Sharon Akhigbe

Residence Life Don, Second-year Business Administration student 

"Residence is your home away from home, you don't have to change your personality. You are always welcome here, loved, valued, and respected at Trent Durham."

Summer McConachie

First-year Child & Youth Studies student 

"My favourite part about living in residence is the close-knit community and meeting all these friends in my first year. I now have long lasting friendships and I’ve already made so many memories living here."

Sela Brown

Business Administration and Media Studies student

"Living in residence plays a big role in gaining independence and improving your skills and really learning how to put yourself out there. Transitioning into university is a big step, so living in residence puts you in that mindset of being in a community with other students. If I could give one piece of advice to students coming into residence, I would say get as involved as you can."
