Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) traces its roots to the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Bacolor, founded on November 4, 1861, making it one of the oldest vocational schools in the country. It became Don Honorio Ventura College of Arts and Trades in 1978 under Presidential Decree 1373, then Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University in 2009 under Republic Act 9832. In 2025, Republic Act 12148 renamed the institution Pampanga State University (PSU), with the original Bacolor site kept as the PSU Don Honorio Ventura Campus. The university operates across nine campuses in Pampanga, including Apalit, Candaba, Porac, Mexico, Santo Tomas, Lubao and San Fernando City. As a state university, undergraduate tuition is free for qualified Filipino students under RA 10931. Its Laboratory High School at the main Bacolor campus offers Junior High School and Senior High School Academic and Technical-Vocational-Livelihood tracks. College offerings span engineering and architecture, computing studies, business, education, nursing and allied health sciences, hospitality and tourism management, and a School of Law offering the Juris Doctor.

As of now, it is a wonderful and big University. It has a lot of rooms, buildings, and other sites that are eye-catching. The faculty and staff are very professional and entertaining, based on my experience within the College of Business Studies. The University also offers a wide range of programs in the field of Business, Accounting, Engineering, Social Studies, Teacher Education, and many more. I highly recommend you to study or work here.
As a current student here, I love my university. The profs are friendly outside the classroom setting. Maraming affordable kainan, even cafe's inside and outside of the university. However, improvements pa sana. • More decent drafting tables sa main cea buildings. • Lounge areas or tambayan area para kapag vacant, doon nalang mga students instead of going outside the university to kill time. • Dagdagan pa yung spaces sa library. I've been into libraries na merong drafting tables for cea students. Para kapag vacant, they can spend their time productively.
Good school but strict professor on science,
currently studying here, first year. good services and staff so far
The area of the school is big. They have new buildings. They have preserved the old structure of the original school back then. They have clean surroundings. Has an access to everything you need and just 20 mins drive from SM San Fernando.
