Hey guys. I'm wondering if anyone knows the timeline for admission results regarding Fall graduate programs. For context I'm an international student who applied to the Chemistry graduate program. Deadline for the application was on 1st Feb and I thought I'd hear back by now. My nerves are killing me at this point.

Thanks in advance!

I recently stumbled across the Folklore program at MUN in my journey to find a place to complete a PhD. I'm currently in the Cultural Studies program at Trent University in Ontario (wrapping up my BA, and I'm planning on doing my MA here as well; I'm just curious and like to look ahead) and there are very few programs offered well, anywhere, that are even vaguely similar. My field of interest is ethnomusicology (folk music in North America) and it seems like the Folklore program is a good fit for that, both in terms of content and location.

I want to learn more about what the Folklore program is like. What's the environment like there? What kind of opportunities do you have in this program that make it unique? What are the downsides to taking this program? Also, what's life like at Memorial, just generally? Tell me anything/everything - even the shitty stuff. I want to get the best overview I can, directly from students rather than the uni trying to convince me to apply.

Incoming Master of AI student looking for housing/roommates for Fall 2026!

Hi everyone!

My wife's younger brother is moving to St. John’s this August to start his Master of Artificial Intelligence (MAI) at MUN. He’s an international student (from India) and we’re trying to get a head start on the housing search since we've heard the market is pretty tight right now.

A bit about him:

  • Program: Master of AI (Graduate student).
  • Vibe: He’s focused on his studies but definitely looking for a friendly, social environment. He’s lived with family/roommates before and actually prefers the company over living alone.
  • Preferences: He's looking for a room in an established house or someone to "join forces" with to sign a new lease. Ideally, he’d love to be around other grad students or professionals.

Location: Since most of his classes will be near the Science/Engineering side of the main campus, he’s looking for something within walking distance or on a solid bus route (like Routes 10, 15, or 16). Areas like Rabbittown, Elizabeth Ave, or near the Avalon Mall would be perfect.

Timeline: Planning to arrive in mid-August to settle in before the semester kicks off.

If you have a room available or are also a grad student looking to team up, please shoot me a message! Also, if anyone has tips on specific Facebook groups (other than the main MUN ones) or landlords to look out for, we’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance for the East Coast hospitality!

Buying Textbooks

Hi. Does anyone know any good places in St. Johns to buy secondhand textbooks? I think the Facebook group I usually use is kind of dead now.
