International Student Costs
Living Expenses
Your tuition fees cover only the cost of your classes and your health insurance. You will also need to budget for housing costs, books, personal expenses and travel to and from your home country.
Anticipated costs for one academic year (two semesters) include:
- Housing: 500-700 per month
- Meals: 250-400 per month
- Books: 700-1500 per two academic semesters
- Personal expenses: 70-90 per week
We suggest that students plan on spending about $1,000. per month on living expenses after tuition payments have been made.
Health Costs
As an international student in Canada, you are responsible for all medical expenses incurred during your stay in Fleming College and in Canada. A short stay in the hospital can mean thousands of dollars in medical bills and ruin forever your dreams of continuing with your education in Canada.
All foreign students must have adequate medical coverage during their stay in Canada. Students studying at Fleming College will be insured through ETFS Insurance. Cost of insurance will be approximately $350.00 per semester and is included in your tuition fee.
Reception Service Costs
Transportation costs from your country to Canada are your responsibility. When you arrive at the Toronto airport, you will need to arrange for transportation to either our Peterborough or Lindsay campus. We recommend that you use Century Airline Services, located at the Ground Transportation Booth. The trip to Peterborough costs approximately $95 Canadian per person; the trip to Lindsay costs approximately $124 Canadian per person. If you wish to reserve a seat ahead of time, please notify the International Office and we will be happy to make the reservation for you.
When you arrive in Peterborough or Lindsay, you may need lodging for a few days until you find suitable accommodation. We can recommend single rooms at motels in both cities that are clean, warm, safe and comfortable. Again, please ask us to made these arrangements for you before you arrive. Have a safe journey!!
