Anyone who has researched post-secondary options knows there are both advantages and downsides to completing a diploma or degree off-campus. You get more flexibility, but less face time with other students; you can study when convenient, but that’s probably never as often as you’d like; you can go far without going far from home.
Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL), is one of Canada’s largest distance and online education providers, with over 400 courses, 52 programs and 10,000 students studying at a distance. As a division of Thompson Rivers University, OL offers flexible programs and access to on-campus resources, and students that complete certificate, diploma or degree programs are awarded TRU credentials.

Great blog! I’m enjoying your writing very much; nice voice, friendly, casual, helpful and clearly aimed at a wide but nicely cohesive audience, inclusive without losing punch. Nicely done!
