University of the Philippines
A Place for Honing the Intellect
Back to University of the Philippines
This is the best university in the Philippines. Education is unsurpassed. You need to be a student here to actually know the kind of training we go through. It is not true that the place is not conducive to learning. Not all student are highly politicized. It is true, the buildings are old, updates are needed, cleaning, maintenance. But the brilliance of the educators in this university cannot be compared to others. It is sad how people judge based on what the naked eye sees. Multi billion structures, modern buildings is equivalent to a good university and a good education? That is sad.

I think it is sad that the government does not put any money or effort into maintaining the ground and building of this esteemed institution. Why doesn't the school of Architecture take a lead in its upkeep as an ongoing project of architectural students. Unfortunately the infrastructure is crumbling, the ground, dirty and unkept.

this place is very far from your average stereotypical "university"; indeed, the ambiance there is not really conducive to learning at all. rather, it gives you the idea of mingling with nature rather than concerning yourself with the busy and stressful everyday life. however, a great calligrapher doesn't need a great pen. the students of the university of the philippines, however dilapidated their buildings are, or how much mowing their lawns needed, continues to strive for excellence with intellect. they care little, if some, of the condition of their almost century- old buildings. also, up life is something one should watch out for, since it is said that up students are radical and "politicized", maybe they would also be doing somethings out of the blue, and thinking some ideas out of the ordinary. and maybe that's what makes us unique.and, to relate it with this topic, worth visiting.

Place is dirty and students are highly politicized. Too many are self righteous. They often criticize but cannot provide solution. Several think that they are still in the 70s where the streets are their classroom.

The campus gardens need landscaping and the facilities need repairs. It's hard to believe that the university ranks as the Philippines' best educational institution when it doesn't even get attention from the government. As a tourist, I would rather visit other leading Philippine schools like the UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS or DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY where you can really "feel" the academic atmosphere conducive to learning in the middle of a busy metropolis.

I didn't expect the campus to look so ugly. I feel like I am in a garbage site. Buildings are dilapidated, walls are vandalised, campus grounds are filthy. Why can't the government take care of this venerable institution ?

It's a reputable academic institution in the Philippines producing bright graduates through the years. I could not find any university in the country which has gathered the finest students in the country. For more than ten years, it has blessed and equipped me with theoretical foundation, knowledge and training leading me to where I am. This university offers varied courses. It has the biggest campus in the country surrounded by huge trees.

UP Diliman is an escape from the hustle and bustle of Manila. The tree line academic oval rendered "carless" on Sunday's is the best place for clean and safe family time. It is also the best place to study.

the best place to be educated is U.P! At least, here in the Philippines. There's no other university in the Philippines like UP that has their own radio station. DZUP 1602 Boses mo 'to! The sites in UP are the best, with beautiful women around, what more can you ask for? ;)
