With students struggling to find housing in St John’s, Memorial University is asking current and former employees to consider renting a room in their homes to students. Saltwire reports that all of the university’s on-campus housing options, except for one, are full. The university has also asked students with single occupancy in traditional double dorm rooms to consider taking in a roommate and is giving incoming students without a place to live the option to take a year off. “We’re aware that students here, and at universities all across the country, are having a hard time finding affordable rentals near campus, and will do all we can to help,” said Memorial Manager of Communications and Media Relations Chad Pelley.
