Trinity College, University college at St. George Campus, Toronto, Canada

Trinity College is a residential college within the University of Toronto featuring Gothic Revival buildings and multiple structures for student housing and academic purposes. The complex sits on the St. George Campus with dedicated facilities for learning, living, and student gatherings.

Trinity College was founded in 1851 by Bishop John Strachan as an Anglican institution and remained independent for decades. Its merger with the University of Toronto in 1904 transformed it into a residential college within a larger academic federation.

Students wear academic gowns, as in the Harry Potter films, to key college events: the student parliament, matriculation and the Wednesday High Table dinner. The Trinity College Meeting, the student parliament, is the only one in North America run by direct democracy; it has just three officers, and any student in gown may vote. Its debating society is Canada's oldest university debating union.

Trinity College stands on the St. George campus of the University of Toronto, near other colleges and the university library. The main entrance is reached by a short, wide stone staircase up to tall wooden doors; the surrounding buildings, including the chapel and the Munk School, are grouped closely together. Visitors should note that many college spaces are reserved for students and staff.

Trinity's student government, the Trinity College Meeting, is described as the only student parliament in North America run by direct democracy. It has just three officers — a chair, secretary and treasurer — and any student wearing academic gown may attend and vote.
