University of Santo Tomas (UST), one of the top universities of the Philippines is located at Espana, Manila. Probably one of the most busy streets in manila. You maybe wondering why i know so much about UST. One reason is that i studied at UST for like a year and i always enjoy random sceneries while going to UST. Which kind of make me miss it, not just the school but also my first block mates in college.
How to Go to UST ? it’s really easy. from South area (Laguna, Las Pinas, Alabang. etc) you can take a bus ride up until Lawton which cost around 50-60php. Once you get to lawton you can take a ride via fx or jeep, as long as the sign from the jeep/fx says Cubao. Then it sill just take you a couple of minutes then you’ll see the big campus of UST and there you go. Just a reminder, always bring an I.D. along with you.
1st Destination: UST Main Building.
“The main building is almost 400 years old already.It weathered different storms/mother nature disasters. If you go inside, you’ll see alot of antique stuffs and antique professors”
2nd Destination: UST’s Food Street.
“In my personal opinion, this is the best place to go if you’re going to UST. There’s so many restaurants you can choose from and you won’t get bored of wondering around”
3rd Destination: UST Hospital

“The UST hospital is one of the oldest hospitals of the philippines and is one of the best Hospitals to choose from. Since UST is labeled as one of the best Medical Schools in the Philippines. Just to add, their facilities is just so techy and all so yeah, i’m pretty sure it’s worth it. “
4th Destination: Architecture Building & Grandstand

Most of the Activities are held at the grandstand because it has a wide open field infront of it and a huge stage. If you took a step upon looking from the Grandstand, I tell you, It’s a beautiful scenery.”
“This picture is taken during the last day of the term. As you can see it’s our block and i kind of miss them lately. “
