Hi all,
May I ask why did you choose to apply for Memorial University? Is it only for the low tuition fee? Have you really done any research on the province of Newfoundland?
I actually went to MUN. You get what you paid for. I would say Newfoundland is a very nice province to travel to as a tourist, you might meet some really nice and hospitable people there as a tourist.
But at MUN, on the other hand, as an international student you might run into a lot of problems, some MUN employees can be pretty racist and unprofessional. When I first got there and went to student resource centers for services, I often got the cold shoulder because my English was not very fluent at that time. That had hurt my pride, I still remember some racist remarks made by MUN employees to this date. The funny thing is even after my English improved, people would still treat you differently because you are a visible minority. You could feel their lack of interest and lack of belief in you. Some of you might have already noticed that during the application process, they are kinda inefficient, and that is the way they are. Also, it is going to be extremely tough trying to find a decent job there after you graduate.
If saving money is your priority, I would suggest you look into some college programs offered in larger cities instead.
