PUP Honest Review

For me, PUP is okay. Because it is a public university, the facilities are not that good, but considering that the tuition is free, it is good for less fortunate students who want to finish. I have good and bad experiences in PUP just like the profs who are not that hard to teach, there are profs who are very passionate about teaching.

School

I didn't like the teachings! The school was not quite good. The ambiance was not running. The students were not friendly. There were no many trees inside the campus. The institution was not conducive for learning.

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 .
