University of Northern Philippines at the apex in Ilocos region.

Tips: There is a big cultural difference since Filipinos demand honesty and punctuality as fundamental etiquette. They are a very jolly, fun-loving bunch of people but are very obedient in what they do. They are quite open to accepting international students and show tremendous support in accommodation. I didn't avail of any scholarship since usually for international students there are None. I am extremely happy, satisfied and fortunate that I was able to study at this university and stay in the Phil...

A welcoming community for growth and learning.

Tips: Students should be aware of the academic rigour and the level of independence required. It's important to manage time well, as the coursework can be demanding. Familiarity with the campus facilities, available resources, and student organizations can also be helpful. The location and local culture should be considered as well to ensure comfort and adaptability. Transitioning to a new college can be a challenge. Many students experience a cultural shift in terms of academic structure, social norm...

You need a special work permit if you want a part-time job.

Tips: It is important to be aware of the eligibility requirements before you apply to a medical school, especially if it's outside of your home country. Please ensure you know the application deadline, and if there are application fees. You should make sure your family can support you financially throughout your studies, as well as the costs of relocation and visas, if applicable. Also, if you do get admitted, please keep abreast of the changing NMC rules and regulations regarding foreign medical cour...

The college is above average and good for studies.

Tips: It's a good place to study, and the atmosphere is good. I did have to deal with a little bit of discrimination from some of my classmates because I'm from another country, but the faculty treated me fine. I did an internship at a hospital set up by the College of Medicine. We've also had short clinical visits to nearby hospitals with different doctors and professors from different subjects. The school is in a nice quiet area, there are some Indian restaurants nearby, and transportation is cheap....

The quality of education at my college was excellent. It had more practical exposure.

Tips: I had experienced a culture shift. As a foreign student, I was able to interact with a lot of people from that country. It helped me grow in my personality development and functional management, especially to become self-sufficient. It's easy to get public transportation in the Philippines and it's affordable. Local transportation in the Philippines is diverse and caters to different needs, ranging from affordable daily commutes to more comfortable private transport. But taxies and authorised se...
