The Most Sustainable and Eco-Friendly School in the Philippines!

As the title shows it is one of the most sustainable and Eco-Friendly School in the Philippines! The course i'm taking is Petroleum Engineering which is great. There are a lot of highly qualified Professors & Alumni's that gives us free seminars about this course.And in the Philippines there are two schools only that offers this course. And PSU is one of them. There are a lot of of foreign students that are studying here too. some are from Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, India etc.. I have a lot of friends that studied here to base on my recommendations. and they liked it here. Imagine going to a university that look like a forest and outside of it is like a vacation.
