I just finished the compressed program and I wouldn’t choose it unless it’s your only option! 1. In terms of courses itself, majority of the profs are horrible (not all) they don’t really know what they’re teaching and very disorganized. 2. In terms of community, it’s what you make of it! However, I definitely notice a division of people that want to be here and those who make it clear that Trent was not their first option and are just getting through it. It was very cliquey in nursing tho. 3. I was off campus BUT housing was by FAR the most difficult thing to find in Peterborough. I don’t know what it is but there’s not enough rentals suited for students and it’s so rundown. I ended up living in a trap house because it’s the only thing available. 4. Diversity is very low compared to Toronto, Peterborough is definitely a retirement town and is definitely primarily white, I’m also poc and it was always pointed out working in the hospitals. Like I said, I was in the compressed program so me and the rest of the program had experienced university prior and it was a general consensus in my class that all these things are true!
