Lucky Seven: Trent U Tops Maclean's Rankings For The Seventh Year In A Row

Trent University—which has experienced record-breaking numbers as the provincial leader in increases in applications and first choice accepts—had another strong showing in the Maclean’s University Rankings issue this year.

It ranked as the No. 1 undergraduate university in Ontario for the seventh year in a row, and No. 3 in its category for all of Canada, and led the way on a number of other key indicators.
 
“This year’s rankings affirm the transformative learning experience at Trent’s Peterborough and Durham GTA campuses,” says Dr. Leo Groarke, president and vice-chancellor of Trent University. “Our jump to number three undergrad university in Canada and our position as the number one university in Ontario for the seventh year running highlights that a Trent education is widely-respected and deeply valued by our students across the country and worldwide.”

In addition to Trent’s impressive overall ranking in the undergraduate category, the University was once again ranked No. 1 in Canada for scholarships and bursaries.

Adding to Trent’s national leadership, the University was also named No. 1 in Canada for academic advising staff in addition to several more provincial No. 1 rankings in categories including: student awards, extracurricular activities, and course instructors.

In overall national rankings—these compare all 49 universities across the country—Trent also ranked as the No. 1 primarily undergraduate university in Canada for producing leaders of tomorrow.

In the 2018 report, Trent also moved up in several other categories, including: overall education, highest quality, and most innovative.

Trent Students Painted What Trent Means To Them In Parking Lot Where New Building Will Go

On Friday (April 22nd), Trent Central Student Association (TCSA) hosted a special "Paint Your Space" event at the Bata Library H Parking Lot on the Symons Campus at Trent University.

The event to paint parking spots was to celebrate the end of another school year and to say goodbye—and make their mark—on the famed parking lot H before it is removed in May for the building of the new Student Centre scheduled to open Fall 2017.

Trent student Chance Squires captured this great footage of the final painted spots that he sent to PTBOCanada. Watch the video below...
