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.
