Dorms in the University Belt – FEU, UE, PSBA, San Beda, UST, UM – Manila
My daughter transferred to FEU in Manila, so we had to look for a safe, secure and affordable dorm within walking distance from FEU. We spent more time in looking for a dorm than in working out her transfer. We looked at dorms near FEU, UE, UST, San Beda, UM and PSBA.
There are some insights that we learned about dorms and dorm hunting:
1) Private bathrooms are not always an advantage. In some dorms that we visited, we heard some renters complaining that their roommates don’t help in cleaning their bathrooms. Well, they could always hire someone to clean their bathrooms, but that’s additional expense. In dorms that have plenty of common shower rooms and restrooms, these are preferable to private bathrooms as common bathrooms are cleaned by the dorms’ cleaners.
2) You can go overbudget if you rent aircon rooms without submeters, or even with submetered rooms with roommates who insist on using aircon all the time. Without submeters, you’ll be paying for the consumption of aggressive electricity users, even if the bill per room is based on appliances used per room.
3) Dorms have contracts with terms ranging from two months to one year, with discounts for longer contracts. Most have one-month deposit and one-month advance requirements.
4) It’s so tiring looking for a lot of dorms, but if you’re patient and determined, you can still find an affordable but comfortable dorm. Wear flat and light sandals, and have pen and paper in handy for notes. When you’re comparing dorms later at home, you tend to forget some things, so it’s helpful taking notes.
5) Most shared rooms feature double-deck beds, certainly to save space. Among the ones we saw, it’s only KFFI that provides single beds.
If our experiences could help you, then we’re glad to be of help. Here are the dorms we looked at: (Rates are per individual)
KFFI Dorm
P. Paredes St., corner Espana, Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines
Tel. No. 7354663
Monthly rent: 1,800 (rooms on 2nd floor), 1,650 (rooms on 3rd floor), 1550 (rooms on 4th floor), with four people per room, non-aircon rooms; additional fees of 200 for electric fan, 100 for cellphone charging, 75 for light, and 50 for water; annual registration fee of 200.
Advantages: plenty of common bathrooms and restrooms, beds are not double deck, have windows, fairly wide concrete stairs, parents can call for login-logut info, very near FEU, lots of eateries nearby, including one eatery wherein one can buy food through a window from the first floor
The dorm is run by civic organization Kapatiran-Kaunlaran Foundation, Inc. KKFI also runs Hugh Wilson Hall Dormitory along Lerma St.
My Main Comment: If I were studying and looking to help my parents budget their money, I’d consider this dorm. Aside from its nearness to FEU and to affordable eateries, the beds are single, the bathrooms and toilets are adequate, and it’s run by a foundation.
GLORIETTA DE MANILA
776 San Sebastian St. near corner Claro M. Recto Ave., Manila, Philippines
Tel. Nos. 733-80-61 loc 106, call Mon to Fri 10am-7pm
Monthly rent: 2,200 (4-person aircon room with bathroom, excluding electric and water bills), plus a one-time payment of 2,140 for maintenance fees for a six-month contract; 1,200 (4-person room with common bathrooms) plus one-time payment of 2,140 for maintenance fees for a six-month contract
Advantages: Fenced compound with a small garden with chairs and tables for guests and relaxation, eatery near the compound entrance, fairly wide concrete stairs, large mirrors near the stairs, mini-balconies
ST. CATHERINE’S LADIES DORMITORY
868 Quezon Blvd., beside FEU
Tel. Nos. 410-3743, 721-77-36, 0919-602-8101
Monthly rent: 1,200 (room for ten persons, five double-decks, electric fan, including water and electricity), 2,200 (room for two persons, but all occupied when we inquired)
Advantages: One of the nearest to FEU because it’s just beside FEU. If it’s raining and you don’t have an umbrella, you can reach the dorm without getting wet. We didn’t time our walk, but I think a walk from the FEU’s western gate to the dorm takes about two minutes. There are also plenty of affordable eateries nearby.
Features: Has a security guard (palabiro, has been with the dorm for years) and has a manang who’s very pleasant.
Concerns: Only a few common bathrooms — my daughter’s main concern.
My main comment: If I were a student who’s concerned about my parent’s expenses, I’d choose this dorm, especially if I’m school all the time, and use the school’s facilities most of the time, so I’ll just use the dorm for sleeping and getting ready for school.
METRO DORM
1388 Claro M. Recto Ave., corner T. Alonzo, corner San Bernardo, Santa Cruz, Manila, Phil
Tel. Nos. 0906-538-5024, 735-5121
Monthly rent: 2,800 (2-person non-aircon room, one double deck), 3,100 (2-person aircon room, one double-deck, excluding aircon charge)
Advantages: steel closet per person, study table and chair per person, plenty of common shower rooms, restrooms, and long sink area, large lobby, a Mercury Drugstore on the first floor of the building (good for groceries and toiletries), building security guards, and a dorm doorwoman.
Concerns: One has to take a seven-peso jeep ride to and from FEU, although someone used to walking can cover the distance by walking. There are a lot to be encountered on the sidewalk though, such as vendors, street children, merchandise, pedestrians, pet hawkers, and the like.
My Main Comment: If not for the distance to FEU, I’d choose this for my daughter, as the price is just right considering that there are only two persons in a room, the room is wide enough for two study tables (which are missing in most dorms), and the shower rooms and toilets are new and clean. Mattresses are also provided and bedsheets are changed every week.
FINEST LEGACY SUITES
778-780 San Sebastian St., near corner Claro M. Recto, Manila, Philippines
Tel. Nos. 985-68-48, 734-95-88
Monthly rent: 3,000 (4-person aircon room), 5,000 (2-person aircon room), 2,500 (4-person non-aircon room), 4,000 (2-person room), excluding electric and water bills
Advantages: Every room has an electric submeter, private bathroom, and place for hanging wet underwear. Has reception area and security guard. Parents can call for login-logout info. This dorm looks newly built.
My main comment: If not for the distance to FEU and the overall total costs, I’d choose this dorm for my daughter. The building is new and clean with each room with a hanging area for wet underwear, fitting my daughter who has allergic rhinitis.
QUINCE DORMITORY
2206 San Anton St., Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines
Tel. No. 0928-275-4243
Monthly rent: 2,200 (4-person non-aircon room double-deck beds), 2,400 (2-person non-aircon room), 3,500 (4-person aircon room including aircon charge), 3,000 (6-person aircon room including aircon charge)
Advantages: The dorm manangs cook affordable food and there’s free wifi connection.
CITIDORM
748 M.D. de los Santos St., Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines
Tel. No. 998-7165, 559-7824, 0922-8619798
Monthly rent: 3,200 (4-person aircon room, common toilet and bath), 3,500 (4-person aircon room with private bath and toilet), 2,100 (4-person non-aircon room with common bath and toilet), 2,400 (4-person room with private bath and toilet), electric and water charges already included, but aircon runs only at certain hours.
Advantages: Free wifi connection, security guard, reception room, fairly wide concrete stairs, plenty of common bathrooms and toilets
PACIFIC POD
2nd Floor, San Jose Bldg., P. Campa cor Espana, Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines
above KFC
Tel. Nos. 0922-8847157, 09339551852, 711-2719, 711-4445
Monthly rent: 3,500 (two-person aircon room)
Advantages: along Espana, near FEU and UST, near KFC, McDo and other eateries
Features: Common bathrooms — This is an advantage for those who don’t have time cleaning bathrooms. There’s a small store for snacks and prepaid loads inside and an Internet station.
There’s also a Pacific Pod dorm on 507 Gastambide St. very near the corner of Claro M. Recto Ave. and Legarda, Sampaloc.
We were still looking at other dorms when my daughter’s friend from high school texted if my daughter likes to stay with her and another friend at an unfurnished studio-type unit along Espana. Although my daughter needs to take a jeepney ride from the offered unit to and from FEU, we decided to say yes, as it’s my daughter’s first time to live away from us, so living with friends could help. Besides, her share of the rent would be only 1,400 plus her share of the electric consumption. (When my daughter moved in, however, her share increased to 2,100 pesos as the third person backed out.)
Update based on a flyer given to my daughter this February 2011:
ALQ CONDO DE LUXE LADIES DORMITORY
926 P. Campa St, Sampaloc, Manila
Beside McDo Espana, near overpass to Morayta (now Nicanor Reyes)
Tel Nos: 734-0118, 346-4273

Hi Nors,
Thank you so much for this info. Our son wanted to go to UST to study architecture and we’re looking for a decent dormitory for him.
best regards,
Jill
Hi, Jill, I’m glad that you like my blogpost about dorms. There are dorms along P. Noval, Dapitan, Espana, Lacson — nearer to UST — that we didn’t inspect because they’re farther from FEU. Hope you find a good but not-too-expensive place for your son. Best regards too.
Im also looking for a room for rent for my son. He will be enrolling in UST this coming June.
thanks
yan po ba talaga ang price sa FINEST LEGACY SUITES, METRO DORM,GALLERIA DE MANILA??pwede din po ba ang lalake sa mga dorm na nabanggit ko po? thanks.
Hi DJ, ang for the boys, yon metro dorm lang sa tatlo na yan, palagay ko ganon pa rin ang prices, or kung nag-increase baka konti lang, call mo na lang sila. KKFI, Quince, Citidorm at Pacific Pod — for both male and female
yung sa Pacific Pod dorm sa Gastambide St for both male and female din po ba?
DJ, not sure na, pero parang oo. Yong sa espana, i’m sure both male and female.
DJ, marami diyan sa banda diyan, walk walk ka lang, yong early morning or late afternoon, di mainit. Yong very near feu kasi kami nagfocus.
yung FINEST LEGACY SUITES po for both male and female po ba?
Thank you for this info. .:)
DJ, yong Finest Legacy at Galleria sa San Sebastian ay for women only
Thanks for this information, I’m looking for a Dorm wherein I can manage to go out and come in midnight because I’m working as a Call Center Agent in Pioneer Mandaluyong City at thesame time planning to study in FEU this June.
Thanks and More Power.
Hi Shaun, thanks for your encouraging comment. I admire you for planning to work and study at the same time. Your parents are fortunate to have you as their child. There are other men’s dorms near FEU that we didn’t inspect as we were interested only in ladies and co-ed’s dorms.
Hi there Nors,
I was wondering if any of the listed dorms above have any available single rooms? I’m quite uncomfortable with rooming with someone else so I’m looking for a dorm that has some for single rooming.
Thanks!
Yes, there are rooms available for single rooming in a few of the dorms, but all usually are taken. For most of the others, you just find a room for 2 persons, and then pay the other renter’s rent. For example, at Metro Dorm, if you rent the two-person non-aircon room, then pay 5,600 pesos (2,800 x 2). Check also ALQ Condo Dormitory on P. Campa, behind McDo, opposite KFC, near Espana-Morayta underpass — tel no 734 0118
I would just like to know. is there a dorm that is only for boys???
Hi Keith, meron, kaya lang, kami — puro for girls or for both girls/boys lang ang tiningnan namin, kasi we were looking for a dorm for our daughter. Yong KKFI, yong men’s dorm nila separate sa women’s. Yong Metro Dorm along Recto in Sta Cruz, separate ang floor ng men’s.
ah… wala po bang dorms na completely for boys only???
ano po yung dorm na pinaka malapet po sa FEU po??? na for boys and girls or for boys only ? thank you po
Ano ba, Keith …. parang takot ka sa girls. Baka tutulungan ka pa sa homework. If there are no women in the world, malungkot.
Yong sa KKFI, separate building talaga, very near FEU. From FEU, daan ka sa Espana overpass, then go towards the new Baliwag eatery — malapit na ron ang KKFI.
Merong mga malapit, search ka lang, maaga or late hapon para di mainit.
hehe
tnx po 
parent na po ba kayo??? hehe its not that i am afraid of girls. medyo gusto ko po muna medyo lumayo sa kanila 
hehe
Yes, parent na ako, and my child is a girl turning young woman na. Kung may makita kang ok for boys, share mo dito ha, if you have time, baka meron ka ring kapareho na gusto munang lumayo … hehe
hehe
thank you po 
since we are getting to know each other napo 
can you suggest to me any part time jobs that i can do. and can i add you as my friend in facebook. and will your daughter who is turning into a young lady going to study in FEU?
Hi Keith, so sad lang na there are not many job opportunities for high school grads. Kasi nga there are so many unemployed college grads. If you apply for instance at Jollibee or McDo, you’ll be competing against college grads, 3rd year college students or college dropouts. Siempre kung ako ang manager, pipiliin ko yong mas mature at more likely na magtagal.
Pero I know a first-year college student who’s working part-time at SM Supermarket, sa package siya sa Customer Service, so siguro nagtatanggap din ng young person ang SM. Hindi ko lang alam kung dahil sa job program ng munisipyo ng Muntinlupa, or may kilala yong father.
Minsan, pasyal ka sa munisipyo ninyo — may job ads doon, o visit your city hall’s website, baka may job ads doon o job program.
Sa Internet, siguro alam mo na may mga mapagkakakitaan din. Maraming scam, pero pag mapag-research ka, okay naman.
Mga cents cents lang pero naiipon din naman. Kung wala ka rin lang ginagawa.
Keith, I’ll get back to you later.
By the way, Keith, before I give tips about Internet earning for teens further, may I ask kung ano na ang pinaggagawa mo sa Internet? May mga racket ka na rito? Ano nang sites ang member ka? Baka kasi mas marunong ka pa sa akin sa mga income for teens.
elow poh

reviwee poh kmi from excel, mlapit poh s my feu and ue gym. we are four girls poh, anu poh ung massuggest niong mgndang dorm?? aus lng poh b ung KFFI dorm, Galleria or CITIDORM. ung kffi dorm poh b mgnda nmn poh and oki for mga magrrvw?? tnx
Hi, Jewel, kung papayag ang KFFI sa short-term, ok na dito. Kung merong mga vacant rooms, palagay ko papayag sila. Tsaka summer naman ngayon, so palagay ko flexible sila ngayon. Meron kasing mga advance/deposit ang mga dorms kaya you need to tell that you’re reviewees. At bihira ang dorms na nagre-refund. When we were searching, may mga napuntahan din kami na may mga reviewees pero nakalimutan ko na ang names — basta near lang diyan. Meron pang isa sa along Paredes, na may connection sa portion ng FEU gym extension, mura yong kainan, ok ang rooms, kaya lang 2 common bathrooms lang sa entire floor. Yong Citidorm, baka papayag sila, tawagan nio na lang.
ay ndi poh b cla natanggap ng reviwees? i saw the pix of kkfi. mukhang mgnda at malinis nga poh. pasyalan nlng dn poh nmin cla.. tnx for the infos
Hi Jewel, hindi ko sure. Kasi nong tiningnan namin puro students yong nakita namin. Sana puede.
Hello po.. Thanks for the info. I will be reviewing for NLE on Apr 4th and I want to rent a dorm or apartment maybe.
What is the best dorm that u can suggest po kaya? Sa may Carl Balita Review Center po kasi ako.. Gusto ko po sana yung tahimik and yung may wi fi connection and yung mejo mura lang po, like 3k-3.5k lang…
Hi Kitin, marami kang makikita na malapit sa review center mo sa rate na 3 to 3.5k. Itong ALQ Condo along P. Campa, parang ok ito. But I saw this only sa flyer, hindi namin napasok. Maglakadlakad ka lang sa area, marami. Siguro naman tatanggap sila ng reviewee kasi summer naman. May mga advance/deposit kasi usually, so sabihin mo agad na one-month or two months ka lang.
Hi po Ms. Nors
ask ko lang po sana kung meron din pong dorms sa La Salle.?
malapit lang din po ba yun sa campus.?
Hi Darlene, yong mga dorms na listed in the above article are all near FEU (kasi it’s here where my daughter is studying), malayo na sa LaSalle. Marami rin diyan sa LaSalle area, kasi marami ring schools diyan, like St Scho, lakad-lakad lang kayo sa inner streets. Or surf sa Internet.
Thanks po..
siguro naman hindi na sila maghahanap ng advance and/or deposit kasi 3 months lang naman ako…
I’ll try that ALQ condo.. Sana ok sya.. thanks po again..
Hi Kitin, hope so. Hope also you would have time to comment about ALQ here, and thanks a lot.

Wow, thanks, Kitin for the info you shared. This will help a lot. These days, maraming visits itong blogpost na ito — obviously maraming naghahanap ng dorms. Glad that you’ve found one that you liked. Will copy paste your info sa blogpost above para mas makita nila. Thanks a lot Kitin. Best regards..
Hi
how much in ALQ Dormitory ?
Incoming freshman in FEU
Hi Anjj, paki-call na lang yong number above. If I have time mamya, I might call. Pero ikaw na lang, then perhaps you can share here. Thanks. And have a great time in FEU. Hope no tuition fee increase because my daughter also studies in this school.
magkano po s ALQ?
wow. ano po course niya ?
im in marketing management by the way
Hi Anjj, Psychology ang course niya — 2nd year irregular sa next sem kasi she transferred from another school/another course. Have a great day.
Hi klt, may nagtanong na rin niyan dito, baka makatawag siya sa ALQ. Pero tawagan mo na lang, klt. may phone nos naman. Have a nice day.
wala po bang cellphone no.? wala po kc aqng pantawag s landline
For you, klt, tinawagan ko ngayon lang ang ALQ, guard lang ang andon, mamyang hapon pa raw darating yong nakakaalam ng rates. minsan din gabi na. marami raw taga FEU don. Yong guard, walang idea sa rates. Mamya na lang.
salamat po…ill be waiting…kailangan lng po tlaga..reviewee po aq..pero malapit po s feu ung review center..marami pong salamat…great help!
Reviewee ka pala, klt. Basahin mo yong comment ni Kitin dito rin, sa may itaas. One-year contract daw ang kelangan sa ALQ. at may suggestion siya na ibang dorm.
Kung meron na pong rates sa alq dormitory.
Thank you 
please let me know
Hi Anjj, katatawag ko lang doon, hindi raw nagpunta ron yong may alam ng rates. Wala rin daw nakasulat don na rates. Gusto raw kasi ng administrator siya ang mag-explain sa rates. Bukas, baka andon na siya. Ang additional info, every room daw has an electric meter.
hi ms. nors. kaka-search ko po sa net kya nkita ko po ang blog ninyo. very informative po ha? undecided po kasi ako pag hanap ng dorm. baka po matulungan po ninyo ako? currently working in makati and planning po mag review sa prtc (halos tapat po ng ue) this may 2011. i chose weekend session kasi po monday to friday ang pasok ko sa work. the session starts at 730am and ends at 900pm every saturday and sunday. hanggang 9am-7pm naman po ang pasok ko sa makati. advisable po ba na uwian na lang ako sa amin sa cainta, rizal or mag rent na lang po sa makati near sa office or sa manila near prtc? pasensya na po ha? first time ko po kasing mahiwalay sa family ko at walang alam sa household chores kaya don’t know what to do hehe thanks alot po in advance. God bless and more power po
Hi, Ann, thanks for your comment na it’s informative. I admire you for having gotten a job quickly in light of the fact that there are many who can’t get a job. You must be good and smart. Ang advice ko mas ok na sa near makati ka maghanap ng dorm kasi 5 out of 7 days ka na andiyan, samantalang 2 out of 7 ka lang dito sa PRTC. Marami ring affordable diyan sa Makati. Tingnan mo yong map ng Makati sa Google maps, tapos take note of the streets near your work, tapos search ka ng for rent o dorm sa sulit.com.ph o sa google na mismo. You don’t need to do household chores naman — you eat outside sa mga affordable eateries and you bring your clothes to the laundry, or to cainta on weekends. You might also want to explore first — meaning chika-chika sa officemates, kasi meron din diyang nagre-rent o nagdo-dorm. When I was working in Makati, I found out na marami rin palang affordable diyan at marami ring nagre-rent na working women diyan. Meron ding mga nagre-rent in a place na one ride lang to their office in Makati, kasi mas mura o meron silang kasama. Hope you come back again and share your experiences. Keep on being smart and take care.
this is exactly what i’ve been searching for.. thank you po sa pagpost ng blog na ito. yung citidorm po kaya eh pwede po combined ang gender ng tenants? kasi we are looking for a place, 2 room apartments po, 3-4 persons po, not studio type along R. Papa St. near FEU Gym and PSBA. we’ll be haing our training this May. what can you suggest po. thank you!
thanks for the info.. it really save me a lot in searching where could i get some info about dormitories and boarding houses near u-belt.. i will link you for this.. =)
para sa mga nagtatanong sa ALQ, 3500 ung upa…wala namang 1yr contract. dun ako e…mnths lang ako
san po malapit ung ALQ? may available units p po b for may to october?
Hi lucky, thanks for sharing the rate. di pa uli ako nakatawag doon, palaging wala yong nagbibigay ng rate. bakit kaya ayaw nilang iwanan sa guard yong rates. thanks again. good naman at walang one-year contract. baka nasa pakiusap din.
Hi klt, ang ALQ ay very near the Morayta Espana overpass. It’s beside McDonalds at medyo katapat ng KFC.
Hi Amiel, yong sa citidorm, magkaiba ang floor ng men and women. pero baka merong exception. pakiusapan nio na lang. puede siguro kayo sa men’s floor dahil kung sa women’s floor, baka merong o-oppose.
salamat po..may nkuha n po kme room for rent..near feu..but this helped us a lot..thanks…
hehe thsnks po sa advice ha? iyon din po naisip ko, mag rent na lang near sa work ko kaya lang iniisip ko naman po iyong paguwi ko sa gabi from review kasi 9pm na po ang labas so parang puwede rin po na magrent ako near review center tapos dun na lang po ako manggagaling papasok sa work ko pero iniisip ko naman po ang maglaan ng oras sa pagbabasa kahit weekdays kasi hindi naman po advisable magbasa habang nasa biahe, vision naman po ang magsasacrifice. medyo mahirap din po mag weigh anoh? hehehe
thank you for the info mam. ask ko lang din yung sa Galleria de Manila, combined po ba dun? dorm like po ba sya or just bedroom na may cr or parang apartment na by unit po ang rent? thank you po ulit sa reply..
ask ko lang po kung bumabaha p dn ng malaki s my espana?
Hi amiel, dorm-like siya na modern. parang 4 floors. may website siya dati, para sana sa pics, pero di ko na siya makita.
Hi klt, this second sem 2010-2011, wala namang baha sa espana. Pero based sa news dati, bahain ang espana kung super lakas ang ulan.
hi po..thanks po..
ung galleria de manila…i think u r referring to glorietta de manila…
meron p kayang available unit dun?
Hi klt, thanks a lot for pointing out my error, hehehehe, di rin napansin ng iba. kaya pala hindi ko mabalikan yong website, mali pala naitype ko. I changed na yong name sa post ko. Thanks again klt.
Palagay ko meron pa don, kasi nong nagpunta kami don, marami pang available. Medyo above average kasi ang rates nila, so hindi mabilis mapuno palagay ko.
hi po ulit
sorry po ngayon lang po ako naka reply kase i thought na you did not reply na. i dont have naman po any internet selling or any group selling. pero i know some teen jobs. im thinking on trying it also pero po i dont have connections to start one.
Hi keith, akala ko kasi sumasali ka na sa mga Paid-to-Click na sites na nagbabayad ng cents, pero kung marami ay nakakaipon naman. At okay lang ang Paid-to-click kung naglalaro ka lang naman sa Internet at okay lang sa inyong bahay na matagal ka sa PC (nakakadagdag din kasi sa kuryente). Basta observant ka na lang sa community ninyo kung ano ang puedeng pagkakitaan. Tingin tingin ka sa mga ads na nakadikit sa mga poste o walls. Or kahit naman di ka mag-work pa, basta tumulong ka na lang sa house ninyo, at hindi ka hingi ng hingi ng pera, malaking tulong na rin yan sa parents mo. Punta ka sa sulit.com.ph, sa forums, tingnan tingnan mo ang mga pinag-uusapan doon, makakapulot ka rin ng ideas.
Gd day maam, male & female po ba ALQ dorm? if galing k ng Quipo going to UST, left or right side? thanks
Hi Sher, female lang ang ALQ palagay ko kasi yong pangalan niya merong “Ladies,” pero baka merong change. Coming from Quiapo, left mo. pagbaba mo sa Morayta Espana, tatawid ka sa overpass.
hi im looking for a dorm/boarding house for male and female near morayta. My classmates and I will be having our review this june at MRII (929 Nicanor Reyes St., Manila 1015)..tnx
Hi.. thanks for the info

im studying at FEU (3rd year student)
ngdodorm na po ako sa METRODORM..
almost 1 year na ko ngdorm dun, Maganda sya.. seperate kc ung floor ng girls sa boys..

Pero, nghahanap po ako nung dorm na malapit lng sa FEU ung pdeng lakarin lng.. sa Metrodorm kc sumasakay pa ko ng jeep..
Thanks
Uhm, pde ko po malaman san ngdodorm ung anak nyo po?
ngahahanap po kc ako makakasama sa dorm. Pra nmn po my kakilala na ko ^^
thanks
Hi Kathreen, thanks for the Metrodorm info. I’m sure it will help those who are considering Metrodorm.
Last sem, nag-rent ang anak ko together with her hi-school friend ng studio-type room sa Craig near Espana na nagko-commute din sila. Pero umalis na sila don kasi para hindi nila bayaran yong 2 months of summer. Now, together with their other hi-school friends, they plan to look for a place to rent na kasya sila. Pero hindi pa sila nagtitingin. I’ll tell you pag naghanap na sila. Hindi sila nag-aapura kasi I’m telling them na parang mas mura yata na mag-commute na lang ang anak ko. Thanks for considering to rent with my daughter. She’s a Psycho student 2nd yr irregular next sem. What’s your course?
hello kathreen,i am so thankful for your info about dormitories,thank you very much for posting our dorm.ST.CATHERINE’S LADIES DORMITORY.I am surprised that we have customers telling us about the post.but anyway,really thank you very much.i and the manong guard looking forward for your help about this.anyway,i am the manang which you mentioned in your posting.MORE POWER AND GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
Hi Merly, thank you very much, too. I’m Nors, yong taga Muntinlupa. I saw your dorm together with my daughter (yong course ay Psycho) before second sem last year. Gusto ko sana diyan dahil napakalapit at makakatipid talaga ako, pero sumama kasi yong anak ko sa hi-school friend niya. I hope napuno na yong room na nakikita yong Quezon Blvd. Regards, and I know you’re happy as manang to the young people there. Regards also to the guard na palabiro.
san po kaya maganda na sutdio type na magnda na malapit lang po sa UE ..
Hi ephraim, maglakad-lakad lang around the univ. area. bandang hapon parang malamig. or look at sulit.com.ph ads
Hi mami nors ^^ HRM student po ako.. upcoming 3rdyr this sem ..
)
)
Aun po..nghahanap dn kc ako mkakasama, pra sure na safe ung tutuluyan ko
and gusto ko dn po kc ung malapit sa feu
salamat po sa reply
Godbless.
Hi Kathreen, maganda nga kung meron kang makasama na you have some idea about na. I’ll inform you kung may makita ang anak ko and her group na okay at kung kasya pa ang additional person. Pero based kasi sa expenses niya last sem at nong time na hindi siya nag-dorm, mas tipid kasi yong commute na lang siya, although nakakapagod talaga ang magbiyahe. So we’re considering na mag-commute na lang. If you find time, or napadaan ka sa Espana, how about exploring ALQ Condo. Lagi kasing wala yong may alam ng rates pag tumatawag ako. God bless din.
thnx for the reply maam .. mukhang nakahanap ako ng maganda na malapit lang sa skul na lilipatan ko , and i guess university tower 2 ang gusto ko
Hi ate Kathreen :
I’ve read na naghahanap ka ng karoommate mo, and so am I .
maybe you’d like to ,just in case 
para may kakilala na po ako .
my parents want me to stay in a dorm para less stress sa school esp. sa byahe ..
naghahanap parin ako ng dorm na mganda at safe. pls notify me if you’re interested to my suggestion..thanks and God bless
Hi Mommy Nors!
Thanks po for the informative lists of dorms! this is such a great help for my parents.3 days narin po kasi akong naghahanap sa google ng dorms na maganda!sa FEU din po kasi ako mag-aaral so mas mganda po talaga kung walking distance sya.
naghahanap po ako ng ganung dorms and has wifi,airconditioned room,safe, and nasa 2500-3500 range .. what can you suggest po? Thanks po!
God bless
Hi ephraim, thanks for sharing about university tower 2. if you have time, can you share us the tel no. or how much is the rent? thanks ephraim.
Hi Jhane, hope Kathreen reads your message. Hindi ko pa nakikita yong loob ng ALQ, pero based sa brochure nila, parang okay, and it matches your rent range. And very near. from feu, walk ka lang sa espana-morayta overpass, pagbaba mo KFC, then McDo at ALQ na.
Hope you’ll share again your experience kung nakita mo na itong ALQ or other dorms. and thanks for commenting.
based on my research po sa sulit.com.ph ang studio type po nila na pede rentahan is 11-17k po monthly. ung 11k po is not furnish pero ranges 15-17k is fully furnish .
thank you so much sa nag post nito ive been spending too much time searching the web para mag hanap lang ng dorm btw anu po pla ang best dorm ag cheapest then aircon near feu boy po ako need suggestion lang po yung may girls din po ahh haha thanks po
haha .. nice one clyde
Hi, Clyde, among the above, parang Citidorm ang match sa preferences mo. yup, may beautiful girls doon nong nagpunta kami, pero nasa higher floors sila. Pag may makita kang better dorm, share mo dito ha, thanks.
Hi ephraim, thanks a lot. yong 11k, siempre add mo pa rito meralco and water, so magiging 14k to 15k? kung apat, (masikip na?) 3,750 ang isa. tapos mga beds and tables pa and other appliances. whew! mabigat talaga magpaaral ngayon.
speaking of share pinag uusapan po namin ng mga classmates ko is yung MP Towers 5k/mth owned my manny pacaman hehe yung directions nya is straight lang from mcdo p. campa with wifi elevator and security na rin…
PAG GANUN NA PO MAAM MAYBE ILL BE IN THAT TOWER ALONE .PROBLEMA KUNG MAY ROOM MATES KXE . I CANT CONCENTR8 . MEDYO PROBLEM CHILD DIN .. HEHE ^^ .
Hi Clyde, maganda nga yang MP Towers, I looked at the photos sa flickr. Sana may time kami para makita yan. yong 5k a month kaya is for one person? Thanks
Hi ephraim, parang ang bigat naman kung 12k up ang gagastusin mo sa monthly rent. Pero if you can afford it, then you’re fortunate because you can have your personal space. Study well na lang para sulit. Best regards.
UN NGA DN PROBLEMA MAAM .. KAYA STILL LOOKING PA DN MAS MURA PERO 1 OF MY OPTIONS IS THE UNIVERSITY TOWER. PARA ANDUN NA LAHAT .. DNA KAYLANGAN KAGAMITAN.MAGANDA DN ANG MGA AMENITIES NILA AND LESS WORK SA MGA GAWAIN .
hehe
hello po ulit 
ano po yung paid to click po??? internet job po ba yun? how much do they pay naman po??
Hi, keith, oo, masasabi na ring online job para sa mga marunong na sa techniques ng PTC. pero okay lang ito kung naka-focus ka sa games sa bahay — parang replacement ng games kumbaga, kasi parang lugi rin kung mag-PC/internet ka lang para sa PTC, kasi cents lang ang bayad sa PTC. if you like to try, paki-refer ka naman ng anak ko who’s doing PTCs while on vacation.

makukuha mo lang ang pera thru Paypal o Alertpay after reaching a minimum no. of $. meron ding case na pag nalugi yong PTC, kahit nagbabayad dati ay magsasara nang walang pasabi. usually ito yong mga mataas ang bayad sa simula.
Parang na-curious lang ako sa nabasa ko sa Inquirer na yong si Rosel Penas, sister-in-law of Pilar Pilapil’s husband, Bernie Peñas, na na-charge ng frustrated murder and kidnapping, ay tumira since Nov 8, 2010 sa ALQ Dorm, accdg. to the dorm’s landlady Socorro Milagros Alcancia.

Hi Ephraim, wow, thank you very much for contributing. Idagdag ko yong info mo sa taas — sa post — kasi yong iba minsan no time magbasa ng comments, or minsan, sa dulo lang. Thanks again.
Hi Clyde, thanks for the info. check ko nga panda, kaya lang parang malayo na. but if the price is ok, puede na rin.
welcome po maam
happy mothers day to you
Wow! Thanks Ephraim. Am so touched. You’re a good son.
no problem maam
hi, good day! ask po ako if you can suggest a dorm/unit (ladies) near san beda =)thanks!
Hi Maria, yong sa mga nakita namin noon, yong sa Glorietta de Manila at Finest Legacy Suites ay okay. Pero, search ka pa baka may mga bago na. Search ka sa sulit.com.ph.
thanks for the reply. i will search din sa net.your blog is a great help especially that i’m from davao and know little about the area
Okay, Maria. Maganda rin kung i-familiarize mo yong area thru map. I-type mo lang yong San Beda College Manila sa Google, then i-click mo yong mag-apir na small map para lumaki. Ang maganda sa Google map, puede mong igalaw-galaw. Take care and best regards.
hi.thanks for dis good post. tanong ko lang po kung me alam kayo na room for rent good for 1. ung me private cr po sana. reviewee po for 6months near feu or ue po sana.price range 3k-3.5k/month.. thanks po in advance..
Hi Derick, based sa latest rates ng dorms (my daughter and her friend looked for dorms yesterday in that area), parang bihira na ang ganyang rate na ikaw lang mag-isa. Yong 3-4K na rate, mostly sa 4-per-room na. Sabi ng anak ko, yong mga gusto nila na ok at affordable, puno na raw. Yong kay Manny Pacquiao — the MP Towers — yong sa may dulo nong street between McDo and KFC, 5.5k daw per person (in a 3-person room). Another thing is reviewee ka pa, many dorms prefer long-term renters. Check mo kaya yong Metrodorm. if you like the place, talk na lang with the admin so you’ll stay in a room na for-two para within your budget, pero ikaw lang, kasi hindi naman puno doon dahil it’s one ride to FEU. CR is not a problem because there are lots, and they’re new. Sabagay, it’s the girl’s floor that we saw, hindi ko sure sa men’s floor.
hi! yes po, ginagamit ko yung google map to familiarize the streets around. thanks again. god bless!
Hi Maria, that’s nice to know. You’re a smart student. Resourceful.
gudeve po, magkano po ba ngaun ang tuition fee ng ust sa bsba at business management? tnx po
Hi boyboy, may sagot ako kay boy dito sa http://www.workingpinoy.com/2010/11/tuition-fees-at-feu-and-some-other-universities-in-manila-philippines/
ahm,thanks for the info po. hehe…Godbless po =D. sobra pong nakatulong itong site na to, lalo na po kau Mrs. Nors, Salamat po tlaga ng marami =D,
hello po,first time ko po pumumta nang maynila for my review and coming board exam this june.nag hanap po ako nag dorm malapit lng sa JPT review center.
hello guys. im a student of ust. naghahanap din ako ng dorm ko for this coming academic year. kaso puro kayo babae. haha. so di tyo pde mgkasama sa room. unless na meron sa inyong hindi maselan. kase gagawin ko lang nman tulugan and bathroom ung dorm. so most of the time kayo lang ung tao dun. i also have a work. so kung meron sa inyo interested ok ako. naghahanap kase ako ng kasama sa dorm. may nahanap na ako na place kaso di ko afford ng magisa. working student lang po ako. so tita nors. baka po may alam kayo na mas mura for me. or kung meron mkaka basa neto na gusto sumama sa akin sa dorm. ok alng. please help me.
Hi bluerisk. may sense of humor ka, like it. kaya lang, harmless ka ba? o blue risk? hehehe. oo, maraming naghahanap dito. mas maganda minsan kasama ang babae, kasi most of them, masinop at naglilinis (although marami ring lazy), kaya lang hazardous. Mga boys, check bluerisk’s offer, baka maganda yong nakita niyang room.
Baka puede na sa iyo yong for boys ng KFFI. ok naman yong sa girls (yon yong nakita ko), maraming common bathrooms and toilets, malinis pa, altho old yong building.
Dahil working ka, kelangan mo lang yong may steel locker at ok yong bed. mas ok na common bathroom sa iyo (pero dapat yong maraming cubicles at yong may naglilinis), para di mo na intindihin ang maglinis. May private bathroom ka nga, nakakasira lang ng araw pag ang kasama mo hindi mahilig maglinis. Yong common bathrooms, may tagalinis. Check mo rin yong citidorm. Share mo dito pag may makita kang very ok ha, and thanks.
Hi, Alvin, check mo kaya yong citidorm o pacific pod. karamihan kasing dorms, gusto nila yong regular student. pero marami pa rin diyang accepting reviewees. check ka sa sulit.com.ph. o puedeng makitulog ka muna sa relative, habang naghahanap ka ng rental.
naghahanap din ako ng magandang dorm!. kaya lang parang nakakailang tumira kasama ang mga strangers. okay ba sa metrodorm recto?. ganda kasi nung sa pasig. @bluerisk. – san ka naka dorm?

might help. sana gawing mandatory ang paggawa ng site ng mga dorms
Thanks a lot, Justin, for the list of additional dorms. Masasanay ka rin to live with strangers. Observe ka lang, be flexible, be easy to get along with, but at the same time, see to it that your rights are not crushed (kasi minsan may mga bully din sa dorms). Pero, most often, everyone tries to be good/friendly, I think.
ano po kayang co-ed ang pinaka-cozy in your opinion?.
metrodorm, pacific pod, quince or citidorm?.kasi im planning yung aircondition eh ung quince and citidorm inclusive na aircon. Thank you uli.
Hi justin, meron pa sigurong mas cozy na co-ed dorm, compared sa mga dorms na na-list dito. Parang ang dami nang bagong buildings. yong citidorm, puede na sa palagay ko, kasi may wi-fi pa at andiyan lang sa univ belt. at saka parang ang daming common bathrooms (sa girls yong nakita namin). kung ok sa yo ang mag-commute, puede na rin yong metrodorm.
thank you. ill try to check citidorm out. advantage din kasi yung free wifi and walking distance lang from UE. pero parang maganda sa metro kasi may cabinet and study table malayo lang.
hi i’d like to know if there are still available units in casa adilina?
hi JHANE =)) sorry. tagal ko nkpg open ^^
nkahanap kna ng dorm?
Hello! I’ve been browsing the net for the whole day looking for a dormitory, and this blog came up and it’s very very extremely helpful! I salute you for being such a supportive mom like that! Long walks with a weather and pollution like the Philippines is not easy, plus the terrible calculations and considerations and lots of comparing that goes in your mind while searching makes it even harder! Your effort is very much appreciated, I even shared the link to my friends!
Two of my main concerns in finding the most appropriate place, is the rate and the security not just of the place but as well as security to those whom you’ll live with. From the list you’ve given I’ve been considering the first two the KFFI and Glorietta de Manila, and also the Quince and Citidorm sounds appealing as well because of the WIFI offer (you know students like me is badly in need of the internet-but no so so because I spend most of my time in school). I would just like to ask, since you’ve seen these places, which would you likely be recommending for a student who almost spends time in the school and would like to study still when she gets home (quiet environment with preferably student co-dormers?).
Thanks for the post again and additional thanks if you could give me some advice as well. Just final words, the one offered to your daughter of her friends for 1,400 is I think the best deal ever. It’s safe because she knows whom she’ll be with, comfortable probably yes, and very accessible. If your daughter’s friends is finding a girl who could fill in the place of the person who backed out, I’ll be very much happy to fill in!
Hi, Jaja, wow, for a young person, you write so well you can even start your own blog. Or perhaps you have your own blog already? I hope there are still rooms available for you. Two weeks ago, my daughter and her friends looked for dorms again (they wanted to transfer), and all the dorms they liked are either full or very far. They’re now considering a dorm where they have to commute because they could no longer find a vacant space in the University Belt that they like. Check out also the dorms advertised on sulit.com.ph, as the ads there are more updated. Hope you find a secure, peaceful and affordable dorm.
hi! thank you for this blog site, it’s really helpful… ALQ was the best in 3 dorms i saw. The dormitory features safety and convenience…
unlike on the other dorms that you will be the one to bring your bed & mattress, tables and others because only 1 cabinet was the only thing inside the room…
ALQ is highly recommended dormitory for me… Thank you…
per head po ba ung ALQ dorm?taz mgkano po?
free na dn po ba ung tubig at kuryente?may mga gmit na dn po ba like utensils at refrigerator?balak ko po kcng mg inquire
Hi sharmaine, 3,500 per month yong average sa ALQ noong April 2011, not sure kung ganon pa rin ngayon. tawagan mo na lang. based sa karamihan ng dorms na kagaya ng ALQ, yong kuryente, usually additional pa yon, divided among the occupants of the room. yong iba kasama na ang water, iba additional pa rin. Usually, sa iyo ang utensils. yong iba merong common ref, di ko alam sa ALQ. call na lang.

Well, Iam feeling good today that’s why I spent alot of time online to reward myself, and read the thread of comments, and then took the time to search for some info about mp building clyde has been talking about. I actually already found a place to stay in, 5 mts. walk away from my school at Lyceum, Intramuros. Though it is already a very good deal in terms of price for 1,750/month inclusive of all bills for a spacious room good for four (but actually only me and my friend shares the room, that’ll make us two) without fan, furniture or cabinet and quite humid environment (well everything has its good and bad side, right?), but I actually find it tolerable, all we need is a fan anyway, plus we actually have a freedom to cook, do the laundry and iron our clothes (unlike any other dorms within intramuros) with a minimal additional charge.
But despite this I’m not keeping my doors closed, because I have spent roughly 3 days in there, and who knows I might find something unlikable one of these days (hehe, better have second options just to be secured).
So if any of you guys could share the details about this mp dormitory, because the facility looks really really good, I would be happy.
Thanks!
I am scounting for an aircon room good for 2 male occupants for the Nov.bar exam.,just a walking distance from UST.
Hi Lina, try checking MP Towers along Paquita St. This is owned by Manny Pacquiao. But I don’t know if they’re taking in short-term renters. Try calling those for men in the above post.
hi again ms. nors. pinapunta ko po iyong boyfriend ko sa mp towers last week. near daw po siya sa ust, prc, mcdo, jollibee. it is a 7-storey apartment building. wi-fi building. 1st floor – parkiing space & canteen, 2nd floor – fitness area, 3rd floor – conference room, 4th floor to 6th floor – dormitory, 7th floor – recreation area. 3 occupants per room, 5,500 per person inclusive of water only pero if you prefer to be alone, 16,500 ang room rate, inclusive of water din. ok po sana kaya lang super mahal kasi room po talaga ang hanap ko. mag ri-review po uli ako this november, sa tapat lang po ng psba manila. and hopefully makalipat na this october. better if kasama na ang food para aral na lang po gawin ko pagkagaling sa work/review hehe thanks alot po and more power. God bless po *_*
Nasa 4th year high school na po ako. gusto po ng mga magulang ko na mag Dorm ako pag nag college para daw po matuto ako. ask ko lang po kung nakakatakot po yung ganun kasi di po ako sanay na di ko kasama yung mga magulang ko e.
Hi Ann, thanks for sharing the rates at MP Towers. Yes, mahal na talaga ang dorms/rooms sa University Belt, lalo na kung gusto mo ikaw lang. Pero kung magtiyaga ang bf mo na maghanap near PSBA and around, meron siyang makikita. Yong iba kasi hindi nag-aadvertise sa Internet. At para matanong na niya agad kung tumatanggap sila ng reviewees. Yong anak ko na FEU student, she had to choose the PWU dorm behind PWU, kasi wala siyang makitang affordable na okay sa malapit sa FEU.
Hi Sarah, oo, at first mahirap. Madalas kang ma-homesick. Pero masasanay ka rin. Just find a dorm na safe, merong guard, okay yong mga manangs, at malapit sa school, para sulit ang bayad sa dorm, at wala nang extra transpo expenses. Puede ring mag-commute ka muna sa first sem, habang nag-aadjust ka sa college life, and then dorm na sa second sem.
kuya may dorm ba na pwede ang lalaki at babae sa isang kwarto? ung two person room? gus2 sana namen ng ate ko sa isang kwarto lng kme? meron po ba? kung meron po, alin po dyan ung pwd babae at lalaki sa isang kwarto
Hi Mavirick, bihira ang ganong dorm, kasi usually separate floor, o wing o building ang men and ladies. Puede ang ganyang set-up sa mga boarding houses at smaller rental facilities. Dito sa list dito, i-try nio yong Pacific Pod atop KFC. Maglakad-lakad at mag-explore kayo near your school, meron kayong makita. Yong iba kasi, hindi sila nag-aadvertise online.
Thank you po, FEU po kami pareho kaso seperate and dorm namen. This blog really helps. Thank you so much
Hi po! tanong ko lang po kung ano yung name ng dorm na tinirhan ng anak niyo, yung along espana po na 1400 lang ang share niya
thank you po
Hi Kate, hindi yon dorm, kundi parang studio unit na nasa harap ng isang house along Craig St. malapit sa Espana. Meron nang nagre-rent na iba. This sem, nag-dorm ang anak ko sa PWU dorm behind PWU, so nag-commute pa siya, pero wala kasi silang makita na near FEU na okay na hindi masyadong expensive. Yong PWU dorm, maganda, malaki ang rooms, malinis, 4 people in a room, drawers/cabinets, 2,800 a month per person. Pero this second sem, mag-commute na lang ang anak ko, kasi umuuwi rin palagi, nasasayang lang ang bayad sa dorm.
Hi!
Can u suggest a goo dorm near intramuros. I have 2 sons studying in Intramuros (one in Mapua and one in Letran). Aside from Madrigal dormitory, this is nice but they require long term and available rooms are good for 4 persons. I want a room that good for 2 persons only.
Hope you can help me.
thnx
Hi Ruby Rose, sorry pero hindi kasi diyang area yong sa anak ko, so hindi kami nakapunta diyan. I know yong friend ng anak ko studying at Lyceum, naglakad-lakad lang sila diyan sa neighborhoods behind the schools. Yes, even in other areas, bihira ang dorms na 2 per room, pero you can find naman siguro. Best regards.
Hello po. I am a student of FEU. Ask ko lang po if may alam kayong dorm/appartment near FEU na pang solo po. Yung hindi po sana tataas ng 5,000php or 5,500php. Pasensiya na po hindi ko po matiyagaang basahin comments, masakit po kasi sa mata. hehe. Malabo po mata ko eh.
Thank you sa info. naghahanap ako ng dorm na mura and here it is
Hello. I am planning on going to UST to take up Nursing. I am wondering if you could inform me about a decent dormitory near UST. Thank you
Hello Janet and Kristine, aside from the dorms described above, na puedeng puno na or merong vacancies pa, hindi na ako updated sa area. Ang alam ko, marami nang newer dorms there, so oks rin maglakad-lakad on flat footwear to explore the area. Yong dorm beside McDo and opposite KFC, baka may vacancy pa ron. Yong MP Tower ni Manny Paquiao along Paquita St, baka may vacancy pa.
Kung ok sa inyong magcommute, yong dorm ng PWU behind PWU, ok siya, wider rooms and cheaper — non-PWU students accepted.
Hi! Ive just finished reading and This blog really helps

Hi Joy: Thanks for the info.

Hello po. Yung GLORIETTA DE MANILA po ba mag kanu babayaran tlga? 2,200 po ba plus 2,140? Bale, 4340 po lahat? Gusto ko po kasi yung dorm na w/ aircon na and pwede magluto
thank you and yung malapit po sa FEU…
At malapit po ba yung GLORIETTA DE MANILA sa CEU or main FEU??or other dorm na w/ aircon
Hi kaiza, noong 2011 pa yong rates na yan, so malamang nagtaas na. 5k na siguro. Mas malapit siya sa FEU. Usually, hindi pinapayagan ang mga dorm residents na magluto kasi walang kitchen. Ang option mo, if you like to cook, is look for yong mga condo renters na students din o professionals na naghahanap ng kasama, pero you need to make sure na the same pa rin ang bayad mo halimbawa lang merong aalis sa mga ka-share sa condo unit.

Thanks sa blog na ito. meron po ba kayong alam na dorm na walking distance lang sa FEU and all girls lang? ung ay aircon, wifi connection,security guard 3k lang po kasi budget ko
Hi Chin, nagtataasan na kasi ang rates kaya bihira na ang 3k with your requirements. Yong aircon dorms sa article, call them na lang kung meron pang vacancy.
Hi po Mommy Nors.
Transferee po ako sa FEU. Ask ko lang po kung yung MP Towers po ba ay walking distance lang from FEU? COED po ba sya? Separate floors? i spent the whole day yesterday para maghanap ng dorm. And mostly po sa mga nakita ko na dorm along FEU ay madudumi, parang mga motel. Ganun po. So gusto po sana ng mom ko ay yung malinis, with aircon at hindi naman super maliit yung rooms. i’ve looked for MP Towers sa net and nagustuhan ko po siya. Kaya lang po, di namin alam kung COED siya at kung malapit lang ba. Ayun po. Thanks po for this blog. Binasa ko po lahat ng comments and ang dami kong nalaman. Hehe. 
Hi Mimi, yes, coed siya when I wrote the article, siguro ganon pa rin this year. Walking distance naman, although depende sa iyo kung mahilig ka sa walking. Dulo kasi siya ng Paquita, coming from Espana. Yong dorm beside McDo, mukhang okay rin yon, pero baka puno na. Baka yong MP Towers, puno na rin. Pero check mo pa rin. Magtingin ka rin sa streets infront of UST, merong mga bagong condos/dorms diyan when we were looking. Thanks for reading this blog. Ang have a great time at FEU!
Hi. Thanks for this blog. Tanong ko lang, ano ang ma-suggest mong dorm for me and my best friend? We plan kasi to review on PRTC pero wala pa kaming napiling dorm to stay. Good for 2 yung room, airconditioned at malapit lang sa review center namin. Magkano po kaya ang aabutin nyan?
I do hope makatulong po kayo.. Maraming salamat.
Hi Maj, kalimitan kasi ng dorms na pinuntahan namin dati ay for college students. Itong CITIDORM, building ito, so baka they accept reviewees. Marami nang bagong dorms dian sa University belt, at usually condo style na, so puede kayong mag-ikot diyan early morning, para hindi pa masyadong mainit. Puede ring you surf muna sa Internet, bago lakad para meron na kayong list to start with.
thank you for the advice. mga magkano nga pala yung price range? yung room for 2 na airconditioned. kasali na ba dyan electric at water?
thanks again.
hi maj, nakahanap kana ng dorm?my sis is also looking for a dorm, shes also a reviewee.
Nor, hi, meron ka alam na dorm near R. Papa st.?
