Trinity College
The University of Trinity College, referred to locally as Trinity College, Toronto or Trin, is the smallest federated college of the University of Toronto, with 1820 undergraduate students. Trinity also houses an Anglican divinity school with 138 students, and is a constituent member of the Toronto School of Theology.[5]
Trinity maintains very high academic standards for undergraduates. Between 2005 and 2009, Ontario students entering Trinity had an academic average of 92 per cent,[6] and of the seven colleges at the University of Toronto, Trinity has the highest proportion of students who graduate with "Distinction" or with "High Distinction".[7] Moreover, the majority of Trinity alumni go on to pursue professional or graduate degrees,[7] and the college has produced 35 Rhodes Scholars since its inception.[8] The college maintains Oxbridge-style traditions which reflect its English roots, including the mandatory wearing of gowns at dinner, a chapel choir comprised partially of paid choral scholars,[9] and the wearing of college scarves and jackets. The Anglican seminary is active in college life, with worship services held twelve times weekly in the chapel,[10] but the student body is nonetheless diverse, with nearly 25% of undergraduates coming from 60 countries outside Canada.
