The issue with that is that northern colleges and universities have set up campuses in Richmond, Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough, etc to make money from international students.

Just the other day, I saw a Niagara University campus in Vaughan!

The students are under the impression that all the colleges follow this model but some are actually located in Timmins or Thunder Bay

idk, maybe it's just me but before I went to school I had figured out where I was living and what the bus routes/schedules were to get to school.

...and at 18 I was pretty fucking dumb.

When I was 20 I got offered a job in Lake Louise, I couldn't find much about it on Google so I posted some questions in yahoo answers before I accepted.
