Campus Tour: De La Salle University

 De La Salle University (DLSU) is a private Catholic university located along the urban area of Taft Ave., Malate, Manila under the supervision of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

The university's patron saint is St. John Baptist de La Salle, also the institution's founder.

Also one of the premier universities of the Philippines. It boasts excellent facilities, highly qualified faculty members, and wide connections with other universities and institutions. What I really like about this university is that they are very eager on research as well as postgraduate studies as manifested by its numerous centers for research. In addition, DLSU also has several Centers of Excellence(COE) and Development (COD), mostly in the field of engineering and business.

Centers of Excellence

• -Biology
• -Chemistry
• -Chemical Engineering
• -Electronics and Communications Engineering
• -English
• -Filipino language
• -Information Technology
• -Literature
• -Mathematics
• -Mechanical Engineering
• -Physics
• -Teacher Education

Centers of Development

• -Business Management
• -Economics
• -Civil Engineering
• -Industrial Engineering

 I bet student life is really hard at DLSU since a lot of people I know got a failing mark at least once in his/her stay in the university - especially in the Engineering courses.

With regard to the De La Salle University College Entrance Test, my high school classmates say that the Math part was really difficult however a lot of them still got accepted.
