Far Eastern University (FEU)

Bathroom is pretty nice with the little showers, soap on the sink smells like cotton candy, internet is finicky but works when you manage to make it work. 4 freaking cafeterias on main campus with freaking shawarma shack (as of 2023) and a library with comfy sofas tend to sleep by accident, walking distance to recto station, near starbucks and McDonald so its a ideal for people who hang out for lolz. In addition they occasionally have concerts with famous opm artist. 10/10 would stay again PS: education is pretty solid too idk

Far Eastern University was founded in November 1934 when the Far Eastern College and the Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance (IABF) merged.Far Eastern College, founded in 1919 by Dr. Vicente K. Fabella (first Filipino CPA and father of Armand V. Fabella former secretary of education), had been a liberal arts college in Quiapo; the IABF had been established (originally under the name Institute of Accountancy) by Dr. Francisco T. Dalupan Sr. with co-founders Dr. Hermenegildo Balbino Tantoco Reyes, AB, BSEE, Ll.B (future university president) and Dr. Nicanor B. Reyes Sr., head of the Department of Economics of the University of the Philippines, with a number of other prominent educators in 1928.IABF had been originally predominately used by night students, and the new university, which was supported by the tuition provided by its students rather than government grants. In the early 1930s, FEU was housed in a converted tobacco factory La Oriente Fabrica de Tabacos y Compania) (boundary of Quiapo and Sampaloc district lots) already present on the four hectare (nearly 10 acre) through property lot owned by Sulucan Hill subdivision. Due to the widening of the street that became Quezon Blvd., the original building designed and built by Architect Pablo Antonio Sr. (National Artist for Architecture) was demolished and had to be rebuilt on a bigger scale on what is the present campus of FEU. During World War II, the campus was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army as their base. The main building sustained bullet damage and the three other buildings (Girls High, Boys High and the old Technology Building) was not damaged.In 1934 the Institute of Law was founded, and two years later, the Institute of Technology, with Fransisco Santana, as its first dean. In April 1938, the FEU Junior College was opened in Lingayen, Pangasinan. Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr. was the first founding president of the University, which spent its early years establishing several of its institutes, including those of Law and Technology. Dr. Reyes Sr. commissioned Architect Pablo S. Antonio Sr. a brother in law and husband of his sister Marina del Rosario Reyes-Antonio, who would later be titled as National Artist under the National Artist of the Philippines awards, to construct the main building for the school. In 1939, the Nicanor B. Reyes Sr. Hall, which would later house the main library at third level and Institute of Accounts, Business and Finance, opened. Two other buildings by Antonio, the Girls’ High School Building and Boys High School Building, followed in 1940 and 1941,by which year FEU had 10,000 registered students, with an international student population of 400.Dr. Nicanor B. Reyes Sr. having been killed during the Japanese occupation, Atty./Dr. Hermenegildo Balbino Reyes was appointed the second president of the University when it reopened in 1945.

Had a horrible experience during their online classes. Most profs are ruthless and inconsiderate. I begged one of their profs for an extension because I have to submit at least three to five academic papers per week. The prof denied my request and lectured me about my inability to handle the stress. One of them is not very accommodating. She made me feel stupid for asking help. Most profs will not give me a reply when i messaged them on Microsoft Teams about clarifications for the instructions on the assessments. I have to ask my classmates if a certain prof gave an assement that day and when is the deadline. The only care about money not their students mental wellbeing. There are no academic breaks during the only classes. Nung sisingilin na nila tatay ko about sa tuition fee ang bilis nila aksyunan. Pero other problematic issues were never addresed.
