[edit] Trent at Durham
Trent has a fulltime program at UOIT/Durham college. I go there, and I think it should have a mention on this page. Anyway, I'm going to get some numbers on it and stick it in a secition, while trent in oshawa is nominally part of JBC, it has an independent existence. And I agree it looks like it was written by the PR department. Trent is a great university, but we should look like an encyclopedia not an advertisement--Notenderwiggin 05:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
I've cleaned up this article and organized it into sections, so I'm removing the cleanup notice. Anyone who has more knowledge about the colleges of the university, or Trent University in general, could expand each individual college's section with further information.

[edit] Founded by Bata?
Could someone please check the claim in the Bata Shoes article, that the university was founded by Bata? -- Sandius 20:20, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
The library at Trent is named after Thomas J. Bata of the Bata shoe company due to his contributions to the university. However the university itself was not founded by Mr. Bata. History of Trent University Building Names -- Draven5

this article reads like it was written by the PR departement of trent.
"Trent has long been characterized by political debate: the staff, students and faculty actively engage in ultra-political conversations and the education in every discipline is rooted within a new-age educational philosophy. At Trent, professors are as interested in writing award-winning research articles as they are in listening and hearing comments from students, and in the overall discussions which challenge the status quo."
Is that really nessecary?
[edit] External link removed
Why was the link to: http://trentuclasses.wikispaces.com/ removed? (I know it used to be to http://seanja.wikispaces.com/, but it is the same site under a different name)
I am just curious, as I cannot find where it was removed.

- I removed it per WP:EL. Wikipedia is not a link farm. See also External link spamming. Ardenn 03:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- I have no idea why people keep on removing the lj link, its a good resource for people who are interested in Trent - especially new students who want to know what the university like 72.60.38.171 21:17, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
There is no varsity chess team at Trent. Sarah Urquhart wrote that as a joke. What a douche.
[edit] Correct Spelling
Is Catharine or Catherine Parr correct? Does anyone know for sure? Both versions exist on the article. Flibirigit 01:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
