دانشگاه مموریال نیوفاندلند

If you can afford to go somewhere else I highly recommend staying as far away from here as possible. The admin is a joke, they single handedly ruined my law applications. They only sent me my updated transcript after the deadlines, even though they said it'd be fixed long before that. Professors are 50/50 in my experience. Some care and try to teach, others are clearly only there because they need the money. I've had multiple professors in online courses ignore emails FOR THE ENTIRE SEMESTER. There's literally no other way to contact these people other than their emails. Not just one either... multiple different profs have done this over the years. Save yourself the headaches and lack of legitimate education, if you have the money, and go somewhere else. Literally anywhere else is probably better than here.

Registar is awful. They sent me the enrolment verification from 2023 when I requested it this year, another $10 down the drain. Getting a transcript this year was also a nightmare; another student already mentioned it, but my applications to grad school were almost derailed because of MUN. The university is trying to save more money now, so they're making more cuts this year. I expect these problems to get worse. Thank god I'm done here.

Emily kept us entertained while we noshed down on excellent moose burgers and perfectly crispy fries. Great deal with half price burgers on Tuesdays! Looking forward to the return of the moose to Water Street this summer😁

Good so far, the two in person professors I've had are good. And the new building one of my classes are in are nice

Awesome university campus and quality of teaching.Not too big campus where you will get lost. friendly teachers and staffs. and more friendly people around the city.

The largest university campus east of McGill in Montreal…check its history and current status and you will be very pleased.

My Disheartening Experience with Memorial University I wanted to express my deeply unpleasant experience with Memorial University. Last year, I applied for both the MER and MA programs. Despite the official deadlines having passed, the university’s application portal allowed me to proceed with submission—charging $150 per application. Naturally, I assumed that if the system accepted late applications and collected a fee, there would at least be a review or communication regarding my application status. However, I received no updates for months. It was only after I personally followed up that I received a brief, dismissive response stating that late applications are not considered. If that is the case, why are students allowed to submit applications and pay a non-refundable fee after the deadline? Is this simply a mechanism to collect money from hopeful students, only to later deny them without consideration? What makes this experience even more frustrating is the complete lack of empathy and courtesy in communication. Despite explaining my situation, the individual who replied—Kim Andrew—offered no understanding or professionalism. His response lacked even the most basic respect that one would expect from someone working in education. There was no acknowledgment of the effort, the investment, or the emotional weight students carry when applying for graduate programs. Institutions like Memorial University should seriously reflect on how they treat applicants. It’s not just about rejecting a late application—it’s about the manner in which it's done. Words carry weight, and how you communicate can either soften a blow or shatter someone’s dream without a second thought. I sincerely hope Memorial University reviews its policies and rethinks the way it engages with prospective students. No one deserves to be treated this way.

The building is a great place to meet and have a discussion or learn.

Any one here for MSc in Biology (fish) or already done with Msc research programme..

I am thoroughly disappointed. Nearly everything is falling apart at this University. Not only the infrastructure (which leaks and falls to the ground) but the quality of the education as well. Professors are not valued at all, which prevent them from giving the proper care to students they would want to give. Everyone, including Profs, are scraping by to survive while the president makes close to half a million dollars a year ($487'000) how is that fair? Not only that but international students are, for lack of better term, being milked for their money at every corner. Nothing runs smoothly. Be sure that the administration will fail at the simplest task, from printing the wrong questions on an important exam, to planning around world changing events (like COVID). There is way too much to be said in one review. The only redeeming quality is the price (before raise) of the tuition but even that they managed to mess up, Go to Halifax instead. Same price (with new tuition) and way better environment

Excellent infrastructure and faculty. Overwhelmingly friendly environment. Best university one can dream of.

Everything is good until you see the truth. International students are treated very badly. They will hold your registration even after paying 75% of the total fees and with more than 3 semesters remaining. I have to wait a whole semester and miss my graduation just because they ask for all your money within the first year. Go somewhere else, same price better treatment and can even find job easily. Shame on you and shame on.

Surprisingly, MUN is a good world-class University with serene environment for study and effective infrastructure. Applying from overseas their response during the admission process was superb. I also commend their friendly, focused and result-oriented faculty that hit the ground running from day one. Really impressed!

Awesome educational institution, our whole family has benefited from it. So, lucky to be affiliated with Mun, both as a student and an employee. God guard thee Newfoundland!

Do they really think what they offer is worth 3500$ per semester? They have doubled their tuition fees in 2021. Do they think this is some kind of « Ivy School »? I personally studied at McGill and paid 1500$ per semester. I took advanced courses at the University of Toronto and paid 4000$ for the semester. If you’re an immigrant you shouldn’t even bother coming to Memorial or St.John’s. It’s very hard for immigrants to find jobs in St.Johns because they give preference to their people. Even if you do find a job, you won’t make more than 16$/hour, while in other parts of the country you could make 20-25$/h even as a student. Rent might be slightly cheaper (though not much different than Quebec or smaller towns in Ontario), but your opportunities and career will suffer. I lived in St.Johns and attended Memorial, I wouldn’t recommend :/

This review might be coming in late (I completed an Engineeing program in 2016) but I'd like to say... my time at Memorial was one of the finest experiences. No where on earth is perfect, but you have to make do with what you are given and the opportunities that presents itself.

First of all, they're known for their Folklore department, not Business or Science. If you go to this school with no issues that need to be fixed, I'm sure it's tolerable, but if you have a problem or need something taken care of, go elsewhere. Limiting the number of students who can register for a course they need to get their degree to only a 10/15 student capacity, and then refusing to sign people into the class, isn't what should be happening. Not to mention they keep taking away more and more parking lots, making the school pretty inaccessible considering the city's awful public transportation system. There is a reason why this school is so cheap.

I am always grateful to the nice staff in MUN and the nice people in St. John's. It was a great 2.5 years I spent there, got my degree and slowly blended into the Canadian culture (I am an international student). To those negative comments, I meant losers are gonna complain no matter which university or which company they go.

It's a good university and the professors are reasonably good and qualified (It depends on the different departments really). The atmosphere of the campus is relaxing and nice. You can have nice walks around a pond for example. The campus is not narrowed down like in a big city. MUN dining is average. You'll get pretty much the same meal very 2-3 weeks. Residence is on the okay side. If you like parties and are an extrovert, it will work well for you. The counselling centre is okay if you need help but there's a lack of diversity, so most issues that you'll try to explain will sometimes be waved away or not understood in your context. They're also pretty quick (very) at categorising you and putting a name on your "disease" rather than helping and providing a step by step approach to be and think better in your career and personal life. What was surprising enough was the lack of advice for a blood test to see if the physiology and hormonal balance were good. Because that could affect mental health too and no words were ever said on that. If you get diagnosed with a disorder or a disability, be prepared to do your own research on the subject because the resources won't be handed down to you (which is pretty unfair given that they are the ones who provide the tests). It's not a coaching center. The bus transit is not the best and a lot of time will be lost unfortunately. It gets worse during winter with all of the snow. The city is not too bad and safe. You can walk alone at night. However, it's not vibrant like Toronto or Montreal so you'll be bored most of the time. Restaurants are expensive and there's not a lot of variety to have a simple cheap snack. If you're an international student, I have to say, you'll have to carefully weigh the pros and cons of attending university here WISELY. The recruiters from MUN do not prepare you for the cultural differences and all of the barriers you might encounter. NL is a province on its own with its own culture. Let's not sugar coat things. It's very difficult to socialise and make friends who will be supportive enough. It's difficult to adapt to social settings outside of the structured environment that MUN can give e.g. work, group hobby. MUN International Office give the basic help and basic resources/knowledge that you will need to go through your first year but beyond that, you'll have to make it by yourself. People of colour, people with a language barrier, international students, or any person who could potentially be from elsewhere is labelled as being an "international." The difference between locals and internationals is very accentuated. And not toned down like in ON/QB. It's not easy to blend in and there is clearly a lack of inclusiveness from the city and the communities. It may happen very often that you'll get ignored in social settings/clubs or not recognized for participating in an activity (And this will happen many times). Also, if you find yourself in an unrequited relationship, please for the mother of god, leave and put your own life together. You'll never win and the help services provided by the university/city will never be by your side. You will mostly be judged rather than helped. Let's put it bluntly, you will get very VERY lonely. And I'm not speaking for myself only but for all international students whom I've met along the path. If you're well prepared to live without a family structure and start from scratch in St. John's without knowing anybody, then go for it. But if you're more of a family-type of person and somebody who needs structure, entertainment, a very active social life, think twice. You can attend your semesters here and travel during the summer if need be. Overall, MUN is a good school and give excellent education in some departments but you'll have to be very flexible, have a strong character, a solid mental state and be prepared to adapt to any situation good or bad. And be prepared to come home with no one to talk to 90% of the time. A wise message from an immigrant to a future/current immigrant: Leave NL if you want a job.
