Brock University in St. Catherine's has a fee of $14790 .Others may Trent university. But if you want cheaper than this then the best option for you is to get into a college its almost half fee of the university.

ammm .. let's see do you really have to .. want to? , you can if you want to but part time, but don't expect to be working and studying at the same time , it would spoil your chances of getting a work permit for full time after graduating . I think memorial university , university of prince edward ISland are very affordable one's. I have applied to Holland College my self .

For the first six months you can only work part time on-campus (i.e. at the university). After six months you can apply for a off-campus work permit.

Yes Obeid is right..if you want cheap then Colleges are best..there is no huge difference between colleges and Uni..try douglas college in BC..besides colleges are more career oriented and will streamline you to a job and one particular career but unis have a very broad scope and you can branch out in any field you want...

But the job opportunities in colleges are very limited..you cannot work off-campus for the first 6 months...if you want a job for the first 6 months then unis are better but again they are more expensive..so you go to weigh them both to reach a decision..

Affordable colleges , If you want to go to Toronto then the best options for you are Seneca and Humber college. Both are affiliated with respected universities and are affordable as well..
Cheers !

If u want to attend more affordable colleges or universities, then stop looking at only Ontario and BC colleges/ unis, these places are expensive and costly in terms of fees and also living cost! so silly to just consider only those schools. U should consider places like Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. U can consider U of Regina and Uni of Manitoba, way much cheaper than those in Ont and BC and living cost is way cheaper as well!

@ stanone what is your budget, in other words how much can you afford or willing to spend on a University education?
