Student Voices

Trent gave a whole new meaning to the word of diversity.  I never imagined myself among people from all corners of the world.  My experience as a Trent International Student Association (TISA) executive made me realize how all the international students here are proud of their culture and heritage.  Nirmal Patel, Kenya

I chose to attend Trent University because of its unique combinations-small, international, and affordable.  It does not get much better than that.  I have found that my experience studying abroad has shaped me as a person by broadening my perspectives.  Catherine Huckaby, USA.

Trent's natural and safe environment, academic excellence and commitment to international students have convinced me that I selected the right university one that caters to my needs. 
Tara K. Carter, Anguilla.

Alumni Voice

I wanted a real education one that disciplines my mind, taught me first how to approach problems, and then how to choose the right tools to solve them.  Trent's commitment to small group learning, its vital collegiate structure, and its personal touch between faculty and students were its core strength that gave me a real education.  They are even stronger today.  Most importantly, the passion for learning that was inspired and nurtured at Trent remains with me, and is my daily companion in defining and managing the medical, humanitarian and political challenges I face in my current position.  Trent was a good choice then and even better one today.  James Orbinski, BSc, MD, MA, MSc. President, MSF International Council, Mėdecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)/ Doctors Without Borders, Winner of the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize.
