Culture​

What Makes PUP Unique?

By Dhalia Mae Ga-as

​There are five ways that make PUP unique from the other universities:

5. Food

Delicious and appetizing yet "swak sa budget". You don’t need to worry if your “baon” is not enough to buy food for lunch. ​​​​​​​​​​​Surely, there's no other university that has the same food culture as PUP's.

​

4. Little Intramuros

Want to experience history and enjoy schooling at the same time? Well, PUP has it. One of the latest innovations of our University is having a little Intramuros inside the campus. It aims to let students relax and entwine with the past whenever they have a vacant time.

​

3. Wash day every day!

Here in PUP, we have the freedom to choose what to wear. For us, everyday is a fashion day, wearing clothes that express the real personalities of every student.

​

2. 70 cents per print

Trouble for an expensive print? Come and visit Teresa St. in Sta. Mesa and you can have the affordable but quality printing for your documents.

​

1. 12 PESOS PER UNIT

Claiming one of the spot among all the University around the globe for having the lowest tuition fee is the most unique asset of PUP that makes our University stand out among the others. PUP really enjoys giving a great education among its students in the most affordable tuition fee.

 Nakaaalwa n (Hanggan g Saan Aabot ang Baon Mo?)​

(Kung sakali mang conyo ka at hindi mo maarok ang salitang ito) Mapera. Mayaman-yaman kumpara sa iba.

​

Teresa (Hanggang Saan Aabot ang Baon Mo?)

Pertains to Teresa St. located at the front of the university. As in 'yong kalsadang nadadaanan mo na punung-puno ng mga tindahan ng pagkain, school supplies, computer shops at kung anupang anik-anik.

​

Main (Hanggang Saan Aabot ang Baon Mo?)

Main Campus. 'Yong mismong campus ng PUP along Anonas St. Nakahiwalay kasi 'yong ibang campus (i.e. College of Communication, Institute of Technology, College of Engineering and Architecture, CTHRM) kaya Main pertains to the main campus itself.

​

Sampaguita (Hanggang Saan Aabot ang Baon Mo?)

Sampaguita canteen na nasa loob ng Main Campus.
