The transition to Fleming College was so easy for me because the International Student Services team is so supportive, right from the beginning. I’ve been to a few places in Canada, but Peterborough is very beautiful and so friendly. I love it here. My curriculum is designed to get me ready for the workforce. In fact, my last semester will be an internship. I’m so glad I chose Fleming College. Reshma Suresh - Biotechnology Advanced Program ‘23
