It is an enchanting place to study and live. The cultural studies program was also a strong selling point. I\u2019d <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lied to fine arts programs at several other schools but chose Trent because I could take a mix of theory-heavy courses and practical workshops, which appealed to me greatly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe some of your best experiences so far.<\/strong><br \/>I was on campus during O-Week this year. With all the fall colours, the smell of campfires and the warm air, I felt my first week at Trent was like a fairy tale. Having hands-on workshop classes and seminars also made a difference for me this year; I\u2019ve been able to produce a portfolio of work while getting academic credit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you involved in extracurricular activities?<\/strong><br \/>I work for Arthur, Trent\u2019s independent student press, and am involved in several other extracurriculars. Trent has a bustling levy group scene (the groups\u2014such as the student paper, a film society and an outdoors club\u2014are funded by student fees), and I\u2019ve sat on many of their boards and steering committees. I\u2019ve found it to be one of the best ways to meet people in my first year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of your professors?<\/strong><br \/>My program is known for the diligence and passion of its teaching staff, but professors across all departments at Trent have left a good impression on me. Most of my profs know me by name, and I\u2019ve found them exceedingly supportive and accommodating, especially given the strangeness of the past two school years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of the school\u2019s administration?<\/strong><br \/>There\u2019s a joke among students that in your four years at Trent you\u2019ll switch your major five times and still somehow end up in the one you started with. All to say, reconfiguring schedules is made easy by the myTrent online system and the academic advising team. The rare administrative problem I\u2019ve encountered has been resolved with a few emails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is off-campus life like in Peterborough?<\/strong><br \/>Peterborough is a smallish town, but there\u2019s a lot on offer for students, because Trent plays a big role in the community. Many restaurants and stores offer student discounts. Peterborough is pedestrian- and bike-friendly, and anything that\u2019s not close enough to walk or bike to can be easily reached by bus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PROFILE<\/strong>: <strong>Trent University | Peterborough, Ont. | Founded 1964<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Best place to live:<\/strong> East Bank is quiet and residential, provided you don\u2019t mind the commute.
