Trent University is a public liberal arts university in Peterborough, Ontario, with a satellite campus in Oshawa, which serves the Regional Municipality of Durham. Trent is known for its Oxbridge college system and small class sizes.[2]

Trent was founded through the efforts of a citizens' committee interested in creating a university to serve the City of Peterborough and the surrounding counties, and was created by the Trent University Act, 1962–63.[4] The committee recruited Dean Thomas H. B. Symons of the University of Toronto[5] to serve as chair of the academic planning committee and Symons became the university's first president.[6]

The Symons campus of Trent, named after founding president Thomas Symons, is located on the banks of the Otonabee River at the northeast corner of the City of Peterborough. The Symons campus plan and its original college buildings, including Champlain College, Lady Eaton College, Bata Library and the Faryon bridge which spans the Otonabee, were designed by Canadian architect Ron Thom.

Close to 9 000 undergraduate students and nearly 700 graduate students are enrolled at the Peterborough campus while Trent University Durham GTA serves over 1 600 full- and part-time students at the campus on Thornton Road in Oshawa.
