University of San Carlos - Talamban Campus

I didn't attend this campus but I was forced to go here since all our paperwork goes to this branch. When I arrived they wanted to charge me for printing my grades which I will get after 1 week. I was leaving the country before then and they told me to ask for the head of their department to see if they can expedite the process. When I got to their office they said no one with any authority will be available for the next two days since they are having their annual meeting and no one will be there on Monday as well since it was a holiday. Total mismanagement. For a university you would think they would be smart enough to know that you should always leave someone in charge but then it was like this 5 years ago so I guess I should not be surprised. This campus has a nice ambiance though.

USC is really one the best in universities in Cebu, from facilities and instruction to research. Professors are very qualified and demanding and they offer a fun and fulfilling learning environment. Tuition is higher than most universities in the area, and misc. fees are also expensive. Admissions start early so you'll need to inquire at least two months before the semester starts. Lots of PUJs pass the campus. As of the moment, entry to the campus requires vaccination cards. University shuttle services are currently not in function.

This campus offer Senior High School and College only. Pre-K, Elementary and Junior High is offer on their other campuses. The guards here were accomodating and they give us the direction for their other campus that offer Junior High School. We weren’t able to go further inside the school since we don’t have time.

Ah my Alma Mater! After many years, I finally went back and saw how the engineering campus has changed over the years! My 5-year engineering degree was spent well in TC!
