my suggestion... STAY AWAY FROM St. Lawrence College... Other then that... best of luck. no... but really. The best thing to do is to look around at all 13 or so colleges in Ontario. See what is close, cheep and what you are looking for in an education. Make sure it's something you wanna do as well or like me, you end up paying outta your own pocket for something you are not really satisfied with. Here are a list of all the colleges in Ontario http://www.ontariocolleges.ca/portal/page?_pageid=34,38184&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

I curently attend Durham, Im not sure on how their paramedic program is, but Ive had a great time in college. Not to mention the concert we had at the beginning of the year and all the fun things we do...gaming competitions, movies on the lawn (when there is lawn)...O if ure wondering...the concert had, Rufio, Remember May, Jully Black and leading it was Yellowcard. (I liked it best because I got backstage and got to meet em smile )

I'm in grade 12. I just applied for Durham, Fanshawe, and Loyalist for Police Foundations, and Law and Security Management. I've heard really good things about these schools. ^_^ Just a suggestion

[colour=blue]I have a 3 year Business Admin diploma from Sheridan College. I would only recommend Business Admin if you have an interest in spending time in sales or some other retail related business setting.
I know it's really hard to think in terms of what you want to work at when you're sitting at the other end of the journey but try to be practical and remember that you will only get out of your college experience what you're willing to put into it.
Have fun and work hard...it will pay off with a bigger pay cheque in the end! Best of luck to you!

my only advice: figure out what you want to do before post secondary, rather than wasting a lot of time and money

Nipissing (Where I am) is probably one of the most popular universities for attending the teacher's program.

Definitely 'scout' around prospective colleges you plan on applying to. Better yet, go to the college and get a 'feel' for it (that is, if it's close by your area). Do some research on them. Get feedback, statistics from the college program. Sounds like a lot of work, but it does help. It helped me when I was picking where to go.
And definitely know what you plan to do with your life. I actually had a general idea of what I wanted to do in elementary school, and evolved into something more specific in high school, which made me ready and gearing in, during and right past college.
My brother, on the other hand, didn't. When I graduated from college, my brother was still in University racking alot of debt and still figuring out what he wanted do. Funny (okay, maybe I shouldn't say that, but as I look back now), he jumped from sciences, history, language arts, etc. Eventually he settled in and found his place, but it was a long and very expensive journey.
Good luck and all the best to you and your life's journey.

IMHO, the best thing you can do is take a year off. Get a full-time job, save some money, and take the time to decide what you really want. Otherwise, you can waste a lot of time and money on a course you decide isn't right for you, and what if you change your mind altogether?
I'm glad I didn't jump into college fresh out of high school. I'm 20 now, and excited about going into college in September. But I think if I'd pushed the matter, I would have been miserable.
Don't do it because you feel you're supposed to, do it because you're excited to do it for yourself.
