<p>Im gonna take econ 51d, and I was wondering if its a hassle to get to the Trent building from East campus. Should I just look for the same calss ina different building? Or is it fine?</p>

<p>It's a hassle, because the C-2 bus that runs to East, Trent, and West is on a less frequent schedule than the C-1 bus that runs only to East and West, so you can't just take the first bus that gets to the stop. If its a choice between equal classes, go for the one that's not in Trent.</p>

<p>Its like a ten minute walk from Bostock if you want</p>

<p>if you're going to be coming from east, it's a longer bus ride -- trent is central but closer to west. if you're on west, then it's a short ride (every 15 mins) or a decent walk... i'd walk it last semester.</p>

<p>Yea, Trent is known kinda as the purgatory of class buildings. They only put not very fun things (i.e. recitations) and some very random classes in it. It's about a 15 min walk from Main west through the gardens. On the upside, Grace's (what passes for a) Chinese Restaurant is in it and you can use your DukeCard.</p>

<p>I've got a language class in Trent two days a week, then the other two days a week it meets in SocSci. And yes, from West you can walk to it through the Gardens, which is nice.</p>

<p>I just hate thinking about the fact that Trent, before being used for obscure classes, storage, and ROTC, was a freshman dorm.</p>

<p>Yea, it's tragic that people had to actually live there. I heard they got free cable though, as a consolation prize for having to live in that earthly hell.</p>

<p>the sororities have storage facilities in trent, and the rooms are so small. i couldn't imagine living there (apparently one girl who went to my HS did though-- she graduated way before me, but i knew her younger brother, so i should find out about how she lived there!). but yeah, grace's in trent is good about having class there. not that i eat grace's food, but they have, in my opinion, the best fresh fruit section on campus, so i'd always have a snack of some sort there during class.</p>
