Current Weather In Calgary Canada Q&A
St. John's Newfoundland, current job situation, weather and university?
I am planning on transfering there to Memorial University from Calgary this coming fall...
Jobs - I noticed a lot of job advertisements (JobBank.gc.ca) these days from in and around St. John's... even though they offer minimum wage, for the cost of living and me being a student, i find that pretty good... is it true that the job situation has improved over the last few months or so? will I get a summer job and part time job there?
weather - wikipedia tells me that St. John's is the cloudiest, snowiest, windiest and has the most wet days of all the major cities in Canada. Given that the winters are relatively warmer compared to the mainland, how bad is it, really? is it that bad, that i should re-consider my decision?
University - I will be doing BSc Computer Science. I know it isnt known for its Comp Sci faculty, but my primary reason is the fees and living being really affordable for me to move away from home to...can anyone share their experince with the university there...?
The situation for lower paying jobs, and even for some better paying jobs, is quite good in St. John's. There are Help Wanted signs everywhere. You will have no trouble at all getting a job that should work for you. You will easily be able to get a summer job in the tourism industry for example, or even in another niche if you would prefer. A surprising number of students are able to get jobs on campus, or very close to campus or to where they live during the school year.
It is true that the winters are not as cold as in many other parts of Canada, but don't let that decieve you. They are raw and bitter. The cold is a damp cold and can cut to the bone. I've spent two winters about 800 miles from the north pole, and I find winters in St. John's colder - the combination of damp, cold, wind and little sun is very penetrating. So you have to be prepared to deal with that. Also remember that the sidewalks do not get cleared in the city in the winter, so if you are walking it can be treacherous if there has been a lot of snow. And St. John's often does get a lot of snow.
My first degree is from MUN. Two of my daughters also have degrees from MUN. It is a first rate univeristy, with great quality of life for students and excellent academic standards. I don't think you will be disappointed. And St. John's is a very interesting city. You will find lots to do, and make many friends. People are very outgoing and welcoming. You will quickly feel very much at home, and have a great life there.
So as far as I am concerned, the only down side is the weather. But the warmth of the people quickly outweighs that issue. Enjoy the city and the province.
