The oldest university in the Philippines.
Not only a school but also a historical and tourist spot.

The university has been planning for its 400th year i think on 2011. When you go to UST now, the place looks amazing!!! It doesnt look as if it's a school!

I didn't know that it was posted in the wrong category, by the way, I heard UST's planning to build a first class hospital inside the campus.

[kisha]

they already have an existing hospital, right? are they planning build a new one? well, that's good news!

[stella]

Schoola in manila are so big. A hospital can actually fit in a campus!o.O

[jbrayos]

Yes, They are planning to build a much larger and more modern hospital building.

[megan21]

The architecture of the building is very nice. Similar in Europe. I don't like the kind of buildings of schools now. They are now boring. :D

By the way, for people who don't know, Jose Rizal studied Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas. Nice, no? Our national hero's school is still up and mighty.

[jbrayos]

Medical and Nursing schools actually have hospitals for their intern students.

Yes, and Santo Tomas will expand campuses in Sta Rosa Laguna, Sri Lanka and General Santos City in celebration for our school's 400 years of excellence in 2011

What i can advise is visit UST during christmas. You will really feel the christmas inside the campus. UST has also this yearly tradition of Paskuhan and administration spends hundreds of thousands in celebration for christmas ( christmas lights, fireworks,etc.) What more? The UST singers will be inside the campus singing all your christmas songs.:)

[jbrayos]

Sri Lanka?

[Hisbenz]

Sri Lanka?

yes! you're right :)

im so excited how UST will look like in sta rosa laguna. Will it look like the old UST in manila? Will be the same ambiance with Spanish-like structures? we'll see :)

[kookay]

Has anyone tried eating at the stores located in the carpark across UST Hospital? Anyway, I've tried Cerealicious, the first cereal bar in the Philippines, and it's quite good!

[esembrano]

as of last year, the hospital and the school have their different ownership. the hospital dont belong to the vatican now.

I've tried eating beside UST at P. Noval street. There's a small "carinderia" there (can't recall the name) which offers affordable sizzling dishes. I'm not sure though if its still there. :)

This is true. Sigh I wish that the Government would fund Government Hospitals to help out cancer patients.
