Hello everyone, I was enrolled at Fleming College in Peterborough, and I strongly recommend choosing another option. The professors here are extremely strict, and some lock their doors as soon as class starts, refusing to let in students even if they are just a minute late. There is little flexibility or understanding from the faculty, which makes the learning experience frustrating. I wish someone had warned me about this before enrolling—I regret choosing this college and feel like I wasted my money. If I could do it again, I would have gone to Humber or Sheridan instead, where students are treated with more respect and consideration. If you’re looking for a supportive and accommodating learning environment, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

At the “Frost” campus in Lindsay we specialize in Natural Resources, Enviromental and Wildlife programs. We have a number of unique features at this campus, including two onsite fish hatcheries and a fleet of boats used in the delivery of some of our programming. Our main varsity team at this campus is Loggersports which is basically competetive lumberjacking.

I am proud to say that my colleagues here are skilled, knowledgeable and absolutely dedicated to student success. We are welcoming and open to people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures and gender identities and preferences. Canada is an awesome country that is world renowned for quality of education and we here at Frost are proud to strive to uphold that reputation.

However, this is Canada and winter is the real deal here, and at this school we embrace it fully. Bring your toque and your boots.
