Trent University Student Housing

Not sure about your first room choice being the perfect fit? Our new Room Swap option provides a simple way to exchange rooms with another student.
From July 8 to July 23, students can log in to the Student Housing Portal to participate in the Room Swap process. Within the portal, you can post your current room and browse available listings based on your preferred room type. 
If you find a suitable match, you can send a swap request directly through the system. Once both students approve the request, the swap will be processed and each student will be reassigned to their new space. Students are allotted up to 3 room swaps during this process.  
For more information, don’t hesitate to send us a DM!
