A total waste of my time and my money

It's embarrassing that they call themselves a school. They're a company that wants to take your money without providing any education nor a recognized degree. The "teachers" are businessmen without any teaching qualification and without the know-how, the classes were boring and the forum structure is pointless. Save yourself and study somewhere else!

A good example

In this university i found peace , friends and the quality education , its not only lectures but they make sure that the students are enjoying while learning . They will mold you into a quality employee or a future boss of your desired business , and that's what i love from them .

Experience in UCB

y time in UCB has been one of the most memorable and precious parts of my teen life. It was where I experienced so many firsts—new friendships, challenges, and moments that shaped who I am today. Every day brought something new to learn, not just in the classroom, but about life, people, and myself. UCB became more than just a place to study—it was a space where I grew, laughed, stumbled, and stood back up. Those years will always hold a special place in my heart, a chapter filled with growth and unforgettable memories. uring my time as a senior high student at the University of Cebu Banilad campus, I learned how to be flexible and adaptable. Balancing academics, responsibilities, and personal life wasn’t always easy, but it taught me the value of time and resilience. Along the way, I met new friends who stood by me through every high and low. They’ve become some of the people I treasure the most, turning ordinary days into unforgettable ones. With them, I discovered not just how to manage life, but how to enjoy it fully—even in the busiest moments.
