It was funded by Trent Alumni to raise awareness about the history and future of Trent.

You can find DVD copies of the entire documentary in the TCSA office.

I posted this clip online because I digitized the original for the TCSA.

Every great university has its infamous colleges and hang-outs. Trent's is PR and in the long run its reputation will probably outlive Trent itself. Losing PR was tragic, but pretty predictable given that they were trying to close it for about 25 years.

And yes to answer the Q! Whose University Is it?

ITS MY UNIVERSITY!

and yours!=D

[MaaNey]

Hope for new developments around Main Campus like Gzwoski And DNA building!

I get so Pissed when I have to go between classes from Bata to DNA let alone if I made to go from Bata to Trail! Hahahahaha..Ooo..Id Kill!=

[MaaNey]

Yeah I saw this was uploaded in 2007..so God know when it was made..cause Bonny looked Young!Hahaha

PR got shut as residence around the time I had started and so what, cause it got privatized and people still live there but Im sure they pay less than it cost as Residence!

And now Trail is closing for sure. So no point in any one arguing since its all said and done now.

[MaaNey]

Also I heard they will be making new private Residences Right near Main Campus. So more places to live off campus but walking distance from campus. That is also a Business plan and I think its Great. I think the area around Main campus should develop more! More restaurants, Coffee places, Maybe a bowling Alley to hang, A pool hall, Shops etc!

So that the Gap Between the "So called downtown" and Main Campus diminishes!

[MaaNey]

I dont think that Trail has a purpose! Its better to have everything on the Main Campus. Thank God I never had a class at Trail, Id be annoyed.

People say removing Trail removes connection from Downtown! Helloooo What Downtown?HAHAHAHAHAHA And How far is that from Main Campus anyways? Pleaseee..5 mins by car and 20 mins by bus! What Jokes!

[newglory]

I dont get it.

[wovokanarchy]

Thank god I was rusticated from Trent. I now have a Masters and 1 book published. Although I still carry the stigma ot Trent of consuming far to much alcohol for a human being.

Boo fucking hoo. This film is beyond biased. The people who took over Patterson's office were ill-prepared and created unsanitary conditions by shitting in the corner, which then forced the tactical team to take action. At law, a judge found that the Trent University Act 1964 gave power to the board to make financial and strategic decisions not the senate - Traill was a MONEY PIT and the 'alternate' plan presented was flagrantly unreasonable. This is not a documentary. It is leftist propaganda.
