What colleges have you attended?

I have blogged about it time and again, my school of learning.

University of Santo Tomas was established in 1611, known as The Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, a Catholic university of the  Philippines and the oldest existing university in Asia. It is a Dominican institution of Learning. It is home of four National Cultural Treasures since 2010: Arch of the Centuries, Central Seminary, Main Building, Grandstand and Open Spaces. In terms of student population, it is the largest Catholic university in the world in a single  campus.

My brothers and I spent our high school and college days in this institution. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in BSC Economics in 1978. My kids,  Nissa and Josef earned their degrees here with Nissa graduating as Magna Cum Laude in BA Communication Arts and Josef with a degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering. Come February, Nate would take his qualifying exams/entrance tests for high school.
