Save on tuition at Lakeland College

B>International students save on tuition at Lakeland College

With rising costs of education, Lakeland College is the best value yet.

When a student from outside Canada enrols in a Lakeland College program, the tuition rate differential is considerably less than tuition rates charged at other institutions -- a great savings considering that most colleges and universities around the world charge a minimum of 150% over the rate for national residents.

How does this add up for international students? Here’s a comparison.
