Student life at Tremlett
Tremlett students in the 1920s participate in the first known guerilla knitting group.
Students at Tremlett live on campus in the school's historic cottages. There are no cars or gas-powered vehicles on the island. Transportation is handled by foot, bicycle, and horseback. There are frequent educational field trips to the mainland and a once-a-month open day for students to visit the nearest seaport town of Fearns.
Though Tremlett is located off the mainland, the college often hosts visiting scholars who come for special lectures, or to engage in research with the library's unique archival collections. The island setting is conducive to focusing on educational activities.
Students look forward to the fall apple harvests on the Tremlett estate, the annual spring wildflower celebration, which brings many visitors from the mainland, and special summer courses for academics who wish to continue their studies through the warmer months.
