Memorial subleases & MUN roommates.
SubSwap connects verified Memorial University students for subleases and roommate matching across the St. John's main campus and the Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook. Free to join with your @mun.ca email.
Two MUN campuses, one verified marketplace
Memorial University spans two cities. The main campus in St. John's is the second-largest in Atlantic Canada by enrolment; the Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook is smaller and more arts-and-sciences focused. SubSwap covers both:
- MUN St. John's — the Elizabeth Avenue campus. Listings cluster in Pippy Park, Pleasantville, Churchill Square, and downtown.
- Grenfell Campus (Corner Brook) — smaller market, listings around West Street and Broadway.
St. John's — campus-adjacent neighbourhoods
The MUN campus sits between Pippy Park and Pleasantville, with most off-campus rooms within a 15-minute walk or quick bus. Pippy Park is the closest residential pocket; Pleasantville and the Churchill Square area give you slightly more residential feel; downtown and Georgetown put you near Water Street nightlife at the cost of a longer commute.
Grenfell — small-town student housing in Corner Brook
The Grenfell Campus is on the west side of Corner Brook. The town is small enough that almost anywhere is within a short drive of campus, but the densest student housing sits around West Street and Broadway. The Corner Brook rental market is one of the cheapest in Atlantic Canada.
How much MUN subleases cost
St. John's 1-bedrooms average $1,064/month per CMHC's October 2025 Primary Rental Market Survey — one of the lowest provincial capital rents in Canada. MUN St. John's subleases on SubSwap typically range $500–$800 per room. Grenfell subleases in Corner Brook tend to come in even cheaper.
Find a MUN roommate
Roommate matching on SubSwap weighs sleep schedule, cleanliness, budget, study habits, faculty, and year of study. MUN students often match with Marine Institute and CNA students given how clustered the St. John's post-secondary scene is. You only see someone's full profile after a mutual swipe — no cold messages.
