Let's Ask Nationalians!

We walked around the campus and asked some of the students and staff in the university for an interview about what they can say in this university. Here are their responses:

Student - The student, named Sidney Ardeza, chose to attend NU Laguna because it was the closest UAAP school to their home and they were influenced by a relative who had experience with NU Manila. This connection led them to discover NU Laguna, which was more convenient for them. They found their experience as a tourism student memorable, particularly when engaging with the public at various events and tourist attractions. Their expectations were that the teaching and behavior at NU Laguna would be good, and they found the reality to be aligned with their expectations.

Staff - The staff member, SG. Milky Espiritu, chose to work at NU Laguna because it is close to home and offers a positive work environment. They shared that student behavior has been respectful, especially when reminded of rules. They noted that the dormitory previously available to all students is now prioritized for athletes, especially the Gilas team. They also highlighted the availability of sports facilities and equipment, and mentioned that working relationships with colleagues are generally good.

Professor - One of our professors, Ma'am Jasmine Orejudos, chose to work at NU Laguna because of good compensation, benefits, and the appreciation of their expertise by management. They expressed that it is an overall great place to work, citing these factors as key reasons for their decision to join the institution.

To wrap things up, NU Laguna definitely offers a practical and flexible approach to higher education, whether you’re looking to study online or attend classes on campus.
