REVIEWS OF THE GRADUATES

About University Of San Carlos: I have always liked my professors, especially those who share their love for literature and the English language. I was not initially keen on teaching, but towards my last years in college, there was one activity that 'woke me up', so to speak, and opened my eyes... |
D. B.
Studied B.S. Business Administration at University of San Carlos , Cebu City Graduated: 1985 Why did I choose this school: This school was already a by-word in education. With so many graduates who became successful this school had that honor and prestige. I wanted to study here. About University Of San Carlos: This university is located in downtown and I find it easier to study here. Its teachers were very learned. They know how to make the subjects easier to understand. I enjoyed attending their classes. The library and classrooms were air-con. This makes me listen more. The library is always full. I were home to read. The canteen had many students, I prefer eating outside. |
