University of Santo Tomas Manila - UST (reviews)

It is one of the best universities in the Philippines that produced board exam passers in most fields and is considered to have one of the best nursing programs in the country. While students excel academically, I find that the curriculum is more focused on theory than in practice. Students can easily perform well in exams but in my experience we didn’t have enough opportunities to gain on the job training and experiences that would have prepared us for the real world. After graduating, even though I knew how to teach in theory I had to learn the practices and methodology on my own through experience. I would recommend the school to students who are more focused on passing board exams rather than gaining useful experience in the field of their choosing.

UST is a great university with a long history and a strong reputation, especially in the fields of medicine, education, and arts. The campus is beautiful and full of character, and the community has a strong sense of tradition. There are some areas to improve like admin processes, but overall, it’s a solid place for academic and personal growth.

Since joining UST, I have had some of the craziest experiences of my life. I have found the campus to be expansive, becoming home to many events, as well as catching up with my colleagues between lectures. The faculty members are quite laid back, always willing to assist, but however do encourage students to exert themselves. I am in the Nursing program and while it is tough, it has been a great learning experience.

UST’s campus is one of the main reason’s I enjoy studying at this institution. There is true diversity among the people in this institution, and they are extremely welcoming. Because of my spontaneous nature of joining groups and several activities, I’ve been privileged to befriend many wonderful people. The only thing that I didn’t like? The older buildings gave me trouble at times, but that also adds a sense of awe at having attended such an old school. All in all, it has been an amazing experience.

This university offers everything in the academe with updated information and catalogs. It also provides excellent and complete criteria for subjects that are needed for a course to be completed especially in Bachelor’s Degree.
