Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John's Campus
On our largest campus, you'll find state-of-the-art study and research facilities, alongside on-campus student residences and a wide variety of academic programs. Student services, offered by Student Life and our students’ union, MUNSU, support our students in every way possible. You’ll also have access to countless extracurricular activities on campus and throughout the city.
New student experiences
The Student Experience Office empowers students – both current and prospective – by providing transition supports, leadership development and community engagement learning opportunities.
New students are encouraged to participate in MUN101, a high impact orientation and transition program to help first-year students adjust to university life, learn the ropes, become part of the community, and get set for success!
The first year at University can be daunting, but your peers are here to support you through the Peer network. The network connects current students with new students giving them the opportunity to receive guidance from mentors who have been where they are now.
