St. Paul University Manila, St. Paul University System

Very unorganized graduate school, particularly the Education department!! If you are fully online, you will not know anything unless you ask and it’s very hard to reach the one who’s in charge! So frustrating that I wish I didn’t enroll here! But i’ll give the stars to the registrar’s office for being friendly and accommodating. That’s rare for a school registrar.

It is best to go here via LRT. There is quite a challenge going here via private cars because they do not have parking for visitor or students. Park at your own risk along the road with FEE, or you have an option to park your car in Robinsons Manila.

Year 2017, they prioritized the 'scholars' from provinces rather than those students who were paying full fee. The sad part was - scholars were supposed to be intelligent so they could somehow 'share' some knowledge to the 'paying-students' (as how most elite schools did) but they weren't. They were just the poor students pitied by nuns, they're even lazy. The paying students were often ignored esp most of them were not agressive on asking for a role. Most professors - on a lighter note - were excellent.

Even though I only studied here for 1 academic year, SPUM was able to instill in my values that will last me a lifetime. This school widened my horizons when it comes to holistic learning, they have provided me the chance to meet like-minded individuals and experiences that will push me out of my comfort zone. Moreover, they’ve thought me how to become a compassionate Filipino Catholic who’s in touch with my religion and spirituality. SPUM stays true to their promise of shaping their students to become Christ-centered, charitable, and charismatic people of the Philippines.

The university’s commitment to academic excellence was evident throughout my time here. The community is small but it definitely fostered a collaborative learning environment :)
