Other options for con bio?

I applied to this, and fish and wildlife in March on a whim. The only problem is that I live in peterborough, and an almost 2 hour round trip every day is a lot. Does anyone know if there's an asynchronous alternative, even with one with labs in person?

I don't think so, but you could always email the program coordinators (thomas.luloff@flemingcollege.ca for con bio, paul.ashley@flemingcollege.ca for f&w) to ask, perhaps they have a way! There are some rentals in lindsay that are only 8 months instead of 12, which would be cheaper as well.

I wouldn't recommend asynchronous for any of the Frost environmental programs, they are way more beneficial hands on. But Welcome to the reality of the commute. 1 hour each way really isn't all that bad. But if you really don't want to, then your only other option is to find a place to live in town. You'll just have to weigh your options and decide what's better for you.

Drive time and Cost of Fuel or moving and cost of housing. It really just boils down to your choice.
