Most of my high school friends went here. We're all from different courses, from engineering to medicine to accounting, and we all have the same experiences. The teaching quality is horrible. I'm a computer science student, and in my experience, they don't even teach at all. They say they don't spoon-feed students in college, but the actual reason is that the professors here barely know anything about programming. Most of them only teach because they failed to succeed in the industry. In my first two years, most professors still teach but once you reach junior and senior year, they stop teaching altogether. I literally could've learned more if I just dropped out and studied on my own. There were multiple occasions when PLM interrupted my online studying because I had online or F2F classes I needed to attend just to sit there and learn nothing. The CISTM admin is especially bad. They’re always unprepared for everything and do everything at the last minute, even up to graduation. They're also anti-irregular. Irregular students aren’t given Latin honors even when they deserve it. Other colleges at least give their irregular students Latin honors as long as their grades meet the criteria. PLM didn't even spare the damn cats. They send people from the pound to capture them even though there's a student organization that feeds and cares for them. I could say A LOT more, but this review would get way too long. The only benefit of studying here is the free tuition. I guess you get what you pay for.

★★★★★(5 reviews)Only few professors really teach here. If you get what I mean. Wonder why they always remain on top rankings for boards? Because they are molded to pass just by self studying. That is given for college, but here, it’s triple the difficulty. Not to mention the chaotic system of the faculties and the slow system of the admin. This is the culture here. If you can endure this system, then, welcome to the Pamantasan!
1st time going there. I was amazed at how big Intramuros is. It's easy going there.therr are a few paid parking near PLM. The guardia civil are friendly and the surrounding place is amazing, well maintained.
PLM really gives students a solid education without the heavy cost—super worth it! I was able to finish my bachelor degree as a scholar. ❤️
The University has a somewhat enthusiastic and friendly environment. You can feel the warm vibe in this school. PLM students seem to be nice to people. The only problem is that sometimes the location of some office changes, so it was difficult to find the specific office we're looking. Yet, all in all, I like the energy and vibe at this university—friendly and warm atmosphere.
