The best you can study at in the South so far

Most students in the Southern Metro would consider San Beda College Alabang as their top choice since there's nothing much to choose from around the area. It's in a quiet and comfortable village only accessible by car, tricycle (a form of public transportation common in gated or small communities), or even by foot from the main village gate. For the quality of education, I guess it mainly depends on the professor a student will be lucky (or unlucky) to have per subject and also for the course taken. However, the institution should quickly update its course curriculum as it looks like the latest list of subjects for Communication Arts remains the same as I remembered it 7 years ago. The tuition fee and other fees here remain to be one of the highest in Metro Manila and might not be that pocket-friendly for middle-class students. But then, it can be all worth it in the end if you take Accounting and Law courses.

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.
