Memorial University of Newfoundland

Memorial University, or MUN as it's affectionately known, is deeply infused with the spirit of Newfoundland and Labrador: resilient, unpretentious, and incredibly welcoming. The campus vibe isn't one of cutthroat competition; instead, you'll find a collaborative and down-to-earth community where students genuinely help each other out. The St. John's campus, the largest, features a network of tunnels connecting many buildings—a beloved feature that students rely on to escape the legendary wind and rain. Student life is robust, with the famous Breezeway Bar hosting everything from trivia nights to live bands, and hundreds of clubs covering every possible interest. The student body is a fascinating mix. You have a strong contingent of proud Newfoundlanders, creating a core of authentic local culture, blended with a rapidly growing population of international students from over 115 countries. This creates a unique dynamic that is both deeply local and globally aware. The smaller Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook offers a more intimate, arts-focused experience amidst the stunning scenery of western Newfoundland. At MUN, you're not just a number; you're part of a tight-knit community that values character and camaraderie as much as academic achievement.
