   Hi, i think AMA university and other branches is really good in misinforming their “customers” i mean their students about the price of their tuition fee. Don’t even believe the ladderized programs, cause their good only for AMA branches and you couldn’t use them to other schools (not certified by CHED). Their semestral fee actually cost about 30k for regular full load students. Sometimes bill gets larger when they increase the miscellaneous fee and you can’t do anything about it once you had your money on their hands. The most annoying part, once you drop out from their school they keep on calling you about the the “extended” deadline of their enrollment which is actually more than a month late from the said enrollment deadline. That’s the other way of saying “We need your money and we won’t care for you once the money land on our hands”. Imagine one trimester is only less than 4 months long, minus the programs, fund-raisings and power outages i experienced 3 times in just one trimester. I don’t want anyone to experience one of these considering how big the money robbed from you.

   Hi AMA dropout, thanks a lot for sharing your experiences. Your info will help others. wish you the best

6. Nors on February 10th, 2013 8:17 am

   Hi Cy, you’re near New Era and PUP QC, so you can choose between these two. If you have not yet taken college credits and you have a high school average of 82% or higher, you can apply to take the PUPCET. Apply online. http://universitiescollegesphilippines.blogspot.com/2013/02/pup-quezon-city-courses.html

   Good day!

   Tanong ko lang po san mas maganda BS Civil Engineering sa TIP Cubao or sa New Era University? thanks..

9. Christian on February 12th, 2013 2:48 pm

   Good afternoon po. Ako po yung nag tatanong dati ng mga school para sa mga gustong mag accountancy. Naka pag inquire po ako sa TIP Manila sa may Quiapo. 745 Per unit sila at ang misc. fee ay between 5k-6k daw po. Ang schoolarship nila ay 1.25 GWA – 100% Discount. 1.5- 75% discount at 1.75- 50% discount. Thanks sana makatulong

10. Nors on February 12th, 2013 4:55 pm

    Hi Aaron, ito ang PRC ranking in 2011, hindi pa ako naka-update. Sa New Era na lang siguro, or TIP Manila. Or kung saan yong mas malapit sa iyo. http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/search/label/civil%20engineering%20schools%20in%20the%20Philippines

12. Zaira on February 15th, 2013 9:22 pm

    Hello po. Saan po bang school ang mura maliban sa PUP at UDM? Yung Less than 10,000 yung Tuition fee. Salamat.

13. Nors on February 16th, 2013 7:02 am

    Hi Zaira, TUP – tuition is almost 10k. RTU in Mandaluyong – about 5k, but not sure now. EARIST in Sta Mesa. PLM – for Manila residents only. UMAK – primarily for Makati residents, but I’m not sure if they’re still implementing their 12k pilot program, and not admitting freshmen yet. There are good government universities in the provinces.

14. harvey caballero on February 16th, 2013 1:27 pm

    Hello good day po madam nors..magpakilala po muna ako sa inyo. Ako po si Harvey 23 yrs old. Nag graduate po ako sa davao ng high school year 2007. Dahil sa Hindi po kaya ng parents na paaralin ako ng college. Ako po ay nakipagsapalaran sa manila para maghanap ng trabaho. Sa tita po ako nakituloy sa bacood sta mesa at sa universal robina Corp Rosario pasig po ako nagwork ng 2yrs.. Year 2011 po nag appy po ako ng CNC operator abroad at sa tulong ni god dito po ako ngaun sa Jeddah ksa sa binladin group of companies. Mag 2yrs ako ngayong may 2013. Gusto ko po umuwi ng pinas para mag Aral ng computer engineering or bsece. Ang tanong ko po saan ako pede na school kasi averages ko po nung highschool 80 po. Yong mura Lang po sana ang tuition para kayanin ko kc magrent pa po ako ng room pag mag aaral na ako.kc ung tita ko at asawa nya umuwi na po sila ng davao. Tsaka wala pa po ako idea sa mga projects kung magkano magastos ko in 5yrs course. Sa tingin nyo po 480k na ipon ko ngaun kasya po kaya un para makapagtapos ako ng college? Tsaka ano po mga requirements na kukunin ko para makapag college ako? Salamat po sa answer madam nors..godblss po:)

15. Nors on February 16th, 2013 5:09 pm

    Hi harvey, congrats for being determined to reach your goals. You’re on the right road and direction. It’s great that you’re also honoring God for His blessings.
    PUP in Sta Mesa would have been great, but you’re already late for the admission test. And I think their minimum average grade is 82%. Don’t be discouraged, as there’s still TUP Manila, near the city hall and SM Manila. 80% is their minimum. The last entrance exam schedule is May 11. Go to tup.edu.ph and research further. The tuition fee here is only about 10k, and the quality of training is good. TUP has been achieving high ratings in board exams recently. Ask your family to prepare your high school papers, so you can beat the application deadline.
    I suggest that you immediately put about 90% of your money in auto-renewal 6-month time deposit in BPI Family or BDO, so you can control the flow. That almost half million pesos can go down the drain quickly here in the Philippines if you’re not careful. If you’re very generous and very kind, that money can disappear like a flash. God bless din. will give you the link for the requirements later

16. Nors on February 16th, 2013 6:20 pm

    Hi Harvey, here’s the link:
    http://universitiescollegesphilippines.blogspot.com/2011/04/tup-courses-technological-university-of.html?showComment=1361009892592#c8254827295624202812
    The facilities of TUP are of course inferior to the facilities of private universities that charge more than 45k per sem. But the quality of teaching is certainly not inferior.

17. AMADROPOUT II jeiiem on February 17th, 2013 1:37 am

    hi AMA dropout !! we had the same situation. . even the profs there in AMA knows that .

    in AMA if you’ve paid partially for the upcoming exam they will increase your left balances. D:

    . my MOM never knew that, so she kept on blaming my church activities that it was the reason why we haven’t paid my existing balance and why i haven’t enrolled.

18. harvey caballero on February 19th, 2013 11:39 am

    hi!! ms nors im mau ask ko lang how much po tuition sa lasalle dasma for hrm po sang school din po ba maganda mag take ng hrm? cavite area po nktra sa molino,laspinas is okay din po sakin to travel any suggestions po godbless

21. valderama on February 20th, 2013 8:23 pm

    and sa lyceum cavite po salamat

22. Nors on February 20th, 2013 10:06 pm

    Hi James, many schools accept transferees. Are your grades high? Inquire at TUP if you’re eligible for transfer. Tuition fees at TUP are only about 10k per sem. http://universitiescollegesphilippines.blogspot.com/2012/09/transfer-to-tup.html Private schools that offer lower fees are University of Mla (less than 20k), Fatima, PCU, TIP, JRU (between 20k and 30k). New Era also, if you can get a recommendation Ask others also

23. Nors on February 21st, 2013 12:27 am

    Hi valderama, forums say it’s 40k+ per trisem in LaSalle Dasma. Other courses — 60k+. Lyceum Manila has Bayleaf Hotel where students train. Not sure if Lyceum Cavite students also have their OJT there. If it’s more affordable at Lyceum Cavite, and OJT is at Bayleaf, then I think Lyceum Cavite is a good option. It helps a lot if you live near your school. Travel takes so much time and saps strength.

24. Gemma jane soguilon on February 23rd, 2013 10:23 pm

    Hi po good evening,tanong ko lang po saan pa po ba pwede magaaral within muntinlupa.?hindi kasi ako natanggap sa pamantasan ng muntinlupa kasi wala po akong voters id.maliban po sa lyceum alabang may iba pa po ba?yong kaya po ang tuition fee.working student po kasi ako.now po ako magtatapos ng high school..tnx po sana matulongan nyo ako.God bless!

25. Nors on February 24th, 2013 7:37 am

    Hi Gemma, you’re younger than 18, so you can’t get a voter’s ID. Have you gone to Comelec, 2nd floor, Public Market, Alabang, and ask if your parents can still register? Bring Meralco bills, etc to prove that you live in Muntinlupa. Some schools are San Beda, Informatics, West Bay, Perpetual Help Alabang Zapote Road. You can try PUP San Pedro (deadline of payment for entrance exam is March 15) — even if you spend for fares, I think the tuition fee is less than 1k. http://www.pup.edu.ph/iApply/Procedure.aspx There’s also TUP Taguig. Tuition fees range from 8k to 9,900. Last entrance test is first week of May. Hope you can comment here again where you applied and passed.

26. Alex Rabino on February 24th, 2013 6:34 pm

    Magkano po ang whole tuition fee per sem sa College of Education?

27. Jonathan on February 24th, 2013 7:57 pm

    Hello I’m jonathan,i’m just being curious if the FEU is requires the High school average grade?? UP and la salle too. I haven’t any idea about it please do response. thanks in advance! god bless!

28. Jonathan on February 24th, 2013 8:00 pm

    Hello I’m jonathan, I’m just being curious if the FEU is requires the High school average grade? UP and De la Salle College of St. Benilde too. I haven’t any idea about it please do response. Thanks in advance! God bless!

29. gina on February 25th, 2013 4:15 am

    hi! your blog is very helpful. i’m a mother of an incoming college freshman and i learned a lot from this site. i’m a working mom so i can’t always attend to the needs of my son. i am so disappointed that almost all of the schools he’s interested in are closed for admission…so now we are cramming to beat the deadlines for application of the remaining ones. also, i had no idea the tuition fees are so expensive! i was quite shocked at Mapua’s fees per sem x 4! the first year alone totals more than 120k! i just hope they give value for the students’ money…

30. Nors on February 25th, 2013 7:17 am

    Hi Gina, TUP is still open; I hope your son can find a course that he likes there. TUP’s tuition fee is less than 10k per sem. Because of the low tuition, TUP’s facilities are not as good as expensive private schools, but TUP has high passing rates in PRC exams, specially engineering and architecture. Other PUP locations are still open. Just go to the PUP website.
    Yes, you’re right, private schools’ fees are going thru the roof. Add to that daily allowances, books, projects, and endless “ma, bibili pa ako ng…” Thanks for appreciating my blog…and best regards

31. Nors on February 25th, 2013 7:46 am

    Hi Jonathan, FEU does not have a high school grade requirement. You just need to pass the entrance test. The same with UP, LaSalle and St Benilde — they don’t have high school grade requirements. For UP, the application deadline for the 2013-2014 school year was June 2012. If you want to study in LaSalle or St Benilde, make inquiries now, as they also have deadlines.

32. Nors on February 25th, 2013 7:47 am

    Hi Alex, college of education of what school? If you like education, and you’re conscious about fees, PNU Taft is a very good choice.

33. sammy on February 25th, 2013 11:49 am

    Hi Aside from PNU, what are other affordable but quality for college of education?

34. Nors on February 26th, 2013 1:17 am

    Hi sammy, other affordable education schools are state universities like UP, PUP, RTU and state universities in the provinces. For private universities, check the tuition fees of schools listed above; almost all offer education courses.

35. sammy on February 26th, 2013 6:55 am

    how about national teachers college? akala ko kasi teacher’s school talga eh haha?

36. Gina M. on February 26th, 2013 11:16 am

    Hi ms Nors, me and my husband were blessed by God to have the capacity to sponsor our helper’s son through college. He will enter as freshman this coming school year. I would like to ask if which school has a better program for BS InformationTechnology course? AMA or Fatima? and which one has a lesser tuition fee? Are there any other good IT school near novaliches? Thank you so much. Your blog is helping a lot of people. God bless you.

37. Gina M. on February 26th, 2013 11:49 am

    Hi ms Nors, its me again. Just to add, would TIP be better than AMA and Fatima? After reading the comments regarding Ama, we now are a little bit hesitant. What about STI? you didn’t include STI in your list above. Thank you again.

38. Haci on February 26th, 2013 2:12 pm

    Hi po ! Ms tanong ko lang po about sa APC school. Kapag ba public school ka gumraduate 50% discount? bali kalahati po ng tuition fee yung babayaran nyo doon? Ask lang po. Pls. ASAP kailangan ko na po talaga kasi mag-inquire ehh salamat

39. Haci on February 26th, 2013 2:24 pm

    at lalabas na magkano?

40. Nors on February 26th, 2013 7:23 pm

    Hi Gina, it’s great to know that you have the heart to help. God will continue to pour blessings on vessels that have spouts also pouring blessings to others.
    Have you explored PUP Commonwealth/Don Fabian? BS IT is offered there. Application deadline for this branch is April 2 (pup.edu.ph). The big savings from tuition at PUP can be used for fares and supplies. How about New Era? It offers Computer Science. They say one can get a discount if one can get a recommendation from a member. But I think even without the discount, the fees are still more affordable than those of AMA and STI. TIP Mla is good, but it’s too far. Thanks for appreciating my blog. God bless too. I pray that child will value this rare opportunity you’re giving him, and that he’ll be able to lift up his current and future family.

41. Nors on February 26th, 2013 7:43 pm

    Hi sammy, yes, NTC and University of Manila are also okay, and their fees are more affordable. TUP offers Industrial Education and Technical Teacher Education. In the Sep 2012 secondary teacher licensure exam, these are the passing rates, although these rates are not the only basis for quality. NTC: 85 passers out of 187 examinees = 45.45% , Univ of Manila: 8 out of 19 = 42.11% , EARIST: 94 out of 256 = 36.72%,
    TUP: 136 out of 252 53.97%, PNU: 673 out of 724 = 92.96% , Unibersidad de Manila (free if Manila resident/voter): 72 out of 126 = 57.14%
    Actually, you can excel in any school, as long as you supplement your campus studies with self-learning online and offline. best regards

42. sammy on February 26th, 2013 10:13 pm

    Pede pala magtake ng Licensure sa TUP kahit hindi Secondary Educ yung course? Gusto ko din doon kaso wala major in english or filipino, panay technical at industrial lang po

43. Marki on February 26th, 2013 10:56 pm

    Hi Nors. I’d like to commend this blog. Very informative! But I got a question, Are there any highschool grade requirements for freshmen applicants in PNU? If there are, what are those? Thanks Nors!

44. norman on February 27th, 2013 3:49 am

    good morning madamme, ask ko lang po saang school ang nag offer ng mass communication na very affordable lang po ang tuition fee. and pwede for evening classes.. i am planning to be a working student.. i have to work in the day to sustain my needs in school then have studies at night.
    salamat po.

45. Nors on February 27th, 2013 6:08 am

    Hi Haci, yes, 50% of the tuition fee sa APC, pero you will be required to maintain a certain grade. 50% would be about 20k or 20k+. Submit only xerox of documents (show originals) to apply for admission.

46. Nors on February 27th, 2013 8:02 am

    Hi Marki, PNU requires that an applicant should not have a grade lower than 80% in all his/her subjects in 4th year high school. Thanks for appreciating my blog. best regards

47. Nors on February 27th, 2013 8:14 am

    Hi Norman, sad to say, we don’t have yet schools that offer evening classes up to 11 or midnight. I think the latest schedule is up to 9:30 pm. Some computer learning centers have schedules up to 10 pm.
    So you will have to complete your course for several years. But keep it up. You’ll get there. I always have special admiration for working students. Some schools also require a minimum no. of units per sem. Someone commented here that he’s a working student and he’s doing okay at PCU, in terms of tuition and schedule. I suggest you choose from among schools near your house or work, because you need to avoid traffic and save time. And then check if they have skeds from 6pm to 9pm, and if they’re ok with few units per sem. best regards

48. Rich on February 27th, 2013 11:31 am

    Hi po . Any suggestion sa school na pwedeng pasukan para sa tourism po yung medyo po mura? Thanks in advance sa sasagot .

52. Haci on February 28th, 2013 7:53 pm

    ahhh so ms. tingin nyo po makakamura po ako sa APC kung 50% discount meron? Hmmm.

53. Nors on March 1st, 2013 3:47 pm

    Hi jay-r, I would have suggested PUP QC, but their hs grade requirement is 82%. There’s BS CS at New Era; I heard their fees are affordable, specially if you can get a recommendation from a member of their church.

54. Nors on March 1st, 2013 3:50 pm

    Hi Lacorte, sorry, what is olopsc? Please call them.

55. Nors on March 1st, 2013 4:21 pm

    Hi Haci, yes, you’ll be paying only half of the tuition fee. But ask about miscellaneous fees when you go there. And the grade that you need to maintain.

56. angeline on March 1st, 2013 6:04 pm

    hi am angeline ask ko lang mag kano ang tuition fee sa feu po Hrm

58. aldrin on March 1st, 2013 11:27 pm

    Hello Ma’am Nors, napaka bait nyo po at very attending sa pagsagot ng mga questions. ask ko lang po sana kasi graduate po ako ng 2 year associate degree in IT sa ACLC. Gusto ko po sana ituloy ang studies ko sa ibang school due to bad experiences ko sa AMA education system. Papayag po kaya ang ibang school kung ipa-credit ko yung mga natake ko ng subjects (kahit yung mga minors lang)? macoconsider pa rin po kaya akong transferee since graduate na po ako sa previous course ko? I’m a working student and plan ko po pumasok sa TUP or TIP for Engineering course. Thanks in advance!

59. Nors on March 2nd, 2013 7:23 am

    Hi angeline, for 1st year 1st sem at FEU, it’s 45k. You can also try Lyceum, it has Bayleaf Hotel http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2013/02/lyceum-manila-hrm-school-with-hotel.html

60. Nors on March 2nd, 2013 7:31 am

    Hi aldrin, transferees at TUP are only offered associate-degree technology courses. At TIP Manila, I think you can have the minor subjects credited. For the other subjects, maybe they’ll give you certain conditions, such as completing your course there, etc. Here’s one transfer-to-TIP story, if you like to read: http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2012/06/why-i-chose-tip-for-my-quest-to-become.html

61. chris on March 2nd, 2013 7:02 pm

    Hi mam , I am supposedly a a graduating student this march but then I have left one subject which is Theology 4, I just wanna ask if there’s a school that offered this subject in this summer term.Thanks

    Hi mam , I am supposedly graduating this march but then I have left one subject which is Theology 4, I just wanna ask if there’s a school that offers this subject in this coming summer term.Thanks

63. Nors on March 2nd, 2013 11:38 pm

    Hi chris, you have to call schools because they change schedules every summer. Try calling PCU Manila.

67. Nors on March 3rd, 2013 9:57 am

    Hi Nica, at TUP, your high school grades in Math, Science and English should be at least 80%. Check also RTU, if you like. Here are good architecture schools: http://universitiescollegesphilippines.blogspot.com/2012/05/top-architecture-schools-in-philippines.html

    hi i’m laila po graduating po ng highschool.. march na po ndi pa ako nakapagdedesisyon kung saan tlga ako mag aaral ng college nakapag exam na po ako sa CEU for med.tech but it is sad to say na hindi ako nakapasa.. nanghinayan tlga ako kasi malapit lng samin un CEU makati..so hindi na ako mahirapan pa magcommute pero un nga sa result ng exam ko.. sa ngaun.. nahihirapan ako mag isip kung saan ako pwede at malapit lng ksi taga Taguig po kami eh at yung kaya ng parents ko for the tuition.. so i need an advice po! thanks!

69. Nors on March 4th, 2013 4:56 am

    Hi laila, is med-tech your only choice? The other med-tech schools are farther away, such as UST, FEU, EAC Manila. I think EAC has the more affordable fees. Here are good med-tech schools — http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2012/08/top-medical-technology-schools-march.html
    If access to school and tuition fees are big factors, you can choose from the courses offered by PUP Taguig and TUP Taguig.

    Hi bhelle, to be able to take the UDM entrance test, you need to have been born in Manila, your father or mother must be a Manila voter, and you must have studied in a public high school in Manila. I think admission is still open. No tuition fee. Free. best regards.

74. bhelle on March 5th, 2013 4:29 pm

    thanks for the respond

75. Onhyx on March 5th, 2013 10:20 pm

    Hi po, aside po ba sa PUP main san po yung branch na maganda.

76. Onhyx on March 5th, 2013 10:22 pm

    Hi po ask ko din po anong school po ba yung best para sa kursong Business administration?

77. sarah on March 6th, 2013 12:49 am

    hi ask ko lang po how much tuition fee sa national teachers college?

78. Nors on March 6th, 2013 9:20 am

    Hi Onhyx, the best would be the branch nearest your residence. You’ll save a lot of time and money, so you can use these savings to enhance your studies.

    As much as I would not want to share this, but for the sake of those who are earning hard just to get quality and best college experience for their child/children/themselves, I will do so.

    If you or your child or anyone you know is planning to take up Accountancy or any business-related program, DO NOT, and I say, DO NOT EVER attempt to enter TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF THE PHILIPPINES especially Manila campus if you do not want to regret it for the rest of your life. I got stuck and I just didn’t have a choice that’s why I transferred there last year.
    90% of their faculty member is the worst I’ve ever experienced. And the school itself is the worst school I’ve ever entered. Malas ko lang at name ng school na yan ang mailalagay sa curriculum vitae ko!!

    If you do not want to believe in me, ask some people you might know who are under the hell COLLEGE OF BUSINESS EDUCATION.

    Whenever I and my classmates,who were in that school since their freshman year, talk about the school, puro galit, pagka-suklam, at pagsisi ang nararamdaman namin.

    Take it from me! Choose the right school for your or your parent’s hard-earned money!

    Pero if you are after a “diploma mill” kind of school, then go ahead and enroll there! Good luck na lang sa future mo!

80. Nors on March 7th, 2013 7:13 pm

    Hello regretful.one.whey, it makes me very sad to come to know of your experience, knowing that you were very enthusiastic about TIP last year. It’s really a letdown. I was even about to email you that your TIP story has garnered nearly a thousand unique views. I hope those who were encouraged to enroll at TIP will have a better experience. I wish I’m a bit correct if I assume that the weaknesses of the school are highlighted because you’ve experienced how it is at admu. I’m puzzled you’re concerned about the name of that school appearing in your CV; so you mean you’ll complete your course there despite all you’ve said? best regards

83. regretful.one.whey on March 8th, 2013 7:00 am

    A letdown indeed. Well, I was only referring to the COLLEGE OF BUSINESS EDUCATION (CBE). Their IT and Engineering, and I guess, Marine programs are decent enough. Haven’t heard anything bad about them (yet?). I’ve never compared my experience in TIP with that of ADMU because first and foremost, THEY’RE INCOMPARABLE. And I even realized its neither incommensurable with my HAU experience. Their CBE is just really d@mn bad. If it was just based from my own experience, then why would these classmates of mine who were there since their freshman year complain about the same things I am complaining of? Their CBE is really horrible! Most of the profs there feel that they’re smart but their English command cannot even justify who they think they are. Neither do they show mastery and expertise in the subject/s they teach. Though there are few, as in few good profs, they’re still way outnumbered by the “rotten tomatoes”. I was able to get a partial scholarship due to good grades I’ve obtained during the 1st semester of this Academic Year (without me exerting much efforts, how’s that?) and I thank them for that- but just because I’ve enjoyed a partial scholarship (which, by the way was due to my own performance) doesn’t mean I will hold my peace in letting others know of the truth about TIP’s CBE and even TIP student services in general. And again, I suggest people to go and ask students who are currently enrolled in CBE to prove you my credibility.
    About the program completion, yes! And I meant “unfortunately yes!” I’ve garnered more than enough credits from my previous schools so much that all I needed was 42 units from them to earn a degree (BSBA-FMA). I’d thank them for that, but I am still totally not happy with the experience. I’m moving to a well decent school next year (as a 2nd courser) to pursue BSA which would at least hide that TIP name in my record.
    Again, I am not happy I’m doing this but I have to. It’s for the benefit of the many especially those who want quality education for their hard-earned money.
    God bless us all!

84. Nors on March 8th, 2013 9:31 pm

    Hi Jann, where are you working? or where do you live? It’s best to choose the school nearest where you work or live to save time and energy. Here are the top sanitary engineering schools: http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2013/03/top-sanitary-engineering-schools-Philippines.html Except the Batangas university, all the other schools are private schools. The state universities TUP, RTU and PUP are good engineering schools (I excluded UP because the UPCAT for 2013-2014 was already held.) They don’t offer sanitary engineering, but they offer civil engineering. I checked the PRC website, and I saw that you can take the sanitary engineering exam if you’re a civil engineering graduate. Try also EARIST; this is also a state school. Inquire if these schools have minimum no. of units to take per sem, and if they have schedules up to 930 or 10 pm. Keep pursuing your dream…

85. jennie mae on March 8th, 2013 9:46 pm

    hi im jennie mae tanung lang kung magkano ngayon sa mapua ng BS architect ? tnx a lot . for freshmen po .

86. Gayle on March 8th, 2013 10:10 pm

    Hi Ms. Nors, in what sch. po ba okay and mgnda kumuha ng B.S Psychology course? sa Arellano University okay po ba dun?

87. lester on March 8th, 2013 11:56 pm

    hello ms.nors! i am 20 years old and trying to pursue my studies. the problem is nawala ko yung high school records ko. pano ako makakakuha ulit nun? and what are the courses offered in UE manila? thanks in advance.

88. Nors on March 9th, 2013 8:59 am

    Hi jennie, it was 32k for 1st quarter for freshmen, in the school year 2011-2012, so it could be about 35k now. Mapua runs 4 quarterms in a year.

89. Nors on March 9th, 2013 9:13 am

    Hi Gayle, yes, Arellano is good too. Here are some schools you can consider: http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2012/03/top-guidance-counseling-schools-in.html

90. Nors on March 9th, 2013 10:37 am

    Hi lester, go to your high school, and request for your records. Most often, you pay for these records. UE Manila courses —

91. jennie mae on March 9th, 2013 2:45 pm

    hello im jennie .ask ko lng kung mag kano BS architecture s TIP for freshmen ? tnx a lot .

92. niko on March 9th, 2013 5:33 pm

    Ano po School ang best for Business Administration?

93. wendy on March 9th, 2013 5:56 pm

    good evening! I got the same problem like the others. I accidentally left my high school records in a bus. will they let me enroll even if I dont have them? and what are the best school that offer legal management? except UP, UST, ADMU and DLSU. . thanks Ms. nors.

94. Gayle on March 10th, 2013 12:34 am

    Thank you Ms. Nors I’m having a hard time po kasi para mag isip kung san mgnda pumasok na school na hnd ko po pagsisihan kasi pang 3rd na course ko na po ito na kukunin yung Psychology. So kailangan po maingat na this time. wala na po ba kayo ibang maisusuggest po? Thanks a lot!

95. Lhyka on March 10th, 2013 6:33 pm

    Pwede pa po ba mag test sa TUP ? Hanggang kelan na lang po ?

96. Nors on March 10th, 2013 8:36 pm

    Hi regretful.one.whey, I hope you comment again later about where you’ve enrolled for your BSA. It will help others looking for alternatives. I hope these teachers you mentioned get that push to improve. I wish some people from TIP read your comments, and be reflective about them, and not feel negative. You’re right, students should be getting their hard-earned money’s worth. School administrators should allocate more resources to the development of their teachers.

97. Nors on March 10th, 2013 8:48 pm

    Hi wendy, sorry, schools will not let you enroll without your high school records. There are schools where they allow you to take the entrance exam even without records, but they will require your high schools upon enrollment. The other good law schools are San Beda, FEU Makati, Arellano University and University of Perpetual Help Rizal.

98. Nors on March 10th, 2013 8:56 pm

    Hi Lhyka, yes, TUP is still open. It’s open until first week of May, but you should take your exam asap.

99. Nors on March 10th, 2013 10:27 pm

    Hi niko, the best schools would be UP, Ateneo, La Salle, UST, University of Asia & the Pacific. You can choose from schools which are good in accountancy — http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2012/05/top-50-accounting-schools-in.html

100. Nors on March 10th, 2013 10:33 pm

     Hi jennie, baka umabot na sa 30k per sem. Less than 30k last year.

101. wendy on March 11th, 2013 7:06 pm

     my high school wanted me to acquire a request so that I can get a copy of my records. I dont know how to get the request, the new office lady did not even tell me how. can I ask how to get the request? thank you.

102. Nors on March 12th, 2013 8:08 am

     Hi wendy, I’m puzzled why your high school need a request when you’re the one requesting for your own record.
     However, I think they do this (ask you to get a request from your college) if you’re already past your freshman year, or if you have requested your records so many times before.
     Or was she asking you to write your own letter of request? Is your high school very far so you can ask again? You can ask a high school teacher in your neighborhood.

     hi i’m Luigi. nalilito po ksi ako kng anu magandang school sa dalawa, in terms of time ng schedule at budget, tup taguig(10k?) o pup taguig(1k-2k) para ma continue ko ng bs ece/elex. pag ksi tup taguig, ang offer nila sched ay evening 5pm to 9pm. ung pup po, nd ko po alam. baka po ksi magulo ung sched nila( anu po sa tinging niu tym ng pasok dun?). prefer ko po ung pang umaga pasok sa skul tapos panggabi sa work.graduate po ako ng bt ecet sa tup manila. hindi ko po din alam kng nagoffer sila ng parehas ng summer classes. . sa ngaun po eto muna po katanungan ko .. salamat po

105. lui on March 12th, 2013 1:30 pm

     tsaka po pala kung may idea po kau about summer class sa tup taguig kung how much? sa pagkakaalam ko po binabayaran ung prof. nd ko lang po alam kng magkano un. gusto ko po din kasi pabilisin ung pag aaral ko po ksi . may narinig po ksi ako na maglalagay pa sila ng 8 subjects . aaabutin na po ako nun ng 4yrs.. sa pup taguig po naman wala po ako idea kng ok ung schedule nila tska kng madali lng matapos ung bs ece..

106. lui on March 12th, 2013 1:59 pm

     hi po ulit . tanong ko po pla din eto ma’am kung ano magandang skul para computer engineering. rtu lng po alam ko. low tuition lng po sana . budget ko lng po ksi below 9k lng. thanks a lot again

107. Nors on March 12th, 2013 2:49 pm

     Hi lui, you’ve already mentioned schools that offer quality education despite charging low tuition fees — PUP, TUP and RTU. Aside from UP and certain state universities in the provinces, I think these are the only schools that charge low fees. Sorry, I’m no longer updated with the scheduling system of these schools. Tuition-wise, PUP would be good; I hope you have an average grade of 2 or higher. But for easier admission and crediting of all the subjects you’ve completed, I think TUP would be good as you’ll just go up TUP’s ladderized system. I admire you for working while studying; wish you more success.

108. Nancy on March 13th, 2013 7:13 am

     Hi Ms. Nors. I’m Nancy. I would like to ask lng po kung ano cons and pros ng eteeap and what best quality school offers this. may discrimination po ba pag eto yung kinuha? dahil kukunin ko lang siya ng within 1 yr compare naman po sa traditional school na may 3yrs po. may 3yrs work experience na po ako sa field ng semiconductor company.Thanks po

109. take ken on March 13th, 2013 12:14 pm

     Hello Madam Nors!Long live!Ur such a good person for sharing ur experiences and knowledges to all up coming and current college students who are still dreaming to fulfill they desired course. Two thumbs up for you effort and time to make this blog more informative and accommodating. Keep up the good work and I hope someday I could be also like you helping others tru this. By the way, I’m 22 yrs. old and working. I stopped schooling due to financial problem last March 2008 in TIP mla and my course is BS ECE. I only finished 1st yr. Unfortunately I failed two major subjects in first yr.Everyday I always thinking of my self studying again.I dnt have enough money to sustain my school needs before. I decided to work and to earn money and someday I’ll send my self back to school. But sad to say, In my frustration to study again and look for cheapest but not sure for the quality of education I choose DATAMEX,Manila. Honestly, Im not happy studying there, number one reason is the course I choose is IT w/c is just try if its good to me since IT is related in computer because Im addicted to online gaming. Secondly is the school facility is not advisable for the good teaching because its hot,( but there’s ceiling fan yet it cant help.) limited spaces and equipments. Student like me is hardly to focus in our study that’s why I ended up there nothing. I just waste money time and effort. But instructors and faculty members are accommodating, w/ no bad intentions to DATAMEX Mla I jst want to share my experiences. Now, Im still working and try to earn money because next school year is quite approaching, I really want to continue my study and to pursue my dream course w/ is now change to BS CE Im now 22 yrs old and getting older. My fire is still burning to study again especially when my workmates (some are graduating now in march) boost and encourage me to continue my dreams.I already inquire to EARIST and unfortunately they are not accepting transferee students who have fail grades. Ill loss hope. I still looking and searching in google for the better yet cheap engineering school when I visited your blog. Im happy to know that there’s still a person like you who patiently and willing to answers all questions given to you.. Hehehe Hope you can help me to find correct school for me. I want my hard-earned to be worth it. SAVE TIME your really right. ^_^ Pls send me an email so I can still keep in touch to you and update what happen to my quest to be an Civil Engineer someday. Godbless you more and I pray for you good health and more love for your family and friends. Thank You very much once again and have a nice day.( SOrry to my sentences, my english is not excellent.^^,)

     Hi, Madam im a Freshmen student currently taking up B.S. Medical Technology at Chinese General Hospital Colleges. But i decided to shift This Coming School year B.A. In Multimedia Arts what are the other Universities/Colleges Offering that course Ranging Only 20-30k? per sem Aside from APC And LPU? Manila area or Qc Or near in Bulacan only Thankss I’ll wait for your respond Thank you Good day!

111. Nors on March 13th, 2013 4:40 pm

     Hi take ken, thanks a lot for appreciating my efforts. Yes, you can start a blog even now while you’re exploring your other options. But prioritize your work and your plan of continuing your studies. I’m so sad you have 2 failed grades — the affordable but quality schools require good grades from transferees. Now, your options have been narrowed to affordable private schools. But these affordable private schools oftentimes are not in the higher tiers of board exam rankings. You can look at this ranking: http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2012/03/top-civil-engineering-schools-in.html I’ll give you the link of a more recent one later on. Keep determined and keep reaching out for your goal.

112. Nors on March 13th, 2013 11:26 pm

     Hi Nancy, there could be some reservations if HR people look at your transcript and see eteeap written on your transcript, although I’m not sure if schools write eteeap there. But I’m confident your work experience will carry you through. If I were an HR manager, I would prefer you over traditional graduates without experience, except for positions that have lower salaries. I researched some more about eteeap — you need at least 5 years of work experience, and that your course should be relevant to your work experience. I suggest as you complete your 5-year work experience, you research different schools’ eteeap programs and look at the courses offered. Check those of PUP and TUP. I came upon an interesting eteeap article here: http://coffeeatbreak.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-eteeap-journey-at-mseuf.html

113. Jackieline N. Corpuz on March 15th, 2013 1:20 pm

     Eto po ung school na disiplinado at tahimik, and employees there are approachable

     How to get there:
     Ride a jeepney heading to Lagro and then bumaba kayo sa overpass sa Central, sabihin nyo lng sa driver na ibaba kayo dun. Tapos umakyat kayo sa overpass at sumakay ng tricycle. Ibababa kayo nun sa gate ng NEU.

     Kapag andun na kayo, di kayo makakapasok kapag di kayo umayon sa dress code nila. And bring 2 ID’s.

     These are the clothes that are not allowed:
     -shorts
     -slippers
     -sandals
     -dress without sleeves
     -see through blouses
     -dress na above the knee
     -puruntong or yung pants na hanggang tuhod or binti lang. Dapat full pants siya.

     You must wear decent clothes.
     Ex. Dress with sleeves, pants, slacks, closed shoes.

     And another thing. They have satellite campuses at Pampanga, Batangas, and GenSan. But they only offer limited courses there.

     There is another satellite campus (actually the biggest and most modernized campus of NEU) that is currently under construction at Bocaue, Bulacan. It will be finished by 2014, in the INC centennial anniversary. It will open by June 2014 and it will be their MAIN CAMPUS. But the students and courses at NEU here at QC will be retained, but if the students are near Bulacan, they can transfer there. They will also open more MEDICAL COURSES at the Bulacan campus.

     For more inquiries, go to http://www.neu.edu.ph or call 9814221.

114. Nors on March 15th, 2013 3:36 pm

     Hi Jackieline, wow! thank you very much! I’m so happy you shared all these. Valuable, relevant and really very helpful. I’m sure many will be helped by what you shared because many are looking for affordable schools. Most private schools now charge more than 30k per sem, with the bigger ones more than 40k per sem. I’ve been mentioning NEU to some inquiring about schools in QC because I’ve also heard about its more affordable tuition. Your info is a winner because it’s complete! even with the transpo and dress code! wow! really I’m amazed. So thank you very much, Jackieline. Wish you continued success in life. Hope you share again later on your experience at the state university where you will go. One thing that bothers me a bit is that 85% grade requirement — is it really 85%? For all courses? Wow that’s quite high. PUP requires only 82%; they require 85% and 88% only for certain courses. Thanks again, Jackieline

115. pinopip on March 16th, 2013 5:24 pm

     Hi po ate. maganda po ba sa APC tsaka nabasa ko rin po kasi na nago-offer sila ng 50% discount pag public scholl grad ano po ba ibig sabihin nun 1st sem lng po ba yun o per sem? ASAP pls

116. Allysa on March 16th, 2013 6:44 pm

     Hello po gud day! Im going to grsduate na po this tuesday sa high school wala pa po aqng school na mapapasukan. ad to say bumagsak po aq sa test ng PUP manila Nagdecide po ang parents ko na sa UE daw eh kaso mahal nasa 36 to 40k per sem. And ang course ko ay accounting technology. Anu po ba ang pinagkaibahan nito sa accounting lang? Saka may suggestion pa po ba kayo ng school na maganda ang standard and hanggang 20k lng ang tuition per sem? Salamat po )

117. allysa on March 16th, 2013 6:48 pm

     Karagdagan po pwede po bang magtransfer sa PUP manila? kapag second year na po. Ang plano ko po kasi mag aaral po muna ako ng 1 yr sa ibang school at kung pwede po ay magtransfer po ako sa PUP manila gusto po kasi talaga dun.

118. eckart on March 16th, 2013 7:50 pm

     allyssa mahirap ba talga pupcet? send ko sau listing wats ur email?

119. Nors on March 16th, 2013 11:45 pm

     Hi pinopip, yes, APC is a good school, specially for courses related to computers and multimedia. It’s for the first sem; you need to maintain a certain grade. APC is trisem. But you go and inquire; there could have been changes.

120. Nors on March 17th, 2013 12:32 am

     Hi Allysa, you can try RTU in Mandaluyong, a state university. New Era in QC also is affordable – your high school average should be at least 85%. You can transfer to PUP if your weighted average grade is 2 or higher and you don’t have Failed, Dropped or Incomplete grade. It depends also on the available slot. BS in Accounting or Accountancy qualifies you to take the CPA exam. Accounting Technology could be a 3-year diploma course, depending on the school. Best regards. Wish you the best. Keep determined.

     Thank you po Ms. Nors! Godbless po!

122. allysa on March 17th, 2013 1:36 pm

     Eckart. For me yung pinakamahirap na part ng PUPCET ay yung general information about history di kasi ako masyadong common dun eh. Saka maraming nakapagsabi na 36K+ yung nagtake pero 7K lang po yung pumasa.

123. Cess on March 17th, 2013 3:56 pm

     Hi! =))) Ask ko lang po kung ano po mas magandang course kung medtech po ba o pharmacy. naguguluhan po kasi ako. and sa’n po ba ung mura lang ang tuition fee. thanks! ))

124. Bryan on March 17th, 2013 4:39 pm

     Hi mam nors im back again share ko lang yung experienced ko s sa eteeap. Ive tried my luck to take an eteeap course but sad to say i failed. I am a computer shop owner for five years so ito yung ginamit ko na requirements fo eteeap, being self employed for five years although i have work experiences hindi naman pwede kasi dapat currently employed. Complete namn lahat ng legal documents ko kasi alam ko na qualified ako but one thing is nung pinacheck ko na requirements ko lumalabas na yung permit ko is 3 years pa lang kasi late na ako nagparegister. Ive even show them my sss contribution as self employed para maproof na 5 years running na yung business ko and also im expecting na ibabackground check din nila ako talagang nilaban ko po hehe pero ayun atleast i tried and a lesson learned for me na napahalaga ng mga documents na yan credentials, certificates etc. Kya ingatan natin guys. Mam nors im heading now s plan B ko to take traditional education na po im planning to enroll this cominng school year sana po matulungan nyo uli ako business ad po ang gusto ko itake nka 2years naman na ako sa dati ko coarse kya sure namn na may maccredit na subjects kahit minor lang pero eager po talaga ako makatapos asap kasi 26 na ako kaya need ko sana ng mga trisem schools na mura lang my budget is around 25k lang po im not up to the school, facilities etc etc kasi fulfilment ko na lang po sa sarili ko ito i believe na nasa tao pa din yan. Basta focus lang ako makatapos p ara naman may maipagmalaki ako sa anak ko. Mam nors may nkapag inquire po ako nung fri at ito po un

     Pwu – 30k+ tuition fee hindi ko po kaya ng budget
     Ama makati – 20 to 25k mejo pasok pero hesitant dahil sa nabasa ko comment above
     Informatics manila- wala akong idea sa school na to pero may night classes which is suited for me kya lang depende pa rin ata s mga mg eenroll and singapore pala ang informatics
     Apc- medyo labas din sa budget at konti lang maccredit ko pero dun sa 3 i mentioned halos lahat

     Hope na meron pa po kayong trisem schools na pasok po sa budget ko salamt po and god bless always!

125. Nors on March 18th, 2013 12:02 am

     Hi Cess, both courses are offered at Fatima Valenzuela, which I think is one of the more affordable private schools. Which course? Depends on which you prefer doing. Do you prefer a hospital setting? Then medtech could be it. Although there are also pharmacists in hospitals and there are medtechs in research or equipment sale companies. Continue browsing online about comments on these courses.

126. Nors on March 18th, 2013 12:37 am

     Hi Bryan, thanks for sharing your experiences. The other trisem schools that I know don’t meet your criteria. How about PUP Open University since you’re already into business? and the school is good. http://www.pup.edu.ph/OU/SDE/bsem.aspx Hope you can share again if you consider this one. I’ll add to this if I see something. God bless too!

127. renzo on March 18th, 2013 1:32 am

     Hi Mam Nors, may I know if TIP QC accepts transferees with failed and dropped subjects? I’ve been to different schools from UST to STI and currently in AMA. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same lack of quality education with my current school. I have a lot of dropped and failed subjects because I wasn’t able to pay my tuition fees in time. For a time I worked to earn enough so I can transfer to a better university and continue my course. I just want to finish my IT course with competency so that I can land my dream career. I have high hopes in high school that’s why I studied hard and fortunately it paid off because I graduated valedictorian of our classs. Now my dilemma is if I still can be admitted to a very good university despite my mistakes in my early years in college? Thank you for your help.

128. anna on March 18th, 2013 5:33 am

     hi mam nors.. im a nursing student but i stop studying last 2011 due to frustrations and also financial incapability.. i always wanted to take up BS Accountancy but my parents wont let me.. and now i was thinking if i can still go back to college.. i was once a student of san beda mendiola and i want to study again. but i guess thier tuition is so expensive, can you please help me find a good school for accountancy with 20-30k tuition because thats all i can afford.

129. Anon on March 18th, 2013 6:36 am

     @renzo
     Hi Renzo, I’m a graduate of 2 year course in ACLC. I attempted to continue my course in AMA University but I decided to transfer right away after one trimester (to prevent further damage lol). And here I went to TIP Manila for Inquiry, they have entrance exam for transferee which is three parts: English, Mathematics(with bits of Diff Calculus) and Science. They said in the first part of my exam I already reached the passing grade (more items on first part) so I think it would be a piece of cake for you. The best thing, I already had session with the Dean and he decided to transfer me to Computer Engineering instead of Electronics Engineering cause my previous course was more related to computers, but he will have an assessment with my grades after I finished the first two years of Engineering so I can shift to ECE. Most of all my subjects from ACLC will be credited with little exceptions. hope this helps you.

130. Nors on March 18th, 2013 6:36 am

     Hi renzo, you write very well, specially for someone who hasn’t finished college. Good grammar. And I’m glad you recognize you’ve made mistakes and you’re now determined to get back on the road and pursue your dreams. I think TIP QC accepts those with failed grades; I’m sure you can answer all their questions about what happened. Bring your high school records just in case. Supplement your on-campus studies with online studies. Since you’re into IT, I suggest you visit cragslist manila from time to time and look at what jobs are being advertised. And perhaps be inspired and be knowledgeable about what subjects you should focus on or research about. If you feel like applying because you’re qualified, be conscious that there are scams on craigslist — never pay to get a job and never do a service without making sure you’re paid. Wish you the best!

131. Nors on March 18th, 2013 9:20 am

     Hi Anon, wow! Thank you very much for sharing info. This would help Renzo and others looking for schools and in the same situation. Wish you the best. I hope later on you can share us your experiences at TIP Manila. And did you ask about tuition fees? Can you share that info too? Thanks again

132. Nors on March 18th, 2013 9:48 am

     Hi anna, I have a relative, an accounting student who transferred from LaSalle Dasma to PSBA Manila, so PSBA must be okay. I think the fees are within the range you mentioned. These are the performance of accounting schools in recent CPA exams; take a look: http://www.schoolsphilippines.com/2012/05/top-50-accounting-schools-in.html Keep pursuing your dream; a good accountant can always find a good job since most businesses need an accountant.

133. renzo on March 18th, 2013 2:33 pm

     Thank you Mam Nors and also to you, Anon. It’s a great help for someone like me who thought that everything wrong I did in the past will define me in the future. I now have hope that every thing will turn out fine. I will pursue my chosen path and hopefully I can share my success story on your blog someday. Again, thank you for your big help.

134. Jackieline N. Corpuz on March 18th, 2013 5:48 pm

     Welcome Ms. Nors I really love to help everyone in need of finding schools with quality education and at the same time, with affotdable tuition. And to add info about NEU, there is no sunday classes there kasi po pinapahalagahan nila ung nasa 4th Commandment ni Lord na nagsasabing bawal magtrabaho kapag Linggo At about din po sa grade, gen. average po pla ung 85% dapat. Sorry po nagkamali lang.

135. Bhelle on March 18th, 2013 7:22 pm

     Good evening po! Gusto ko Lang po itanong Kung open pa po ba ang admission sa U.P Manila until now? Para po sa friend ko

136. Nors on March 18th, 2013 9:45 pm

     Hi Jackieline, thanks again! About average, you did not have to say sorry (parang kanta)…because I was also referring to general average, to 85%, which is really quite high, compared to the grade requirement of state schools. But that’s good for the school — that means all students there were top-performing high school students. thanks again and best regards

137. Nors on March 18th, 2013 10:00 pm

     Hi Bhelle, do you mean for freshmen? For the 2013-2014 school year, application for the UP admission test closed in June 2012 and the test was already held in August 2012. Application for the test is 1 year ahead. Try TUP, RTU and other PUP branches.

138. marlwayne on March 19th, 2013 11:26 pm

139. cha on March 21st, 2013 10:55 am

     hello ms.nor maganda po ba sa AMA para sa course ko na INformation Technology… baka naman po kasi pera pera lang dun..

140. Lorenz on March 21st, 2013 1:33 pm

     Hi! Can you please help me to choose from these schools for a course in information technology: PUP Commonwealth, TIP QC, FEU-FERN (Diliman) or other schools you can suggest near QC that has good IT curriculum? Please provide me with further information. Thanks.

141. Nors on March 21st, 2013 10:22 pm

     Hi cha, there are several here who have commented they studied there but they left because they said the tuition is not worth it. Explore other schools.

142. Nors on March 21st, 2013 10:32 pm

     Hi Lorenz, I think the differences would not be great, so I think PUP Commonwealth would be okay, if you’re not so particular about campus facilities (FEU-FERN has the best among the 3). The thousands of money you save from tuition — you can use it for equipment and supplemental studies.

143. kurt dominique delos reyes on March 22nd, 2013 3:02 pm

144. kurt dominique delos reyes on March 22nd, 2013 3:03 pm

     magkano po kapag 6 units lang ang isusummer sa feu ?

150. Nors on March 23rd, 2013 4:10 pm

     Hi Kurt, yes, it’s still open. Most private schools except UST and Ateneo, are open for admission until April or May.

151. Nors on March 23rd, 2013 4:14 pm

     Oo, ang galing if you’re accepted at PUP. I bet students spend more for their load and soft drinks than their school fees for 1 sem.

152. Nors on March 23rd, 2013 4:45 pm

     Hi lester, yes, the fees on FEU’s website are already total school fees. But the actual total that you pay may be a little bit higher or lower than those on the website, depending on the actual no. of units that you will have.

153. Nors on March 24th, 2013 3:08 am

     Hi bridgite, have you tried Unibersidad de Manila near City Hall? Tuition is free here for Manila residents. Bring your voter’s ID. But I’m not sure if admission for this coming school year is still open. PNU offers Psychology for guidance counseling. Only 120 pesos per unit, if they haven’t increased fees. EARIST in Sta Mesa is also an option. God bless too, and don’t be discouraged. Keep looking for ways so you can achieve your dreams. Hope you can comment again here to say where you have enrolled.

154. Cess on March 24th, 2013 9:18 pm

     How much po ang tuition fee ng pharmacy and med tech sa CEU?

     Good day,
     Hi,Im Sharra I just want to know if what school has offering a night shift class,because I’m working, and I just want to know the school that it’s fit to my budget.My course is BSBA and I also want to ask what school can accept me,If my enrollment is to late.And I’m a high school graduate.

     Thank you & best regards.

156. Ren on March 27th, 2013 11:01 am

     Good Day!..
     i just want to know if how much are the tuition fees in olopsc college marikina, Marikina polytechnic college,montessori professional college located in marcos highway just the estimated amount per term.. thanks a lot and godbless!.

157. Nors on March 27th, 2013 1:17 pm

     Hi sharra, where do you live — what city? have you taken up college subjects already? I think Unibersidad de Manila is still open – free tuition for Manila residents. University of Manila has low tuition fees. I think there are really no night-shift classes; class schedules usually end until 9 or 9:30 pm only. PCU can also be an option — some working students commenting here are from PCU. Keep pursuing your goals, sharra, wish you the best!

158. Ian on March 28th, 2013 4:45 pm

     Pwede po bng pakiklaro lng nag kaunti ung computer Eng. Ng. National University. At pwede rin po bang ibigay ung comsci ng National U.

159. Cess on March 28th, 2013 7:29 pm

     How much po ang tuition fee ng pharmacy and med tech sa CEU?

160. Nors on March 28th, 2013 9:13 pm

     Hello Ren, Ian, and Cess, please call those schools for their tuition fees so that you get the exact amounts. I now don’t have time calling schools for their tuition fees.
     The only tuition fees I know are those that are in the article above.

161. Jess on March 29th, 2013 9:49 pm

     Good evening Miss! Freshly HS Grad but until now, I still can’t decide where to go college this coming AY. I really wanted to go to either PUP or TUP but the application period are both closed. Can you please recommend me some schools offering BS ECE which are known for quality education and affordable tuition fee? Especially, those which are within Manila. I have another question. Can I still avail scholarships offered by the school if I’m already a government scholar particularly a DOST scholar? Your answers will really help me a lot! THANKS^^

162. Nors on March 30th, 2013 1:13 pm

     Hi Jess, I checked the DOST scholarship website, and yes, you can enjoy another scholarship as long as it’s not another government scholarship and it’s offered by the school or coursed through the school. The website also listed priority schools for ECE like UST, LaSalle, UP, TUP, Ateneo, Mapua, Adamson and other schools in the provinces like SLU. I think you need to study the rules of your DOST scholarship, about transfer, shifting, deferment, etc. so you can weigh things and decide wisely. What if you lose the scholarship — can you continue in that school? Would it be better if you defer so you can apply for admission at UP, PUP, or TUP? Does DOST allow transfer from a private to a state school? What’s the policy of state schools about transferees? science-scholarships.ph/

163. Jess on March 30th, 2013 7:55 pm

     Thanks for sharing the link! I’ve learned a lot from it! I am now confuse if I should defer or continue. Well, EARIST is my only choice. Is it a good engineering school? I’m thinking of some plans that after a year in EARIST, I will transfer to PUP. Is it a good idea? What do you think Mrs. Nors? How hard is it to apply at PUP as a transferee?

164. Nors on March 31st, 2013 9:49 pm

     Hi Jess, transfer to PUP depends on the number of slots available, your grades and your interview. Is EARIST okay with DOST? If you can use your scholarship there, then that’s good. How about RTU in Mandaluyong? I hope it’s still open.

165. Jess on April 1st, 2013 9:16 am

     The scholarship policy says that I shall enroll to any state college/university or any CHED identified COE/COD. I’m also thinking of enrolling to RTU but I’ll be residing at Paco and it is quite far. I have no choice but to enroll in EARIST. Is their College of Engineering good?

166. Nors on April 1st, 2013 12:06 pm

     Hi Jess, Earist has not performed well in recent PRC licensure exams for electronics engineers, but you could be one of those that will lift them up. Just supplement your campus studies with self-sourced off-school studies, such as online studies, equipment repairs, etc. Wish you success! And congratulations for being chosen as one of the DOST scholars!

167. Jess on April 2nd, 2013 8:02 am

     Ahaha I hope I can make it. Thanks for giving me such wonderful and helpful advises! May God bless you. And I THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

168. Ally on April 2nd, 2013 11:30 am

     Hi!!goog day to all of you:)
     I would like to know if letran is a good school for hrm because they have a good facilities and clean campus that can helP the students to study in a good environment..

169. ellen joy mojica on April 2nd, 2013 2:10 pm

     is TUP admission still on-going?or what other schools are still open for admission?

170. Nors on April 2nd, 2013 9:11 pm

     Hi ellen, TUP is still open for a few courses; most courses are already closed. Last exam is on Apr 27. I don’t know the deadline for application for this last batch, so you go there asap. Try EARIST and RTU. Most private universities are still open for admission.

171. ems on April 2nd, 2013 10:53 pm

     hi ms nors! Ask lng po if TUP Taguig still open for admission? Waht school is best for IT course? Is TUP prefer for IT course?

172. carlo on April 3rd, 2013 12:05 am

     Hi mrs.nors I’ve finish the first year k11-program of univ. of makati and i decided not to finish the k12, bec. i want to transfer in APC . im from a public highschool, but not a freshman na.. How much po ba ang tuition fee pag military dependent? at ma-credit po ba ung grades para maging 2nd yr student ako? pls. reply ASAP. Thank you

173. Nors on April 3rd, 2013 11:38 am

     Hi carlo, k11 is part of high school, so I think it cannot be counted as first year college. You’re still a freshman if you apply for college admission. APC gives 60% discount for military kids; so assuming the tuition fee is 40k, you’ll pay 40% of 40k, which is 16k. I don’t think your K11 subjects will be credited, since these are senior high school subjects, but of course I’m not with APC, so go to APC and inquire — they might have a different policy for K11 and k12.

174. Allen C on April 3rd, 2013 3:49 pm

     Hi I’m allen share ko lng expirience ko sa TIP Manila, nag aral ako dun last year 2012 first year first sem lng ako ksi nhrpan magbayad mother ko sa tuition fee nila na umaabot 28K per sem BSECE ako non, mgnda nman sa TIP maayus ang Facilty at library, tpos may teacher ako dun na from UP and ateneo so may quality tlga ang TIP Manila kso yun nga hnd ko natuloy ang pagaaral ko dun in short nahinto ang pangarap ko. Pero ngayong 2013 balak ko sna mag aral ulit hnhnty ko ang result sa tup at ask ko lng sna kung kung paano ako mkkpag enroll sa RTU for bsece thanks

175. Nors on April 3rd, 2013 7:33 pm

     Hi Allen, you said you’re waiting for the TUP result — did you apply for transfer? The same with RTU, what you do is to apply for transfer. They require an average grade of 2. I just don’t know if they’re still open for transfer. I hope your TUP application will be accepted. If you’re not able to enroll in TUP and RTU, you can consider Earist, but they might also have a grade requirement for transferees (they require a 85%-grade for English and Math for high school grads). Thanks for sharing your TIP Manila experience. It will help others. Hope you can share again your experiences about your transfer. best regards

176. Marian on April 3rd, 2013 10:09 pm

     Hi! I’m a HS graduate student. Gusto ko mag take ng BS customs Administration.. Kaso ang hirap maghanap ng school na nago-offer ng ganung course EXCEPT po sa PMI. May maisa-suggest po ba kayong school? Pero yung affordable din kahit papano at dito lang sa QC or Metro Manila.. PLEASE help me po. Thnks.

177. Chrispher on April 4th, 2013 9:25 am

     goodmorning!

     gusto ko sana mag transfer sa FEU Manila in Course of Tourism. pde malaman kung anu ung international travel nila? thanks you.

178. Nors on April 4th, 2013 11:04 am

     Hi Chrispher, based on forum comments that I’ve read, FEU’s international tours happen during 4th year, and they’re usually to Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

179. pearl on April 4th, 2013 1:27 pm

     good day po madam nors..your blog is very helpful,since i was looking for an affordable tuition fee here in manila..maam, i just finished my 1st year college at cagayan de oro city last scoll year 2005 till 2006 and because of many problems i wasnt able to pursue.and now i am coping to study again here in manila?i am living at quezon avenue,quezon city..and planning to pursue my course which is BSED ..which school can i enroll for now?can i still enroll at PUP? my lowest grade is 2.75 in one subject only.the rest are 1.5 …if i cant enroll there?where are the other options?an affordable tuition fee..thank you maam..

180. Nors on April 4th, 2013 9:37 pm

     Hi pearl, sorry, you’re already late for admission at PUP Mla, even at PUP QC. The minimum weighted average grade for transferees is 2. New Era is affordable — about 12k per sem. Find an Iglesia ni Kristo member who can give you a recommendation. You can also try Philippine Normal University or Philippine Christian University along Taft or Earist in Santa Mesa. Check the estimated tuition fees of these schools in the article above. Thank you for appreciating my blog. Keep pursuing your dreams. Be determined. And keep praying.

181. Nors on April 4th, 2013 10:49 pm

     Hi Marian, the ones offering customs administration are Adamson, Lyceum, Emilio Aguinaldo, Philippine Merchant Marine, Feati, West Bay College Alabang. I hope, later on, you can share where you enrolled and how much is the tuition…wish you the best.

182. veron on April 5th, 2013 3:25 pm

     Hi Ms. Nors! i’m Veron, 22 years of age. I’m working as an Executive Assistant in a broadcasting company. I’ve graduated BSBA Major in Financial Management pero i’m very much interested to pursue Accountancy. Some of my friends told me na may mga schools daw po na nag-ooffer ng ganun, yung itatake up ko lang po yung mga Accounting Subjects na naiwan ko dahil FM is until Accounting 10 only.May alam po ba kayong schools? prefer ko rin po sana yung Saturday and Sunday classes since my working sched is Monday to Friday only, 9am -6pm. Thank you very much. God Bless..

183. CHEAN on April 5th, 2013 7:22 pm

     hi ms.nors..im having a hard time choosing a college for my brother..he wants to take up accountancy and he’s very eager about ust,unfortunately im the only one working in our family,and my income will never be enough..he’s very diligent,graduated valedictorian during elementary,and 5th honorable mention in highschool.he’s confident that he is eligible for the scholarship program,but im worried that the programs would need ”backers” since they dont have exams..i want to send him to a good college,somewhere not to expensive but can provide quality education..we also consider colleges with good scholarships..my mom sees him as her “pagasa sa buhay” and we dont want to fail her..pls give me suggestions about where i can enroll him..thanks and i appreciate it a lot!

186. Annyka Santos on April 6th, 2013 10:36 am

     Good day! Ask ko lang po kung nasa magkano ang tuition fee ng BSIT sa FEU East Asia and UE? Thank you.

187. Nors on April 6th, 2013 10:45 am

     Hi jerald, do you mean registration for the entrance exam? The last entrance test for TUP Manila is Apr 27 or 28; go there and ask, so you can apply if it’s still open. For TUP Cavite, application is still open.

188. Nors on April 6th, 2013 11:31 am

     Hi alissa, did your brother graduate from high school this March or April? If yes, I wish he took the entrance exam at PUP (payment here is only about 1k per sem). Try RTU Mandaluyong if the application period is still open (tuition here is about 200 per unit). RTU trunkline 534-8267. Did he pass the USTET? Does your city government have a scholarship program of residents. A relative knows someone who got a scholarship from the Muntinlupa city government, and she graduated last year from UST with a Mass Comm degree. New Era University can also be an option if your near this school — tuition is more affordable than most schools.
     You can also apply for an SSS educational loan for your brother every sem if you’re single, have paid at least 36 contributions and your SSS salary credit is lower than 15k. SSS Educational Loan best regards. keep pursuing your dreams!

     Hi veron, you need to find schools that are not very particular with their CPA Licensure passing rate. Schools that are tracking their passing rates require that their accounting grads studied with them since the first year. I don’t know if I can find a college/university with Saturday and Sunday schedules only. This sked is more likely that of specialized schools. The more likely school hours that could fit your work hours are 730 to 1030 pm Mon to Sat. Where are you working? You should study in a school very near your workplace or home to save time. Are you near PCU? or St. Dominic Savio College? or PSBA? or TIP? These schools might have late or flexible skeds.
     There’s a program called Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP), and there are schools that offer accountancy under this program. This is offered to those who have 5 years of related work experience and who want to acquire a degree related to their work. I’ll email you one ETEEAP program. God bless too. Keep pursuing your dream!

     ahh ok thank you sa information.. ahmm katulad rin pla sa Trinity University of Asia. bka d na ako mag transfer thanks.

191. Nors on April 7th, 2013 9:07 am

     Hi Chrispher, yes, and some of your subjects might not be credited if you transfer. Tuition fees at FEU are also higher, I think. If you have time, can you share your tuition here to help those who are looking for schools. Thanks

192. Chrispher on April 8th, 2013 1:08 am

     sa HRM 33.5k 1st .. I.T 55k 1st Sem. yung iba meron na kau information eh..

193. Nors on April 8th, 2013 7:32 am

     Hi Chrispher, thanks a lot. It helps me and the others. I’m sad though that TUA has increased its IT fees to 55k.

194. Annyka Santos on April 9th, 2013 9:18 am

     Hi po. Ask ko lang po if okay lang ba yung BSIT sa Informatics? Suggest other schools naman po para sa BSIT. Thank you.

195. Annyka Santos on April 9th, 2013 9:34 am

     And also sa TIP Manila

196. Nors on April 9th, 2013 12:51 pm

     Hi Annyka, if you like TIP Manila, that’s a valid choice. Other good choices are Asia Pacific College, College of Saint Benilde, FEU East Asia, and Mapua.

197. Annyka Santos on April 9th, 2013 5:23 pm

     Hmmm. Ok po. Eh yung BSIT po ba sa UE Caloocan okay or not?

198. Chrispher on April 9th, 2013 7:38 pm

     hey’ panu po ba kapag 2nd year level na kami tapos lilipat kami school .from TUA to FEU babalik b kami sa 1st year??

199. Nors on April 9th, 2013 10:26 pm

     Hi Chrispher, it all depends on the number of TUA subjects that will be credited by FEU. What the FEU department for your course will do is to check its first-year curriculum and then see if you’ve taken these subjects at TUA; they will ask you to describe the subjects, or they might require a description of subjects from your school. What’s likely is you’ll be 2nd year irregular, with more subjects than the 2nd year regular students. But I’m not sure of course; you have to go to FEU and have your subjects evaluated.

200. edlyn on April 11th, 2013 7:23 pm

204. Nors on April 12th, 2013 7:58 pm

     Hi kimmy, try TIP, PSBA, University of Manila. Here’s a list of accounting schools and their performance in the May 2012 licensure exams:
     Accounting Schools

205. Nors on April 12th, 2013 8:27 pm

     Hi don-eldz, thanks for writing about your school. I like your school and its feel. I went there once, as a friend and her husband got their nursing degrees there — they both passed the board exam and they’re now on their way to Canada, as they wait for their U.S. family visa. I really like your campus, and its location is also near Tagaytay. Do you have campus pictures you can share? I like to write about your school in our other blog schoolsphilippines.com and universitiescollegesphilippines.blogspot.com. If you have, and you have time, would you please send them to workingpinoy.com@gmail.com? I’ll credit the pictures to you. Again, thank you very much.

206. Nors on April 12th, 2013 8:51 pm

     Hi xian, PUP charges only about 1k per sem; but exam/admission period is already past. RTU’s tuition fee is about 200 pesos per unit. University of Manila, I think, charges lower than 15k per sem. New Era University is good, but your high school average should at least be 85%

207. Nors on April 12th, 2013 9:41 pm

     Hi Edlyn, I looked at the NEU course list, and there’s no Architecture. I’m not sure about working students — it would depend on whether they offer late schedules and if they have a minimum no. of units per sem. Try TIP; some say it has flexible schedules.

208. mimi on April 13th, 2013 12:28 am

     Hi maam , ask ko lng po nag study po ko ng masscomm in public school kaso lng po 1st sem lng natapos ko and plan ko po mgstudy ulit and my choice is lyceum manila kasi my naipon nman po ko when i stop .gusto ko po icontinue ung masscomm .mag kano po kya ang initial payment pg nag enrol po ako.

211. Paul on April 18th, 2013 8:17 pm

     gusto ko lang malaman, if you have the tuition fee list ng Saint Louis University (SLU) sa Baguio CIty, balita ko kasi mas mura doon at maganda din naman ang turo, i am a Communication student of AdU, since nagtaas ang school namen n Tuition fee per semester, plano ko lumipa. Mas makakatulong din po sakin kung may mga post din po kayo ng mga affordable apartments or dormitory sa Baguio City.. thank you po..

212. Nors on April 19th, 2013 7:01 am

     Hi Paul, is your home in Manila? If yes, then you don’t have to pay dorm fees, etc. Have you computed expenses, including transpo, food, dorm, laundry, etc. if you study in Baguio? Yes, SLU is a good school, it’s licensure passing rates are high. But at the moment, sorry I don’t have info on their fees and on living accommodations. I’ll get back if I have info.

213. Jerome on April 19th, 2013 7:53 pm

215. Ana Panganiban on April 19th, 2013 8:03 pm

     Hello, good evening. I would just like to ask kung magkano ang tuition fee ng education sa Trinity? Thank you for the response.

216. Nors on April 20th, 2013 11:40 am

     Hi Jerome, nasaan ka ba?

217. Nors on April 20th, 2013 11:46 am

     Hi Jedsmith, meron namang mura… sa PUP and TUP and their branches, RTU, PNU, Unibersidad de Manila at sa mga Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng ___ or Probinsiya ng ___. That’s good — nag-a-advocate ka ng lower tuition, but while you’re doing your advocacy, find a cheaper-tuition school and turn your anger and frustration into something good for you and society.

218. Nors on April 21st, 2013 7:20 am

     Hi Ana, I hope the tuition per sem for education is still less than 30k.

219. Lieann on April 23rd, 2013 1:21 pm

     hi ms. nors ask lang po if open parin po ba ang RTU for entrance exam.

220. Nors on April 23rd, 2013 11:25 pm

     Hi Lieann, sorry I’m not sure if the April 17 exam results on their website are the last ones or if there will be others. Please call 534-8267

221. Jhay on April 24th, 2013 2:57 am

     Hi po, I know this is kinda late and I am planning to transfer to I.T. Hihingi lang po ako ng advice kung anu-anong school ang magaling sa field na yan. Ang mga nakita ko pong school na kilala sa I.T is Feu-eac, UE at PUP. Wala naman po siguro akong problema about sa entrance exams, ang tanging concern ko lang is that I had a lot of failing grades in my previous school at worried ako dahil mayroong mga colleges na hindi tumatanggap pag may failing grade ka. Willing po ako mag-aral ng ulit kahit na hindi ma-credit yung mga taken na minor subjects ko. Salamat po.

222. Nors on April 24th, 2013 1:44 pm

     Hi Jhay, there are a lot of private schools that give second chances as long as you submit complete documents and give the right answers during interviews. Asia Pacific College allows 1 Failed grade per semester and a maximum of 4 Fs for all sems. At St. Benilde, pass the interview. The same with FEU EAC and UE. Hope you comment again here when you’ve found the right school.

223. Jhay on April 25th, 2013 4:21 pm

     Nag-inquire ako sa UE, they said that if you failed many times they won’t accept you even if you start as a freshman. Also at PUP, tapos na yung enrollment schedule nila. I am lost, di ko na alam saan ako mag-aaral

224. Nors on April 25th, 2013 9:46 pm

     Hi Jhay, UE and PUP and your previous school are not the only schools around. There are others. Don’t give up. Life is not easy. You need to be strong. Did you inquire at FEU EAC? How about TIP? Adamson? Lyceum? NU? Letran? http://www.workingpinoy.com/2011/02/private-universities-in-metro-manila-philippines-nearby-areas/ hope you find your school soon…

225. Chaine on April 28th, 2013 4:31 pm

     Hi..which is a better school to take up a business course..is it San Beda or Letran?
     My grades are not that high when i graduated in HS that is why in both school (San Beda-probationary student ako) and in (Letran-ive got enrichment for both english and math).
     Which will be better for me. I know i need to be studying harder in both schools..which is which?

226. Charlie on April 28th, 2013 5:22 pm

     Hi My name is Charlie, I finished my high school last 1988 with grade of 85 in Pardo Gullas, Cebu. Since then, it’s hard for me to get back to school as financially I do not have any, and had to work full time to support my family.

     By profession, I’ve done so many jobs just like others who’d been graduated in college as comparison such as Sales, Technician, Export Sales and Marketing. These high paying jobs lost me somehow, thought I could live without college diploma, but since i am getting older … I realized it doesn’t make me feel complete, opportunity is very limited.

     Now, I am 42 this year and was thinking to finish my college degree, I think I’d like to take up in Business Administration, which university should I go, budget wise I do still want to consider going with inexpensive universities. Doesnt matter Cebu, Manila area.

     Thank you much !

227. Nors on April 28th, 2013 11:49 pm

     Hi Chaine, I think they’re both good schools. Choose the one where you’re comfortable, where it’s easier to travel to, and where you like better the environment (campus, etc). Perhaps San Beda has an edge. Hope you make the right choice. Best wishes on your studies.

228. Nors on April 29th, 2013 8:54 pm

     Hi Charlie, congrats for conquering the working world abroad despite not getting a college degree. You’ve already accomplished a lot despite what you see as limitations. Check this program, you might want to try it as a better option for you: Info on ETEEAP program
     Or if you like to get the campus feel, perhaps you take one sem or one year of actual college life, and then apply for ETEEAP. Obviously, the state schools are preferred, but the entrance exam deadlines are already past. You can check the private schools above with lower rates, such as PCU or Univ of Manila. Hope you can share here later on your accomplishments. Best regards!

229. bryan on May 1st, 2013 3:12 pm

     hi ako po si bryan ano po bang college tatangap sakin baba kac ng average ko 75 lang nag loko kac ako ng highschool days bukod sa sti? d2 sa pasig po help namn yung 20-27k p ang tuition? help nan po

230. Nors on May 1st, 2013 6:34 pm

     Hi bryan, buti naman at nakita mo yong pagloko mo when you were in high school. I hope you’ve already realized that you need to give attention to your studies. Have you tried JRU? Kasi this is along the Quiapo-Pasig jeepney route. I’ll make a list of schools in Pasig, and then give you the link later.

     Hello po. pde pa po ba mag test sa UDM hanggang ngaun??? saka pde po ba na ndi manila ung voters Id ng parent ko??

234. Nors on May 5th, 2013 6:50 am

     Hi Paul, no you no longer take the UPCAT; this exam is only for high school grads who have not yet taken any college subject. I think you’ll be classified as transferee, so you would have interviews, and exams depending on the course. Your acceptance also depends on available slots. You can check this out: Transfer to UP

235. Nors on May 5th, 2013 6:58 am

     Hi Jhovi, UDM is for Manila residents only. One of their requirements is voter’s ID of parent. But go there and ask, baka meron changes. If not, try EARIST along Nagtahan.

236. theoneee on May 5th, 2013 11:54 am

     magkano IT sa TIPQC? asap pls.

237. olga on May 6th, 2013 6:45 pm

     HEllo ask ko lang po if you have idea how much ang uniform sa feu, and pe uniform also. Salamat po

238. Nors on May 7th, 2013 10:50 am

     Hi theoneee, am not sure, but it could be about 20k per sem

239. Nors on May 8th, 2013 10:46 am

     Hi Olga, it’s cheaper at the Recto underpass near FEU (Quezon Blvd side). There are many FEU uniform makers there. I’m not sure if it’s 500 per set, or less. I forgot. Ask about 3 makers first, and then decide.

240. Aegrene on May 13th, 2013 8:55 am

     Hi Ms. Nors.. I just wanna ask lang po if totoo bang transferee from Manila lang ang inaaccept ng University of Manila? TIA.

241. Nors on May 13th, 2013 6:44 pm

     Hi Aegrene, are you referring to the private school UM? It’s a private school so I think they accept transferees from any place as long as the transfer papers are in order. It’s Unibersidad de Manila which accepts only Manila residents and voters.

242. Joy on May 14th, 2013 3:03 pm

     hi ms Nors i am looking for a school here in quezon city close to fairview, novaliches or along commonwealth for a coarse BSBA or BS in management accounting.Ung mura lang po at affordable tuition fees (15k-18k)i was checking ABE international business college in the web but then it doesn’t show there how much the tuition fees.Do u have any idea about this school? best choice kaya mgaral jan?any idea ms norms about ABE along commonwealth? ill wait for the reply thanks a lot..

243. Nors on May 14th, 2013 11:28 pm

     Hi Joy, sorry I’m not familiar with ABE; my impression is that it’s like STI or AMA Learning Centers that have franchise operations. I suggest you check out New Era University. I’m not an INK member, but I’ve heard good stories about this school. Here’s info about New Era University

244. joy on May 15th, 2013 7:35 am

     ms nors i just wanna ask if new era accept transferees i studied 2years and 1sem in BS management accounting but i am planning to change course to BSBA major in HRDM i got my TOR with me and i have 3 subject inc grades due that i was not able to fix it coz am in the hurry to move here in quezon city it was inc coz of late payment of tuition fees.please give me advise what best to do ..

245. Nors on May 15th, 2013 1:12 pm

     Hi joy, NEU offers only BSBA in Management, Marketing, Legal Mgt and Banking and Finance. For transferees, the weighted average should be 2.25. I’m not sure if they consider those with Incomplete. You can call 981-4221 local 3816 for BSBA Dept. I hope you can share here later on what happened

246. RR on May 15th, 2013 8:20 pm

     magkano po ung 1 set ng uniform sa FEU EAC??

247. Nors on May 16th, 2013 8:23 am

     Hi RR, sorry I don’t know about EAC, but the FEU main uniform cost about 500 pesos per set — there are a lot of uniform makers at the Quezon Blvd-Recto underpass near FEU

248. :) on May 16th, 2013 6:49 pm

     Thank you so much for posting this. Very informative and helpful, it is.

249. Wannatry on May 18th, 2013 12:45 am

     Hello nors! what can you say about Informatics Northgate? San Beda Alabang or Informatics for BS Information Technolgy, which is better? Thank you

250. Nors on May 18th, 2013 8:18 am

     Hi Wannatry, if you have plans of working in Singapore, then Informatics might be better, as this school is affiliated with a Singaporean company. There are however companies that prefer graduates who studied at “traditional” schools, such as San Beda. There are HR officers who still see Informatics something like STI or AMA, which can be franchised by anyone who has the capital. But if you naturally thrive in IT (you can already create a website, or use Movie Maker, Powerpoint, etc. even without studying it formally), you will succeed, whether you study at Informatics or San Beda Alabang. I suggest you research forums such as pinoyexchange.com (find the San Beda thread). Maganda ring basahin mo ito: Advice about the best IT school
