Additional time in residence
The fees and move in/move out dates associated with residence are based on the semester start and end dates on the St. John's campus. For many students who are completing programs at other institutions these move in/move out dates do not line up with their academic semester dates.
Students who find themselves requiring additional time in residence due to their program end dates can contact us to discuss individual circumstances. Currently, additional time in residence is charged at $19 per day. Please note that dining services are not available between semesters and throughout the spring and summer semesters.
Selecting your accommodation preferences
Building
There are a variety of accommodation options available to choose from.
Paton College provides a high level of support and guidance which is best suited for undergraduate students who are in their first year of studies or away from home for the first time.
Macpherson College provides a higher level of independence and privacy than the residence halls and is recommended for independent, undergraduate students or those entering their second year and beyond.
Burton's Pond Apartments offer a high level of independence which is best suited for older, more independent undergraduate students in their second year or higher as well as best suited for graduate students and students with families.
If you are unsure of which building might suit you best, contact housing@mun.ca or visit the Student Residences main office to discuss your options.
Room Type
Paton College has two types of rooms: a double room and a single room. A double room is shared by two students. A single room has one occupant during the year. Single rooms are typically only reserved for returning students. Paton College also has quiet floors/wings and accessible units. In most buildings, the quiet floor is the fourth floor. There are also sections in some buildings designated as Living Learning communities each year.
Macpherson College has one type of suite: two private bedrooms with a shared washroom. Macpherson College also has quiet floors located on the fifth and sixth floors of both buildings as well as accessible units. There are also wings designated as Living Learning communities in both buildings each year.
Burton's Pond Apartments offers four single rooms in an apartment-style residence with shared common spaces (i.e. bathroom, kitchen, living room).
Roommate Requests
When you apply for residence, there will be a section to indicate any roommate preferences you have. If you do not indicate a roommate preference on your original application, but you wish to do so at a later time, please submit your request through email to housing@mun.ca. Please note that while we try our best to match up roommates, it is not always possible.
For a better chance at being matched up with your preferred roommate, please make sure that all roommates have also requested you as well. Only students who are offered and accept the same community will be reviewed if a roommate request is submitted.
If you do not have a roommate request, one will be assigned to you based on the questions you fill out on your application.
Burton's Pond Apartments has gender-inclusive apartments which means that genders will be mixed within these apartments. If you wish to live in one of these apartments, please indicate it on your application or through email to housing@mun.ca.
