UST offers a wide range of service that could be helpful to students struggling in academic and social aspect. Though some of the classrooms would be outdated, it would still be better than what other universities offer.

Workload is too much, students are very much competitive but likely to get burnt out.
Environment is toxic since heavy weights of grade percentage are carried out even in the smallest tasks. Endless days and nights of anxiety is experienced first hand.

As someone from public high school, particularly in science high school, what gave me a shock was how much firmer the rules and regulations in this university compared to the schools primarily ran by the government or the DepEd. I like how the university instill on students the importance of being committed to duties and responsibilities. In contrast, what I dislike about UST is that some professors are still not open to the changes in the society; hence, they view novel beneficial things negatively. Overall, UST is recommendable to students who have strong will to study in an university with firm and disciplined environment.

UST is one of the prestigious universities in the country but one thing we all don’t like about it is how they make students with heavy workload. Despite the hardships, it’s the Thomasian community that makes us want to stay and keep going. I would still recommend it, since they really offer quality education.

Great school for those interested in medicine or the allied health sciences. Excellent for undergraduate degrees in the allied health sciences (including Pharmacy, Medical Technology, Nursing, Physical Therapy) but also for the traditional sciences such as chemistry and biology. The medical school is the biggest in the country, providing a rich education based on evidence based medicine with a deep grasp on clinical experience thanks to the school’s affiliated hospital. All med school faculty members are experts in their own right.

The University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery is one of the oldest medical schools in Asia that produces quality doctors locally and globally. During my time as a student, I appreciated the hands-on learning experience from professors. The same faculty members inspired me to pursue my specialty in Oncology. Your mentors in the med school are not just your teachers, but they also help direct you to your desired practice. The referral system is also helpful in our practice to help us serve our patients who are in need of expert consultation. There is a new extension hospital that houses even more rooms to do surgical and medical procedures as well as an upcoming research building dedicated to the faculty. The program has always been on top in the Philippines and the commitment to innovations and new facilities keep it relevant for times to come.

The faculty aims to train their students to be competent not just in theoretical but also in the practical field of medicine. Return demonstration of clinical tasks are highlighted by the departments in order to effectively hone the future Thomasian doctors.

UST is a wonderful place to grow and learn. It is filled with amazing people who will nurture the best version of yourself. The university offers a variety of programs that are excellent and topnotch. It is one of the best in country!

Rich in culture, part of the history, and immersive experience.

One of the oldest school in Asia, University of Santo Tomas gives quality education and an enjoyable experience.

Education and values are of importance in the university.

I have been with the University for more than a decade already and I am very proud I chose to be a Thomasian from College to Medical school up until my training as an Obstetrician. I may say, I grew up in this University and has inculcated its three core values: competence, commitment and compassion. I will forever carry these with me wherever I go, whichever path I will choose. I will surely recommend to the Thomasian way of living.
