1. Tim Hortons
There are four Tim Hortons near Memorial University’s St. John’s Campus.
The first two locations are directly on campus. One is in the
Arts and Administration Building, and the second one is inside the Aquarena at the Works (Gym). The only downside is that its opening hours differ from semester to semester, so keep an eye out!
The third location is in the main lobby of the Health Science Centre. Located on 300 Prince Phillip Drive (in the same bulilding as MUN’s School of Medicine), this Tim Hortons is open 8-4 pm Monday-Friday.
