Rizal Technological University (reviews)

I started studying at Rizal Technological University in 2020, right at the start of the pandemic. Despite the challenges of online learning, I can say that I learned a lot because many professors were helpful, kind, and made the effort to teach well.

But like in most schools, not all teachers were good. There were a few who didn’t seem ready to teach or didn’t explain things clearly. I also had 2 professors who were strict, and they are good in teaching where I can say that somehow I was able to learn and adapt to the way they explained things.

What I liked about RTU —I am from Pasig campus, is the peaceful environment. There are still lots of trees around, and I liked seeing cats there especially when I’m having a hard time, playing with them calms me.

What really disappointed me, though, was the admin process. As I was preparing for graduation, I was suddenly told that my Form 137 was missing—something I had already submitted during my first year. I remember clearly that during the pandemic, we were told to give our documents to the guard at the gate, and I did exactly that. After 4 years, to be told it’s nowhere to be found and that I have to get it again from my senior high school felt very unfair. It’s frustrating that students are the ones affected by poor record-keeping, especially when we already did our part.

Would I recommend this school? Yes! RTU is a public school so studying here is free! So if you’re struggling financially but looking for a university where you can learn, grow, and meet great professors, RTU is a good choice. But if you’re going to study here, prepared to deal with administrative delays or issues, so keep hard of the digital copies of every document you submit.

Having been a student at Rizal Technological University and actively engaged in the student council, I’ve come to appreciate the university’s commitment to discipline, evident in its strict adherence to systems like the dress code and grading policies. While these guidelines are essential for maintaining order, they can sometimes feel a bit too rigid, limiting students’ freedom of expression.

One area where I believe there’s room for improvement is in the responsiveness of certain university offices. There have been instances where students, including myself, have encountered challenges due to delays or lack of response from these offices, which can be frustrating and hinder our academic progress.

Despite these challenges, I’ve found my time at RTU to be incredibly rewarding. Through my involvement in the student council, I’ve been able to develop leadership skills and actively contribute to the betterment of our university community. I believe that by enhancing communication channels and fostering a more responsive environment, RTU can better support its students and create a more inclusive campus experience.
