Reputation and highlights

Student life

• St. John's is a small, walkable capital with a music and pub culture far larger than its size suggests.
• The campus sits close to the North Atlantic coastline, with hiking on the East Coast Trail within reach of the city.
• A large share of students come from outside the province, so residence and student societies carry much of the social life.
