Why did I choose this school: Even though I live far from Manila, I chose PWU because of the quality education it offers at an affordable price. Unlike other schools that offer Pharmacy, PWU has only 2 sections per year level. It means that the student to teacher ratio is low. The professors will be able to teach easier because there are fewer students.

From the basketball court, the paseo, swimming pool, activity areas, and classrooms, they renovated almost all of the facilities to keep up with the modern times.

The classrooms are air-conditioned, except for some that are still being repaired.
