The Symons campus of Trent is approximately 14.60 square kilometres, over half of which is a part of Trent's Nature Areas, an ecologically diverse wild-life preserve. It is divided into a series of colleges: Champlain College at Trent University, Lady Eaton, Catharine Parr Traill, Otonabee, Peter Gzowski, and Julian Blackburn. Each college has its own residence hall, dining room, and student government. The exception to this rule is Julian Blackburn, which does not house a residence, and is also used for administrative purposes. The campus plan and the original colleges were designed by the Canadian architect Ron Thom. A large portion of the main campus consists of land that was donated by GE Canada. This donation included a functioning hydroelectric power plant dating from the 1890s, and which still generates a substantial portion of the university's electricity; the power plant is being updated and a second generating plant being considered.

Current political debates on campus include the introduction of a complaint-based non-academic code of misconduct that will monitor student behaviour. This has been put in place by the administration following a 4 year wait for input and suggestion from the Presidents of the College Cabinets and Student Associations. Some students have chosen to question the process behind the policy which was heavily opposed when administration first attempted to pass it in 2003 as they believe the idea a misconduct policy is antithetical to the university's critical roots. Other students, however, are less critical of the proposed peer-judged system for regulating non-academic misconduct on Trent campus and at Trent events. The proposed NAMP committe is comprised of 24 student representatives and 5 Trent staff representatives.NAMP.

History

Trent University came about from public discussion in 1957 about the possibility of opening a post-secondary institution in the Trent Valley. In 1963, the university received a provincial charter and opened Rubidge Hall, Traill College, and Peter Robinson College in 1964. The first students were admitted in September, 1964. Year 1957 (MCMLVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1957 Gregorian calendar). ...

Catharine Parr Traill College

Named after local biologist and writer Catharine Parr Traill, this college was one of the first to be opened, in 1964. It serves as the base for the Departments of English, Cultural Studies, and Canadian Studies. The college also includes the Alan Wilson reading room as well as the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies, where the M.A. and PhD. programs are housed. The last of Trent's "downtown" colleges, Traill acts as a link between Trent University faculty, staff and students and the Peterborough community. A biologist is a scientist devoted to and producing results in biology through the study of organisms. ... A writer is anyone who creates a written work, although the word more usually designates those who write creatively or professionally, or those who have written in many different forms. ... Catharine Parr Traill (née Strickland) (January 9, 1802 - August 29, 1899) was a British author who wrote about life as a settler in Canada. ...

Traill College consists of Wallis Hall, Bradburn, Stewart, Langton and Crawford Houses, which are residential; as well as Scott House — the original location of Catharine Parr Traill College in its entirety — Kerr house, and the Principal's Lodge, all of which are not.

There has been discussion among the university's administrators of adhering to a decision made at the turn of the century to close Traill College in an effort to consolidate Trent on to the Symons campus in the north end of Peterborough. Opposition has arisen, as many Trent students, alumni, faculty and staff feel that Traill is essential as a connecting link to the downtown Peterborough core and plays a key role in some students' "Trent Experience".

It has recently been decided that Traill will not be closed, but converted into a college for graduate programs, particularly in the Arts.

Champlain College

Located on Symons Campus along the Otonabee River, this college was opened in 1967.

Founded in 1972 and named for the river that runs through the university, Otonabee College was the fifth established college at Trent.

Otonabee includes the offices for the Departments of Psychology, Anthropology, Computer Science, and Sociology.

By referendum in March, 2003, Trent students voted to create and operate a non-profit educational and cultural student facility, to be shared with the community as a whole. Chosen to house this new facility was Sadleir House: one of the original university buildings at the PR site, it holds special historical significance for both the Trent and Peterborough communities. Funded by a new student levy and organized as the P.R. Community and Student Association (PRCSA), the students' offer to purchase the property was accepted by the current non-university owners. The Trust secured a mortgage for the property and the students took possession of Sadleir House on 27 February, 2004.

The PRCSA facility at Sadleir House is completely independent from the influence of Trent University administrators.

Trent Summer Sports Camp, a sports and leadership camp affiliated with the university's athletics department, offers a full range of activities to children 4 to 16 during the summer months. The camp's director is Bruce Emmerton.

Trent University takes pride in its rowing club. Each autumn, Trent in conjunction with the Peterborough Rowing Club[1] hosts the Head of the Trent rowing regatta, a 5 kilometre head-style race along the Trent Canal and Otonabee River, finishing under the Faryon Bridge on the Trent University campus. The day-long event is open to university, club, and high school crews. Head of the Trent weekend is also homecoming at Trent University and includes a wide range of athletic and festive events.

Clubs and Groups

Trent has a variety of clubs and groups including a number of theatre groups, social interest groups, newspapers, religious groups, and academic societies. These groups include Trent Model United Nations, Anne Shirley Theatre Company, and Sustainable Trent. These groups are showcased during Introductory Seminar Week (ISW) for the benefit of new students. The University has traditionally provided extensive outlets for student voice and input. Almost all decisions at the University, whether they be academic or relating to student life, must be discussed and voted on at various levels of committee, all of which contain student representatives. However, in recent years the student voice has been scaled back or co-opted. While the University thinks most large decisions utilise numerous town-hall meetings and other opportunities for open discussion, historically these have only hapenned after extensive pressure from student groups.
