Dec 2023: Excited for Paskuhan 2023 😊

University of Santo Tomas, my Alma Mater is the oldest existing university in Asia and one of the most prestigious and top private universities in the Philippines. Absolutely beautiful and iconic, a lot of greeneries and trees in the campus.

One of the most beautiful universities in the Philippines. It's clean, very spacious, and it's really nice to walk inside the campus as it has lots of green space. It feels so calming and relaxing just strolling around and sitting in the park areas. The university was also able to preserve and maintain the ancient feels and facade of its Main Building which is facing the España side.

Absolutely beautiful and iconic place. The grounds is very well-maintained and seemed very safe. I took a nice quick look at the museum that was quite small but captured the essence of the importance of the university.

The university just had a really nice vibe to it and the greenery was just really nice to look at. Had no issues with anyone here and everyone was just friendly.

Prime University located along España St. in Sampaloc Manila. One of the oldest universities in the Philippines and in Asia. The school campus is not open to the public except the hospital and the carpark where you still see the magnificent main building. Fastfood stores are also available at the carpark.

A good quality university that provides a learning environment that encourages its students to become future leaders in their respective fields.

Clean, orderly and secured quiet place at this time of visit. The church within the campus is airconditioned and has a solemn vibe.

This is the biggest university in the city of Manila and being the only Pontifical university in the Philippines it was the only university to be visited by the Pope. The main building is truly an architectural heritage as the first earthquake-proof structure in the entire country. You could have a leisurely walk around its several parks or hear mass an the air conditioned Santissimo Rosario Parish.

The Museum of Arts and Sciences is the oldest existing museum in the country so it is worth a visit. The University will be celebrating its 400th founding anniversary next year so there will be a lot of activities planned.

Still one of the top PH university. Has multiple ambient sceneries despite being in a compact campus in Manila. Multiple places to study or even chill. Various amenities for students, faculties and visitors.

My alma mater. Main Building architecture one of the best in the country. New buildings are quite boxy, can get themselves a better aesthic design.

Check out the in-house museum at the Main Buidling, the first in the country.

The Main Building is NOT a church so do not genoflect or make a sign of the cross when passing by! 😂

This is one of the top 4 universities here in PH. They're good in sciences. The only issue here is the parking.

One of the prettiest university campuses in the Philippines. Too bad this heritage site is not open to the public.

One of the best university in Manila.
A great place it so relaxing specially early in the morning

Beautiful campus; one of the best universities in the Philippines

Beautiful campus with old building and nice green walk path.

The University of Santo Tomas (UST), founded on April 28, 1611, by Miguel de Benavides, a Dominican friar, is one of the oldest and most esteemed institutions in the Philippines. As the oldest Catholic university in the world with uninterrupted existence, UST has maintained a strong connection with the Dominican order, which has profoundly influenced its identity and mission. Throughout its history, UST has played a significant role in education, culture, and the Catholic faith in the Philippines.

It was an honor for being an one semester exchange student at UST. I was so happy because I got great block mates and best friends there. I gained lots of experiences and adventures when in the Philippines. I love the local people, language and food. I will definitely go back someday. I love UST. I love Philippines.💜 Maraming salamat po! Lots of love from Cambodia.🇰🇭🇵🇭

Founded in 1611, the University of Santo Tomas is the oldest active university in Asia - a beautiful campus and a relatively green space in crowded Manila City.

Spacious Place, Secured and Ofcourse Clean 👌

I cried here as I felt and witnessed my brother's divine intervention-the peace of prayer and cool ambience made it memorable.
