What will be the impact on small businesses that depend on Trent students when the town college facilities close?
The capital development strategy will support a large (31%) increase in enrolment. Most 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year undergraduates, and nearly all graduate students, live in private accommodation in downtown Peterborough (approx. 3,700 students in 1999). They eat, they shop, they do laundry, they go out in the evening downtown. This will not change – except that there will be more of them (forecast – over 4,500 students total). The University’s plans would provide beds for an even smaller proportion of students than is currently the case.
