Silliman's art & science bldg doesnt look interactive at all...but who knows, maybe it does look so inside. so that is what they tag, "the UP of the Visayas"...

[weirdo]

wah yoko na pinagtitripan na naman ako dito.

[mhe-ann]

o cya, hindi na po @weirdo. anyway, I went to UPLB earlier, ala masyado tao.

[Francis20]

ano naman ginawa mo dun mhe-ann? n mi miss ko na ang campus. lam niyo ba, ggraduate na ako nung marealize ko that the powerlines and telephone lines are all underground. you can't see any of them overhead. that's what makes the campus nicer.

[mhe-ann]

pinuntahan ko lan ung "magnetic hills" (un daw tawag dun)..at dahil nagkamali ako ng liko, UPLB na pala napasukan ko. Ok na rin, naka-relax kahit sandali.

Pero some are filthy, MEGA rich. Pero konti lang sila.

Anyway, DLSU got its name from St. John Baptiste De La Salle, founder of the Brothers of Christian School (the ones who own DLSU).

thats true , most of the very rich families in the philiipines send their children to school abroad in the usa or england, i would say most of the students in dlsu comes from upper middle class, even the chinese students which form a large part of the population in la salle does not come from very rich families but they are indeed some students who comes from very rich and prominet families but very few

Are DLSU and ADMU in the Philippines equivalent to the "Ivy League" schools here in the US?

Here's more pictures:


Silliman Hall It was built in 1903 and is treasured as a historical landmark in Dumaguete City. It stood the test of time with its four-storey structure whose walls were made of local coral blocks and solid iron posts. The metal sheets used as ceiling were taken from a theater in New York City. Imported timber from the United States West Coast made the rest of the upper floors. It was inaugurated on November 30, 1903.

Cool...Silliman University is one of the best in Visayas. Nice mix of modern and historical buildings.

I guess those two schools have a reputation for being the schools for the elite here in the Philippines, so people (including hiring officers) tend to look at graduates from these two schools a bit differently.

Really?!! I'm a Paulinian also, sa St. Paul's ako nag high school. From what St. Paul ka galing Rico? How about you rmb, what batch ka? I graduated '96 sa high school. Did you attend the university's centennial celebration?

Abot pud diay ka diri Roms? Francis, Romulus is not my clone , actually he's my friend. I told him about this site, di ko lang alam na nandito na pala.

mysa, one of the supposed feature of the AS bldg is that it is elevator ready. But I'm glad that they they did not pursue in installing it. It would just be an act of vanity and laziness, then the burden of cost would be pass on to the students. If you like to see the campus on a 360 degree view, with narration, you can log-on to www.su.edu.ph., just click virtual tour.

Sino na ang nakapunta doon sa Leyte State University (formerly Visayas State College of Agriculture) sa Baybay, Leyte? Ang ganda ng campus nila. Very beautiful and idyllic, ang dami ring puno, tahimik, pollution free, at yung mga teachers nila mostly have doctorate degrees. Very conducive talaga for learning.

Yung unique feature ng school is that their campus both have a beach and a mountain. Yung dagat ang linis at ang linaw. Parang swimming pool dahil kahit kunting alon ay wala. Siguro timing din sa panahon pero ganda talaga. Naka sanctuary din, merong ngang isda na biglang nag tumbling, ang laki!!

Athough some of their buildings are old pero hindi naman dilapidated. Right across the highway ay yung other campus nila papunta sa bundok. Lots of flowers and trees, along the way maririnig mo yung huni ng mga ibon. May nga pine trees, kaya para kang nasa America o Baguio.

Near the top they have 2 giant bronze naked statue of a man and a woman, Search for the Truth ang name ng sculpture, at same person lang daw na gumawa sa Oblation, Guillermo Tolentino right? It depicts Malakas at Maganda. Just a glimpse of that Marcos' touch. According to my uncle, Imelda has an influence on the construction of this school because Leyte is her home province. Well if its true, maybe not all acts of the Marcoses are entirely evil, they still have a good side.

Here are some pics:

Silliman University Marine Laboratory (SUML) was established as the marine research facility of the University in 1974. Its basic concern is the coastal and marine environments and their resources and users. Researches in taxonomy, biology, conservation, management, and feasible mariculture are conducted.


Silliman University Marine Laboratory

At present, it is recognized as the Center of Excellence in Coastal Resources Management and Center of Development in Marine Sciences by the University and the Commission on Higher Education, respectively.
