===Student culture===
[[File:Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem from South-West.jpg|thumb|right|The building of the [[Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem]]]]
With students comprising almost a fifth of the population, the city of Trondheim is heavily influenced by student culture. Most noticeable is [[Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem]], the city's student society. Its characteristic round, red building from 1929 sits at the head of the bridge crossing the river southwards from the city centre. As the largest university in Norway, the [[Norwegian University of Science and Technology]] (NTNU) is the host of some 36,000 students.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 January 2015 |title=NTNU blir størst |url=http://khrono.no/samfunn-struktur/2015/01/ntnu-fusjonerer-med-tre-hogskoler |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160403001513/http://khrono.no/samfunn-struktur/2015/01/ntnu-fusjonerer-med-tre-hogskoler |archive-date=3 April 2016 |access-date=2016-02-25 |website=Khrono}}</ref>

Student culture in Trondheim is characterised by a long-standing tradition of volunteer work. The student society is for example run by more than 1,200 volunteers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Studentersamfundet |url=http://www.samfundet.no/informasjon/omsamfundet.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071109182411/http://www.samfundet.no/informasjon/omsamfundet.php |archive-date=9 November 2007 |access-date=18 February 2008 |language=no}}</ref> [[NTNUI]], Norway's largest sports club, is among the other volunteer organisations that dominate student culture in Trondheim. Students in Trondheim are also behind two major Norwegian culture festivals, [[UKA (festival)|UKA]] and [[Isfit|The International Student Festival in Trondheim]] (ISFiT). NTNU lists over 200 student organisations with registered web pages on its servers alone.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NTNU Student Organisations (in Norwegian) |url=http://org.ntnu.no/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080306100437/http://org.ntnu.no/ |archive-date=6 March 2008 |access-date=18 February 2008}}</ref>

===In popular culture===
Trondheim culture is parodied on the [[Monty Python]] album ''[[Another Monty Python Record]]'' in the form of the fictitious Trondheim Hammer Dance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apologies/ Trondheim Hammer Dance |url=http://www.madmusic.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=27618 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207221428/http://www.madmusic.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=27618 |archive-date=7 December 2013 |access-date=12 October 2012 |publisher=madmusic.com}}</ref>

Trondheim is also a key location in the ''[[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun]]'' universe, as it is a critical battleground for both factions.

Trondheim was the name of a planet in the Hundred Worlds of the [[Ender's Game (novel series)|''Ender's Game'' novel series]].

Trondheim likely serves as an inspiration for the fictional city Tronjheim in [[The Inheritance Cycle]].
