Visayas State University

As a graduate of VSU in 2007, I wholeheartedly support my Alma Mater as one of the best state universities in the Philippines. My experience on this campus was amazing. I grew into a strong, independent individual, traveling from a mountainous area in Negros Occidental to this beautiful, student-friendly school and community. At VSU, I gained not only knowledge, personal development, and a diploma but also learned to appreciate simple things, friendship, emotional stability, and courage - phases of my life that I can't really forget.
