails is a lack of accessible bathrooms and a limited academic track that ultimately forces any upper year student to transfer elsewhere to another College or University. If one can overcome these issues, Trent University-GTA is a GOOD CHOICE.

It is my first time at this campus and I really enjoyed it. Students are more energetic and enthusiastic and the people working are very nice. The best thing was that parking is easy to find with minimal issues

Nice small town feel.
