Memorial University of Newfoundland Accommodation: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 16 Reviews

On-campus residence costs approximately 5000 CAD per semester and offers convenient access to facilities, with underground tunnels connecting to classes. However, on-campus housing is considered expensive, leading around 90% of students to live off-campus where rent ranges from 500 to 700 CAD for shared accommodations. Off-campus rental options, especially near the university, average around 475 to 700 CAD.

Meal plans are mandatory for on-campus residents, but food quality is reportedly lacking, with limited halal options available. The primary mode of transportation is Metrobus, as taxis are costly. Overall, off-campus accommodations are more affordable, though finding housing can be challenging due to a housing crisis.

  • I was living off campus as it was cheaper as compared to the university accommodations. Here most people use Facebook marketplace to find accommodation or furniture basically all other things to buy/sell.
  • My monthly rent was $600 including the utilities for the first year. Then I got another good house which was $500 excluding the utilities but the room is nice with my separate washroom so I moved into that house. Nowadays, finding accommodation is really difficult because of the housing crisis happening in Canada.
  • The time I came, there were a lot of houses available and anyone could’ve easily got the house within one week, but now the situation is different. The house I am living in and my previous house as well is just five minutes walk to the university. This is the common area where all the students stay, it is the right opposite to the university on Elizabeth Avenue.

Accommodation is costly even in room sharing, around 475 cad. Food 250 CAD per month, transport 100 CAD per month, communication 50 CAD, books and stationary 200 CAD.

Memorial University has a large range of programs and less tuition fee, a higher success rate and is situated in the safest province. The University campus is huge and different faculties are available. It is all culture inclusive University and really secure. Everyone is helpful but studying is a little bit hard.

I opted off-campus accomodations as campus residence was very expensive. The off-campus housing rates are also sky rocketing now. It is hard to find an afforable and liveable place around the university.

English language proficiency test results, 12th marksheet is required. Done go for consultants. Do your own research of what programs you want. If you ndont have your 12th marksheet ready, apply with your 11th marksheet and they may give you a provisional acceptance. Present 12th marksheet to get the final acceptance letter. Their acceptance process is quite slow.

University provided accommodation has various options with sharing and non sharing rooms but they are bit expensive. Other option is to just get a room on rent outside of the campus.

Great Infrastructure, Helpful Faculty, Amazing Vibe, Fun, Love to be there not a burden!

You can rent on campus residences which are very good and cheap or you can rent even cheaper rooms outside in the city especially near downtown area. Average Rentals is around 700$ (unshared) to 400-500 for shared room.

My experience at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped onto the campus, I knew I had made the right choice. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the breathtaking views of St. John's and the Atlantic Ocean, created the perfect setting for my university journey. One of the highlights of my time at MUN has been the academic quality and the supportive faculty. The professors are not only experts in their fields but also genuinely invested in their students' success. The smaller class sizes allowed for more personalized attention and meaningful interactions with professors, which enriched my learning experience. Beyond academics, the campus life at MUN was vibrant and engaging. There was never a shortage of student organizations and clubs to get involved with. I joined a few clubs related to my interests, which helped me make new friends and find a sense of community within the university. As an international student, I appreciated the diversity at MUN. Interacting with people from various backgrounds and cultures broadened my perspectives and enriched my overall experience. The university's commitment to inclusivity and creating a welcoming environment for all students was evident throughout my time there. The location of MUN in St. John's was also a huge plus. Exploring the city's unique culture, trying out local cuisine, and enjoying outdoor activities in the surrounding natural beauty became an integral part of my life. The city offered a perfect balance between academics and leisure, making my university years unforgettable. The support services at MUN were also commendable. The academic advisors and career counselors were always available to guide and assist students in achieving their goals. Whenever I faced challenges, there was a safety net of resources to help me navigate through them successfully. Additionally, being part of research projects during my upper years was a fantastic opportunity to delve deeper into my field of study and gain valuable experience that has benefited me after graduation. As I look back on my time at MUN, I am grateful for the memories, the friends I've made, the knowledge I've gained, and the personal growth I've experienced. Memorial University of Newfoundland has provided me with an exceptional education and a supportive community, setting me on a path for a successful future.

On-campus accommodation is costly. S0 90% of people stay outside. Normally a decent single room in a shared unit comes between 500 to 700 including utilities. I lived in a basement girls building for 4 months and I paid 550 CAD including utilities and it is just 5 min walk to the university. My husband then came here in Feb on SOWP and we both are living in a private basement which has two bedrooms I am paying 1100 CAD including utilities and that is also 5 min from the university. It is always better to choose accommodations with utilities included. Also should be aware of scams. Here the only mode of transportation is the Metrobus. The cab is very costly so students mostly don use it unless it's urgent. No other mode of public transportation so better choose to house near the university.

So far it has been excellent. So many opportunities right from working as TA to being vide president in IYA to COOP , there has been wide areas to explore and learn and has definitely expanded my skillset as a software engineer.

Rental are cheap compared to other mainland province but again payrate is also low. For students I would say either your work or your university should be near to your home. Here easy access to bus is necessary.

Studying and completing your graduation in university is one of the never miss experience. Accumulation of study academic and involvement of extra activities makes it worth a try.

MUN accommodation is limited. So I have found place outside and the people are the best of the best.

I had a great time learning about the culture and the standards at which a masters course is being taught. Learned a lot.
