Welcome to Memorial University

This online guide is a digital version of Memorial's "become acquainted with..." booklet. The intent of this website is to familiarize you with the shops, services, and attractions in the City of St. John's. Here are some quick tips to get you started:

• It is approximately a 10 minute drive from St. John’s airport to campus. The airport taxi has set rates from the airport to different areas in the city for $25 or less. If you are travelling outside one of these areas, you are charged using the meter rate. Check out www.citywidetaxi.ca/airport.html for more information.
• Churchill Square (a local shopping area) is only a five minute walk from the university. In “the Square” you will find a grocery store, a drug store, bank, restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops, hair salons and many other great little shops.
• Downtown St. John’s is within walking distance from Memorial. It takes approximately 30 minutes to walk from campus to downtown. Make sure to walk along the historic Water and Duckworth Streets and view downtown’s many interesting sights.
• First-year students can enjoy MUN Sea Hawks varsity games for FREE, just by showing their MUN ID.
• If you can’t find one of the streets listed in this booklet, a detailed road map of St. John’s can be found in the phone book at the front of the Yellow Pages.
