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 Though some of the classrooms would be outdated, it would still be better than what other universities offer.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.
