Centro Escolar University — Attraction in Manila

The learning system is difficult because they are employing the block learning system. The subjects are taught quickly: In one month, we typically have to finish our minor subjects; in two months, our major subjects. Imagine having midterms merely two weeks from the start of your subject. Whereas, finals are just one month from the time you start. Most of us find this system difficult. The major subjects are usually not explicitly taught to us. In some cases, teachers summarize or teach quickly just to cope up with the schedule.

A number of students from different courses desire to transfer because of this system, as they find it struggling to learn. I've talked to many students from different courses (Med Tech, Nursing, Pharmacist, etc.), and they all say the same about the system: They do not learn adequately.

In addition, the tuition fee is not worth its price. We do not implement full face to face (for most courses); we conduct face to face classes exclusively for laboratory activities. My classmates and I have talked about this, and we find it deploring (nakakahinayang) for our money, knowing that this school is also quite pricey.

So, if you ever come to think about studying here, think twice so that you won't...

It was so hard to request my transcript to submit to the BON. They don't even try to help me. I was calling all the way from the US and people at the registrar's office are not helpful at all. I don't know who I need to talk to get my transcript send to the BON. I hope somebody can read this comment and help me out. I have a deadline to submit my requirements and CEU is the only one that's delaying it. The people that works in the registrar office doesn't help me at all. :( I pray that everything will be okay in Jesus Name. Sorry but I will not recommend this school to my friends...

I would like to share a few concerns regarding the enrollment process, which my child and I recently experienced:

Cashier – It did not inform us about the option to pay for uniforms and ID lanyards together. I had to queue three separate times, which was very time-consuming.

Uniform Section – The staff were not proactive in assisting students and parents at the window, causing delays.

Overall, the process was inefficient and time-consuming. Since students and parents are paying customers, we hope better service and organization can be provided moving forward.

Thank you for...
