Enjoyed my visit here talking to the head of PE. A well-kept campus with nice gardens and gift shop. Quiet place out of the traffic.

★★★★★(5 reviews)The university is so clean, green and the students are so helpful and polite. The Narra tress are amazing. You have to pay 25 pesos if you wish to have a tour around the campus. It's free for alumni.
This place used to feel like a home away from home. Now, I dread traveling from my hometown to Dumaguete just to attend this school. Students in my department, including myself, have been treated unfairly and poorly. There’s no faculty evaluation at the end of the semester either, which leaves no room for improvement.
One the First University in the Philippines founded by the Americans. They’re quite strict today, as taking photo is strictly prohibited. Just ask the Security Officer, politely. He will allow you to take photo at a certain distance. Check at the century old trees … very amusing.
Their manicured grounds and towering trees just give off a sense of peace and quiet. The students seem to observe a low level noise rule and a modest dress code. Buildings are well preserved and their anthropology museum is filled with interesting artifacts.
